During our trip to Bangkok, we had the pleasure of staying at the Royal Orchid Sheraton, a hotel that perfectly blends luxury with the vibrant culture of Thailand. From the moment we arrived, the experience was excellent, making our time in Bangkok even more memorable. This hotel served as our base of operations that included short trips to Vietnam and Cambodia.
A Warm Welcome to Royal Orchid Sheraton
Upon entering the Royal Orchid Sheraton, we were greeted by a grand lobby that immediately set the tone for our stay. The staff was welcoming and efficient, ensuring a smooth check-in process. Our room was ready upon arrival, and we were quickly escorted to our accommodation, where the real treat began.
Riverside Views and Comfortable Accommodations
Our room at the Royal Orchid Sheraton was nothing short of spectacular. The hotel is situated right on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, and our room offered stunning views of the river and the bustling city beyond. Waking up to the sight of boats gliding along the water, with the sun rising over Bangkok, was a daily highlight.
The room itself was spacious, with modern amenities that catered to all our needs. The bed was incredibly comfortable, providing a perfect place to rest after a day of exploring the city. The bathroom was equally luxurious, with a large bathtub and high-end toiletries that added a touch of indulgence to our stay.
Dining and Leisure
The Royal Orchid Sheraton boasts several dining options, each offering a unique culinary experience. As Marriott Platinum members, we had access to the Concierge Suite, where we had an amazing breakfast every morning. The breakfast offered a wide selection of hot and cold items. While atypical of a western breakfast, the food was amazing.
There were also many restaurants to choose from nearby. We took Grab to several restaurants, but also walked to Chinatown a couple of times. It was not a tremendously long walk. The river taxi also docked directly behind the hotel, offering direct access to Icon Siam Mall directly across the river. There were numerous dining options at the mall.
Exploring Bangkok with Convenience
One of the best aspects of staying at the Royal Orchid Sheraton was its convenient location. The hotel offers a complimentary water taxi service that takes guests to the nearby IconSiam Mall, one of Bangkok’s premier shopping destinations. This service made it incredibly easy for us to explore the city, whether we were heading out for a day of shopping or sightseeing.
The hotel’s proximity to key attractions such as the Grand Palace and Wat Arun also made it an ideal base for our Bangkok adventures. After a day of exploring, returning to the comfort and luxury of the Royal Orchid Sheraton felt like coming home. Many of the tours will also offer hotel pick up, which was also very convenient.
Final Thoughts
Our stay at the Royal Orchid Sheraton was a solid base of operations during our trip to Bangkok. The combination of luxurious accommodations, stunning river views, and excellent service made for an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re visiting Bangkok for business or leisure, the Royal Orchid Sheraton offers a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and Thai hospitality.
If you’re planning a trip to Bangkok, we highly recommend the Royal Orchid Sheraton as your home away from home. It’s a place where luxury meets culture, providing a truly unique and memorable stay.
