To keep it short, this is the best hotel I’ve stayed. Every detail exudes charm-old decor, creative breakfasts, the colors, the walls by hand. I feel at home here.
We are really excited about the no smoking policy, and the fact that there are no televisions in the rooms. Adds to the atmosphere of sweet simplicity and power of the place. The staff is super accessible and useful, either to ask for directions or Bangkok information or whatever. There is even a small gift shop filled with handmade delights, and an organic rooftop garden.
You’ll have to ask not to have bedding and towels changed regularly, in the interest of saving water, but there are many so-called “green” policies being carried out here, among which is the [magic] homemade soap, which has a smell of earth, and leave you renewed, but unfortunately that is not [yet] for sale in the store.
Breakfast is included in the price and a discount is available through online registration for returning visitors. I highly recommend this place, so much care and attention has been paid to the development and nurturing of this cozy place is a perfect reminder of the simpler things, and their presence in Bangkok, has helped give me a new perspective the city. Simply beautiful.
Probably not good for visitors who want to smoke in the place or need a television program. The only drawback that I can think is that they do not have a broader menu (coffee, juices, teas and snacks are available for a small cost at the cafe on the site).
Not too far from Tham Na Hometaurant, which has a large vegetarian menu to complement the lunch / dinner.

Last summer we stayed at the Peninsula and is truly wonderful. The service was exemplary, the lobby was beautiful and the rooms overlooking the river were well equipped and very comfortable.
The location is excellent because it is far from Noisey center of Bangkok and it was nice to be in the river, especially since the peninsula has its own boat to take him across the river where you can take the train from the sky. Never waited more than 5 minutes for a boat. You can also take the route of the canal from the hotel or just across the river on boats to the Grand Palace.
Breakfast buffet included in our rate and it was huge, and a great way to start the day as you can dine outside on the terrace beside the river and enjoy the breakfast which was plentiful and delicious with a wide variety of choices ..
The spa is truly beautiful and is a very relaxing experience, and although it is much more expensive than other spas in Thailand was really worth two hours of massage with dinner was the same price I paid in New York for an hour massage without the incredible surroundings.
The Peninsula is not only a great hotel, but had a reasonable price for a 5 star hotel and certainly stay at the Peninsula on my next visit and recommend to friends who want a beautiful and comfortable hotel in Bangkok.

250 Sukhumvit Rd, Bangkok 10110, Thailand
I stayed at the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit twice already, both on business trips. And both times, the experience has been excellent. The staff is friendly and everyone speaks English fluently. They are quick to check in You can ask any question to the concierge and have a ready answer. The breakfast buffet is lavish and it is not difficult to find a table, even during peak hours. Personally, what I really like about this hotel is near the MTR. There is an elevated walkway connecting the hotel to Sukhumvit station and you can go to all major shopping locations in the hotel. Moreover, the rates are not so expensive compared with other 5 star hotels in the city.
