Four Seasons Returns to Bangkok with Brand New Hotel on the River

(31 Oct 2021) Four Seasons has finally returned to Thailand's capital city with a brand new hotel on the Chao Phraya River.

The new property is also home to 366 Four Seasons Private Residences which are scheduled to open in 2021.

The 299-room hotel can be accessed via the river, or from Charoenkrung Road. Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK) is about 40 minutes away from the hotel, depending on traffic.

Rooms boast high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows with river or garden views, and spa-like bathrooms.

Of all the rooms at the Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok, it is the Terrace Suites which offer the ultimate in spacious luxury with landscaped and furnished terraces large enough to host a private dinner party.

The 450 square metre (4,800 square foot) Presidential Suite has two-storey windows which frame the 10th-floor views of the Chao Phraya River, whilst a large open living area with its own bar and catering kitchen, up to three bedrooms and an oversized terrace with private plunge pool, complete the space.

General Manager Lubosh Barta, who began his Four Seasons career in Bangkok 16 years ago, said, “Like the city of Bangkok, our new Four Seasons is full of surprises, whether it’s the breath-taking river views, the rich design details, the perfect cocktail or a striking piece of art.

The centre is highlighted by a lavish spa suite with its own private bath and indoor garden, plus eight additional treatment rooms. The spa also includes a spacious consultation area with retail shop, and relaxation lounges.

Additional services are provided at the in-house hair salon, barber shop and nail salon.

A gym, dedicated mind and body studio with regular open and private classes, and a 30 metre (98 foot) lap pool complete the fitness offering.
