Jetsetter "Part of Bangkok’s charm is the fact that it overwhelms. But along the Chao Phraya River, life decelerates. Tap into that spirit at the 408-room Anantara Bangkok Riverside Resort & Spa,..." Full review

Stroll the grounds, which are full of open-air corridors (lit by torches in the evening) and covered bridges beneath canopies of flowers.
Lonely Planet "Located south of the city on the banks of Mae Nam Chao Phraya, ‘resort’ is in this case at least an accurate moniker for this expansive, relax-oriented hotel."
DK Eyewitness "A true resort in more than name, with great tropical gardens perfect for relaxing after a day spent sightseeing."
Star Service "Downriver from the upscale Shangri-La and Peninsula hotels, this hearty hotel attracts business and leisure travelers with its comprehensive facilities, resortlike atmosphere and great rates." Full review

The hotel has a pleasant social resort hum to it, nicely suited for families; the Millennium Hilton just up the river might appeal more to the hip crowd, but anyone who wants to avoid the hassle of crossing the river will look to Silom or Sukhumvit roads.

"A luxury resort perched along the river outside central Bangkok, and a free, 20-minute ferry ride from the capital's bustling downtown." Full review
Afar Magazine "The Anantara Riverside’s immense grounds of tropical gardens make it feel a bit like a resort escape, even though it’s a hotel in the middle of one of the world’s most nonstop cities." Full review
Fodor's "This is more a resort than a hotel, with many restaurants and a small mall connected." Full review
i
There are a wide range of room types, but standard fare has hardwood floors, Thai alphabet designs on the walls, and epic views of the river (if you ask for this).

Concierge "The Metropolitan... strives to be the epitome of modernism, with its Mies van der Rohe–style façade and staff dressed in black and white Comme des Garçons uniforms."
Rough Guide "The height of chic, minimalist urban living, where the rooms are stylishly decorated in dark wood, creamy Portuguese limestone and lotus-themed contemporary artworks."
Time Out "Owner Christina Ong forged a sleek, oriental look from the former YMCA, birthing a sister hotel to London's pioneering minimalist icon." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Housed inside a former YMCA building, the Metropolitan Bangkok has a refreshingly hip aesthetic." Full review

"The Metropolitan by COMO Bangkok is a luxury property that blends the intimacy of a boutique hotel with the amenities and services of a large-scale resort." Full review
Star Service "This design-conscious high-rise is across the road from one of its closest competitors, the equally style-conscious Banyan Tree." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Talk about making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. Who else but Christina Ong could have turned a former YMCA into what is hands-down Bangkok’s hottest hotel?" Full review
Jetsetter "Stylish sleep in Bangkok’s business district with minimalist interiors, a sultry members-only bar and a yoga studio." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "Refined and minimal, sparse but not bare, the Como Metropolitan Bangkok hotel is an exclusive boutique with a sophisticated Thai restaurant and dimly lit bar." Full review
Gayot "These luxurious business and leisure accommodations showcase a modern Asian aesthetic."
