I have stayed at the Sheraton and the Oriental on previous stays in Bangkok but the Shangri-La, to me, is the best one. I stayed with a friend for a 2 day stopover before heading down to Sydney. Whilst checking in we were very nicely upgraded and had breakfast thrown in - complimentary. We were then taken round to the... more

Just one quick note on Shangri-La Bangkok. 0n July 17th 2008, pool and garden areas by the river are closed for renovation. The smaller pool one the other building is however open. This is something that I really hate: hotels not telling you beforehand that you'll be staying on a construction site. At least I did not find anything on... more

We stay at this hotel in Bangkok instead of others for 3 main reasons. 1. Balconies overlooking the river. Many hotels in Bangkok overlook the river but very few have balconies. Most of the balconies are in the Krungthep wing. There's nothing nicer than having your morning coffee while breathing in the not-yet-smoggy air and watching the river boats dart... more

Stayed here for a week in April. Were given an upgrade to the Krungthep Wing which was really fantastic. Our stay included complementary Afternoon tea, early evening cocktails and laundry - great. Our room was on a high floor and overlooked the river. Compared to the main wing of the hotel the Krungthep was an oasis of peace and quiet,... more

Just came back from a week's stay at Shangri-La. Great location, handy to both the Skytrain & Central Peir. I consider myself to be a discerning traveller & therefore can be very critical of my accomodation. I will definetly stay here again. The staff are extremely friendly, as are most people in Thailand & always willing to assist. As Bangkok... more

We stayed at the Shangri la for 3 nights in June. We were in the Shangri La wing and upgraded to a river view room with a balcony. It was really large- with a great bathroom- also with views of the river. The bed was really comfy- as was the sofa. The service everywhere in the hotel was superb. It... more
