Review / We review the Rosewood Bangkok, the luxury 5-star hotel that greets you with a Thai wai and a smile

Sep 22 , 2019

Boasting stunning views of the city, elegant decor and relaxing Thai spa services, Rosewood Bangkok is the latest five-star hotel to hit Thailand’s capital city.

With calming, Thai-inspired spa treatments, fine dining, a speakeasy and more, Rosewood Bangkok offers guests an elegant destination in the heart of Thailand’s capital

The Bangkok skyline has a new glittering addition thanks to the Rosewood Bangkok hotel, with its distinctive exterior inspired by the Thai hand gesture greeting – the wai.

The exterior of Rosewood Bangkok pays homage to the Thai hand gesture called the wai.

Located in the heart of the central business district on Ploenchit Road Road and directly connected to the Ploenchit Road Skytrain Station, this five-star luxury hotel is a walk away from some of the most popular shopping malls, including Central Embassy, Siam Paragon and CentralWorld, and tourist spots Lumphini Park and Erawan Shrine.

The new five-star Rosewood Bangkok is decorated with elegance and sophistication, even in the lobby.

The Rosewood signature style is apparent here where it has created a modern luxury manor while integrating Thai culture in its design, with accents of rich woods and rattan-inspired patterns, pops of turquoise and emerald against a calming backdrop of browns, creams and gold tones. From the moment you walk in, you feel the tranquillity. There are 159 rooms which include 34 suites and studios with three signature houses with their own private pools and terraces.

Spacious rooms offer breathtaking city views in the Rosewood Bangkok executive suites.

We stayed in a spacious executive room that has a separate living and bedroom area, and we loved the view of the city through floor-to-ceiling windows – not only from there, but the bathroom too. The decor is soft creams with a lattice partial-room divider from the sofa seating area to the bedroom.

Floor-to-ceiling windows are fitted throughout the Rosewood Bangkok executive suite, even in the bathroom.

We loved the artwork on the walls and Thai accessories on the side tables such as books, flowers and ornaments. The room is stylish and comfortable, with modern amenities such as the LCD television, Bluetooth speaker and multimedia connection, the fully-stocked private bar and Nespresso coffee machine, and tea making facilities as well as the comforts of the bespoke bath amenities, Dyson hairdryer and the comfortable terry cloth dressing gown and slippers. We also loved the spacious walk-in wardrobe.

For a bit of relaxation, guests can head to the Rosewood Bangkok Sense spa for Thai treatments and facials.
