Overview

Serene tropical gardens, gorgeous views over the Chao Phraya River and a signature spa make the Shangri-La one of the most relaxing places to stay in hectic Bangkok. This hotel combines attentive, warm Thai service and a luxury environment with an excellent location from which to explore Thailand's electric capital city, with many of its iconic attractions just a stones throw away.

The rooms and suites are distinctly modern, with all the hi-tech amenities you could ask for, plush beds and sleek bathrooms with premium Shangri-La toiletries, while nodding to centuries-old Thai heritage with touches of tradition in the furniture and decor. There may be over 800 rooms and suites, but they have an air of tranquility, providing a haven from the hustle and bustle of the city outside, and you can take in lovely city and river views from large windows and private balconies. The irresistible variety of cuisine on offer at several restaurants ranges from gourmet Thai specialties to international fare, so there is something for everyone, as well as numerous restaurants nearby. Try the exceptional Cantonese cuisine at Shang Palace, while at the Salathip restaurant, you can dine on a traditional Thai pavilion by the riverside on a balmy evening as you are entertained by Thai dancing.

Those with a sweet tooth, young and old, will love the Chocolate Boutique, where you can treat yourself to signature chocolate cakes and creative chocolate-themed drinks. If you fancy a drink, there are a number of bars to choose from - we recommend a pre or post-dinner cocktail at the elegant Long Bar, which is something of a local hot spot. With the city on your doorstep, you have Bangkok at your feet, and you can also head out on the water: enjoy a cruise on the hotel's own luxury cruise boat, tucking into a gourmet international buffet as you meander along the Chao Phraya River. This is a lovely way to take in the glittering sights on its banks, such as the Grand Palace and Wat Arun (the Temple of Dawn).

After a days sightseeing, pamper yourself in the spa, whose blissful treatments are inspired by traditional techniques, relax in a Jacuzzi or cool off with a swim in the outdoor pool, surrounded by tropical greenery. If you prefer something more active, have a workout with a game of tennis or head to the fitness center and dance studio.

  • I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.

    Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.

    El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.

    Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.

    So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last

  • Thank you, we had an absolute wonderful time, and everything was well-planned and as described. Carla was crying on the day of our departure from Ants Nest, she didn’t want to go home and for it all to end, and when I asked how much longer she would want to stay, she responded “four weeks”

  • We had the most amazing time. It exceeded all my hopes of what the trip would be. The guides, the hotels - everything was of such a wonderful quality. Thank you for organizing everything. I will absolutely recommend Tourdust and use you again.
