Visitors to Bangkok are even more spoiled for high-end accommodation choices with the opening of Capella Bangkok.
High-end hotel openings continue amidst pandemic lockdowns, with Capella Bangkok opening its doors at the beginning of October 2020. In the short term, residents of Thailand can try things out, while visitors for overseas can start planning for borders to reopen…whenever that may be.
Capella is yet another property to add to the colour of Bangkok’s Chao Phraya riverbanks, offering 101 rooms and suites, the smallest of which measures-in at a very spacious 61 square-metres. All rooms offer river views and either a private balcony or a verandah with jacuzzi plunge pool.
The hotel offers four F&B outlets – a riverside outlet focusing on regional Thai cuisine, a European fine-dining outlet headed by Mauro Colagreco of the 3-Michelin-star Mirazur in France offering “contemporary reinterpretations of the traditional recipes and culinary heritage of the French and Italian Riviera,” a patisserie, and a tea lounge.
There is a spa and wellness centre, a 24-hour fitness centre, and a ‘living room’ which is reserved for the use of Capella guests.
A resort boat shuttles guest to the IconSiam mall and Sathorn Pier, where there’s a BTS Skytrain station as well as connections to other Chao Phraya transport options. While the riverside is seeing a fair amount of gentrification, Capella is just outside that zone, but transport from Sathorn Pier does put those areas in easy reach.
When Thailand reopens, travellers to Bangkok are even more spoiled for choice than ever before.
