Location & Overall Design

The Mandarin Oriental Bangkok is located at 48 Oriental Avenue, on the Chao Phraya River, which gives it both scenic riverfront views and easy access to Bangkok’s cultural heart. Its design reflects a mix of colonial heritage and elegant Thai touches: teak furnishings, well-manicured tropical gardens, marble surfaces, traditional silk fabrics and old-world charm in many public spaces.

Architecturally the property comprises multiple wings—the original Heritage Wing (formerly The Oriental, opened 1876), the Garden Wing, and modern additions—all refurbished to preserve character while offering contemporary comforts. Rooms and suites often feature large French windows overlooking river or courtyard gardens, gracious proportions, and décor that honors Thai traditions married with modern luxury.

Well-being and spa experiences are central to what the hotel delivers.
