By the Chao Phraya River of the Thai capital stands a 5-star luxury hotel set within lush tropical gardens known as the Shangri-La Hotel in Bangkok. This city resort hotel has 799 well-appointed guestrooms decorated stylishly with classic Thai accents, all boasting either river or city views. Rooms from one of its two wings benefit from having balconies. Featuring its signature spa and Shangri-La’s reputation for attention to detail, the hotel promises serenity amidst the busy city of Bangkok.
As Thailand’s capital and main port, Bangkok is also the biggest and only metropolis in the country. The city is known for its cultural wealth, notorious nightlife, and multitude of fantastic shopping options. Bangkok embodies a wealth of contrasts: old and new, rich and poor, exotic and Western. It is an exciting place to visit and has been voted as one of the hottest tourist destinations of the world.
Shangri-La Hotel Bangkok is located by the river at the heart of the business district of Silom. It is within walking distance of numerous shopping districts and famous sights. Among the attractions near the area are the Wat Yannawa Buddhist Temple, the Sri Maha Mariamman Hindu Temple, and Lumphini Park, which is Bangkok’s biggest park. For a dose of Thai boxing, go to Lumphini Boxing Station, which is also close to the hotel.
Not far from Shangri-La Hotel Bangkok is a building paler in grandeur but no less important than Bangkok’s other architectural wonders. Bangkok City Hall, the seat of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) (http://city.bangkok.go.th/en/index.php), is the governing body of Bangkok.
