Lonely Planet review

Perched on the edge of Thonburi on the west bank of the Chao Phraya, the magnificent Peninsula Hotel peers over Bangkok. Unflappably distinguished and serene, this 39-storey hotel towers above the others in quality and is regularly designated the best hotel in the world. It's an alternate universe of discreet excess and seamless aesthetic unity.

The Peninsula is flawless, from its three-tiered pool to its original Asian artworks. Well-heeled whispers and the scent of dignified and inexhaustible wealth drift through the vault-like, polished-marble lobby. It's tranquil, on the verge of tranquilising. The rooms are similarly soporific, exemplary havens of pale-green oriental wood furnishings and thick quilts. The suites are sumptuous. Curtains open automatically to reveal magnificent city views. The double-vanity bathrooms boast separate showers, deep tubs, a television and - but of course - three telephones. Rooms average 46 sq m (over 500 sq ft) with separate sitting and sleeping areas. Guests can glide gently across the river on the complimentary barge.
