Review
Rooms in the Shangri-La’s Krungthep wing, which was added in 1991 and also houses the excellent Chi Spa, come with balconies, butler service and offer more privacy and serenity than the ones in the Shangri-La Wing (it also has a pool exclusively for guests staying there and in suites in the Shangri-La Wing). Be aware, however, if you’re traveling with kids or elderly people, that the walk between the wings is considerable. There’s a gorgeous pool, surrounded by lush gardens by the river, two tennis courts and a gym with river views. Best of all, the location can’t be beat: within walking distance of a Sky Train station. Go for an upper-floor room with river views in the Krungthep Wing.
Who Should Stay
Travelers who want the size and services of a resort with convenient access to the sights of Bangkok.
