Mandarin Oriental Hotel

Anchalee C.

…Sometimes, the most special moments don’t need a grand trip — just a quiet riverside stay that feels like. This year, We didn’t travel abroad or plan a big trip — just wanted a peaceful, meaningful anniversary. We stayed (Oct.12-14) in a beautiful river-view room, where the Chao Phraya reflected the morning light so softly. As members, we received complimentary breakfast which made the stay extra relaxing. When we entered the room, a red heart-shaped chocolate cake and a sweet handwritten card were waiting — such a lovely touch. Breakfast at The Verandah was delightful — open-kitchen egg station, fresh cold-pressed juices, and whole coconuts by the river. The calm breeze, sunlight, and gentle sound of boats made everything feel timeless. Lunch at Lord Jim’s was equally impressive — fresh seafood and a surprise anniversary chocolate cake from the team. A small but meaningful gesture that made our day even more special. Parking is across the street from the main building, so valet service is much more convenient. Sometimes, true luxury isn’t about going far — it’s about being in a place that cares with heart. Quiet, graceful, and unforgettable. 🌿

An absolutely unforgettable stay at the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok. I spent six days here, each one feeling like a true moment of bliss. My room, spacious and refined, offered a splendid view. Breakfast, with its remarkable variety and quality, was a daily delight. Having stayed at several Mandarin Oriental properties, I can confidently say that Bangkok has been, by far, my most memorable experience. I was deeply touched by the attentiveness and kindness of the staff: their smiles, thoughtfulness, and remarkable anticipation truly made all the difference. A heartfelt thank you for these unforgettable moments.

I had a wonderful staycation at Mandarin Oriental Bangkok — where classic charm meets modern comfort. The suite was beautifully designed with elegant Thai touches, a spacious bedroom, a cozy living area, and a balcony overlooking the Chao Phraya River. Every detail, from the lighting to the furnishings, felt warm and refined. The bathroom was luxurious with double vanities and a spa-like atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy exceptional hospitality. A truly memorable Bangkok getaway.

My stay at the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in a cocoon of elegance, luxury, and genuine care. The hotel is currently celebrating its 150th anniversary, and you can truly feel the rich history at every turn. Despite its long legacy, the property is beautifully maintained, and I particularly appreciated how they have managed to preserve the classic "old-world" style throughout, creating a timeless atmosphere. However, what truly sets this hotel apart is its people. Every member of the team I encountered was not only professional but also warm, friendly, and utterly attentive, making me feel valued every step of the way. I was fortunate to be assigned a corner room with stunning views of the river that stretched as far as the eye could see. The room itself was incredibly spacious, featuring a cosy sofa by the expansive windows and a small balcony to enjoy the fresh air. The bathroom and walk-in closet were beautifully designed, providing all the comforts I could ask for. A huge thank you to the Housekeeping and Butler teams for their exceptional efforts in ensuring everything was perfect. The Verandah, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant, was a particular highlight. Situated along the river, it offers a serene setting, and I particularly enjoyed their Thai dishes, fresh, flavourful, and expertly prepared. It is a wonderful spot to sip wine and watch the activity on the river, with every person who attended to us displaying impeccable service. I could not resist visiting the Bamboo Bar daily, one of the most fun and unique cocktail menus I have ever come across. The team here is incredibly warm and remembers your preferences, which adds a lovely personal touch to each visit. A special shout-out to Scott, whose passion behind the bar is infectious and made each cocktail experience even more enjoyable. I must also mention the pool team. I had a brief window one afternoon to escape to the pool, and although the rain soon arrived, the experience was still delightful. The pool staff treated me to a delicious ice cream with local toppings, a thoughtful touch that made a rainy day special. For those visiting, do not miss the chance to dine at "The China House", one of the hotel’s newer restaurants. The Dim Sum at lunch is fantastic, and the variety of other dishes offered was equally impressive. It is certainly on my list for next time. A visit to the Oriental Spa is an absolute must. After a scenic boat ride across the river, you are transported into an oasis of tranquility. My friend and I had treatments here, and while she chose an oil massage, I opted for a Thai massage. At first, I thought I might be "killed" by the intensity, but by the end, I truly felt reborn, a remarkable experience! A huge thank you to Tassenne and Supaporn, who gave us one of the best massages we have ever had. Lastly, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Vipanant, Mayuree, Tanguy, Nicha, Rodolphe, and Kyan. Their kindness and professionalism helped make this stay truly memorable, and I will be sure to remember them for years to come. Thank you for making my time in Bangkok so exceptional, I cannot wait to return!

Our dining experience at Verandah restaurant, for which we had a 7 PM reservation at a river table, presented a few areas for improvement. While the food and service were commendable, the placement of our table in the outdoor area, necessitated by light rain, led to an unfortunate experience. First of all, our new table was placed in the middle of the restaurant. During our reservation call, it was confirmed that we would be seated at the riverfront. This should also be taken into account if you have to replace your guest. The second and bigger issue was the persistent smell of mosquito coils, which caused discomfort, specifically a stinging sensation in my nose. Despite my attempts to disregard the issue, the smell was unavoidable. Upon settling the bill, I requested that the staff remove the coils due to the issue. The staff member initially indicated that our table also had coils, but I explained the difference in direction. The staff member then offered to remove the coils. Is the management of the restaurant not aware of the fact that there are odorless mosquito coils available as well? I trust that this feedback will reach the appropriate management, including the owner, director, or manager. I kindly request that the restaurant consider the needs of customers with sensitivities to smoke or mosquito coil odors.
