For more than 135 years, the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok proudly stands on the river side of the Chao Phraya in Thailand. Since its inauguration in 1876, the Oriental Hotel is considered as one of the most beautiful hotel in the world. Preferred address of the artists and celebrities, it used to greet celebrities such as Barbara Cartland, Neil Armstrong, Lauren Bacall, George H.W Bush, Jacques Chirac, Audrey Hepburn, Mick Jagger, the Queen Sofia of Spain, Lady Diana and Prince Charles or Elisabeth Taylor.

In 2008, the hotel was renamed as Mandarin Oriental, the iconic hotels group it belongs to. Symbol of absolute refinement, the Mandarin also shines for the excellence of the service it offers to its hosts. Between modernity and tradition, the Art de Recevoir takes its full significance here. The palace appears to be a haven of peace in the vibrant and fascinating Bangkok.
