The Best Hotel in the World

2. Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River
3. Capella Bangkok
Four Seasons Bangkok at Chao Phraya River came in second place, with Capella Bangkok rounding off the triumvirate – cementing Asia’s reputation as a destination that effortlessly merges local culture and authenticity with innovation and world-class facilities.
