Picolo recommends · Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand
Rosewood Bangkok
A tower shaped like hands pressed together in a Thai greeting, right on the Skytrain line in the middle of the city.
Look up from the Skytrain platform and the building explains itself: its outline copies the wai, the Thai greeting where you press your palms together and bow slightly. Inside, the rooms are large and modern.
Some rooms have a plunge pool set by the window, with the city spread out below. Restaurants, malls and the Skytrain are all at the door, and the bar on the top floors offers a quieter evening than the famous rooftops.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Rosewood Bangkok
This is our design pick, for travellers who want to stay right in the thick of the city. The architecture is striking, the rooms are generous, and you can be anywhere on the Skytrain within minutes.
Do not expect gardens. This is a city hotel through and through, and the view is of towers rather than trees. If you want greenery and calm, a hotel by the river or in Sathorn will suit you better.
What you get
- Plunge pools in some rooms
- Large, modern rooms
