All-out luxe at riverside hotel in dazzling Bangkok

• Riverside wonders: Situated along Chao Phraya River, this retreat shows you a different side of Bangkok. It sits a little ways from the city's bustling centre, taking you away from the maddening crowd and instead, giving you a front row seat to Bangkok's riverside charm. The vibe here is decidedly more zen, in the evenings, the glittering skyline in the distance adding a touch of romance to its atmosphere.

• Long, lazy days: You'll find your stay here soothing, with morning views of longtail boats floating lazily down the river, a gleaming cultural monument in the distance or watching the sun rise above Bangkok's ever-evolving architecture. When you're not out exploring, making use of the hotel's impressive pool, or visit the hotel's Massira Wellness & Spa. Get an hour's long Thai massage, or make use of the spa's facilities, like the sauna and steam room.

• Enticing offerings: Eight different restaurants and bars spoil guests. Terrace@72 kicks off the mornings with an amazing international spread that become even more spectacular at night. In the evenings, barbecued meats, seafood and more grace the open-show kitchen where guests can dine with view of the river and city. Head to Eurasian Grilled for a carefully curated menu of Western cuisine. Especially popular with locals is the Ah Yat Forum Restaurant, perfect for Sunday dim sum and other Cantonese treats.
