Sala Rattanakosin

Sala Rattanakosin is a delightful contemporary boutique hotel tucked away down a small side road in a converted riverfront warehouse. Surrounded by the city’s most iconic temples, with Wat Arun directly across the river, Wat Po just behind and the Grand Palace to the side, its the ideal accommodation for travellers wanting a more authentic experience of the city.

Seventeen rooms, mostly with a spectacular view across the Chao Phraya River to Wat Arun (although a few face the small approach road), are modern with a minimalist design theme. The roof top bar and restaurant, serving mainly Asia specialities, enjoys the same view that becomes especially picturesque at night.

With its fantastic location, the Sala Rattanakosin makes for a great base from which to explore the old city on foot or on guided bicycle tours.
