As a travel agent with 20 years in the business, I’ve had the privilege of experiencing some of the world’s most exceptional hotels, and I must say, The Siam Hotel is in a league of its own. From the moment I arrived, the level of care, attention to detail, and genuine warmth from the team was unparalleled. A special mention to Nick, the General Manager, whose leadership is evident in every aspect of the hotel. He and his team went above and beyond to ensure every detail of my stay was flawless. Their dedication to providing an extraordinary experience is truly commendable. The property itself is breathtaking—a perfect blend of luxury, heritage, and tranquility in the heart of Bangkok. The design, the service, and the overall ambiance make it a standout among luxury hotels. In my two decades of traveling and curating experiences for my clients, The Siam is easily one of the best hotels I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in. I’ll definitely be back and will enthusiastically recommend it to my discerning clients. Thank you, Nick and team, for a truly unforgettable experience!

Anyone familiar with Bill Bensley's recent projects - Bali, Vietnam, Siem Reap etc. - will be expecting a stunning property. The Siam won't disappoint. But even better is how the owners - a Thai family who apparently have a long history in hotels - have assembled a superb GM and charming staff, together with a splendidly elegant river launch and numerous other small touches, for their flagship property. It all combines to make The Siam the best place to stay in Bangkok. Bar none. The celebrated MO may have lots of history and a more convenient location but The Siam has better rooms, even more character and is simply nicer. Not inexpensive but for what you get, good value.

The Siam WOW WOW WOW!!!. There aren’t enough words to describe the incredible experience that we have had staying for three nights at this amazing hotel. I write this review with tears in my eyes as we pull away heading to the airport….because I felt like I had to say goodbye to our new family. Not only is the hotel absolutely stunning- it’s the service that makes a stay here one that you will never forget. There is no stone left unturned when it comes to making you feel taken care of and like you are their most treasured guest- doing all this with personalized care to each and every guest. When we arrived, the hotel manager Nick, along with the bellmen, were waiting on the steps for us- expecting our arrival. The Thai culture and people are so incredibly caring and friendly- so very different for us from the United States. We were whisked away by Nick, and invited to sit and enjoy some fresh pressed juice and a cool towel. It was here that we met Sumet, our butler, who quickly turned in to our best friend. We arrived quite early so our room was not ready. We were escorted down to the waterfront restaurant and treated to breakfast (much needed after 25 hours of travel). The grounds…absolutely stunning and beautiful maintained. From the lush tropical decor to the infinity pools, we were just in awe. And the room….so classy and chic and HUGE by US standards. By far the most luxurious and comfortable bed we have ever slept in! Sumet….our amazing butler ❤️ He tended to our every need and quickly got a sense of what type of travelers we were. He sat down with us when we first arrived and looked over our plans for the 3 jam packed days we had planned and offered a few tips. He requested one night to plan an evening for us….and what a treat it was! On his own personal time, he took us on a private night tour in Bangkok. We got to see Bangkok through his eyes, meandering down some of the streets in Chinatown, stopping at a locals rooftop bar and enjoying a lovely cocktail as we got to learn more about the city. Finally, Sumet had made a reservation for us at an incredible restaurant, Charmgang, escorted us to the restaurant and politely left us to enjoy the best meal we had in Bangkok. Sumet is a special human and one that we quickly grew to love and will never forget. Every single person that works at the Siam is so happy, caring, and willing and eager to please. It is a very special group of people that work here and take staying at a 5 star resort to the next level. I had emailed the hotel prior to our arrival to see if they could set up a small little something for my husband. We had just gotten married and I wanted to have a framed picture from our wedding waiting in the room with a cold bottle of champagne. While keeping it a secret, they printed our digital picture and had it set up in our room. Such a special touch ❤️ So Nick, Sumet, and everyone else that took care of our every need….THANK YOU!!!! You made the start to our honeymoon one that we will never ever forget. When I say you became family, you truly did. Your personalized touches and incredible hospitality are so appreciated. Thank you Siam….we will never forget you all!!!

Our stay at The Siam was an absolute pleasure, even though we arrived in the middle of the night due to an unexpected flight diversion. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, greeting us with welcome drinks and a thorough introduction to the hotel. The Siam beautifully blends British colonial with traditional Thai elements. While it's tucked away from the city center, the riverside setting is a welcome escape from the business of Bangkok. Reaching the city is easy with taxis or the hotel's own water taxi service, which can be booked through the front desk. If you booked your trip, I would suggest reaching out to the concierge via WhatsApp (you'll find the number on their website) – they're incredibly helpful! Our suite was spacious. Service throughout the hotel was impeccable, and the food was exceptional – both breakfast and dinner were highlights. The hotel is filled with fascinating antique pieces both in the rooms and throughout the property. We had a truly unique Bangkok experience at the Siam. And don't miss the spa – the massages were the perfect way to unwind at the end of our trip.
