The Thai capital pulses with a modern energy that visitors feel the moment they step onto its busy streets. Along with historic architecture and sites, it has mouthwatering food and a dynamic arts scene. That same heady mix can be found in the city’s hotels, which range from major global brands to standout smaller properties. GoTravelDaily readers’ picks for the best hotels in Bangkok reflect everything that makes this city so appealing.
Every year for our World’s Best Awards survey, GoTravelDaily asks readers to share their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Hotels were rated on their facilities, location, service, food, and overall value. Properties were classified as city or resort based on their locations and amenities.
“A truly resort-style hotel in the heart of Bangkok” is how one reader described the Sukhothai (No. 4), an oasis in Sathon within walking distance of popular Lumphini Park. That resort feeling is especially strong thanks to facilities like the 25-meter infinity-edged swimming pool, set among plentiful greenery and rows of chaise longues — and the Spa Botanica, for lemongrass and ginger scrubs and traditional Thai massages.

However, it was a fairly recent debut, Capella Bangkok, that took top honors. Read on for more about what made it the favorite and the full list of the best hotels in Bangkok.
