Shangri-La hotel luxury in Bangkok (Thailand)

The hotel's modern western decor is enhanced by the beauty and fine craftsmanship of Thai decorative motifs and artwork, found from the lobby to every guestroom and suite. Plush and posh - yet, inviting and in a soothing east-meets-west style.
The 25-storey Shangri-La Wing (670 rooms) and smaller, more exclusive Krungthep Wing (129 rooms) encircle the lush gardens, and serve as a perfect backdrop to the resort-like pool areas. Palm trees, flowering bougainvillea, orchids and birds of paradise complete this perfect picture.
The almost quarter of a mile (402 meters) stretch along the Chao Phraya River gives the Shangri-La the longest river frontage of any inner-city hotel, while it's also the only hotel in the area situated so close to a BTS Skytrain station (Saphan Thaksin).
Getting around to major tourist and shopping attractions is a breeze; a complimentary boat shuttle service is available every half hour to Rivercity with its antiques and collectables, as well as a hospitality minibus that makes regular rounds to Silom's bustling nightlife scene, and a few other daytime routes. Or choose from tailboats, rivertaxis, tuk-tuks and taxis. If traveling in style is your thing, a limousine or helicopter is just a phonecall away.
