Condé Nast Traveler86.3
"Le Méridien’s recent efforts to integrate culture into its urban hotels proved worthwhile at this tower in Bangkok’s Silom neighborhood." Full review

Be sure to check out Bamboo Chic, the stark floor-lit lounge serving noodles and sushi.
Time Out "Every space feels huge, but the rooms are a bit neutral; not so the sculpted steel-benched lobby, the sixth floor SPA centre (with round rooms for couples) or the spectacular Bamboo Chic bar." Full review
Star Service "Suave, stylish and contemporary accurately describe the rooms here. Each of the property's 282 units feature city views." Full review
Oyster Luxury
"The Le Meridien Bangkok goes for unique design and decor, from the stylish, large tinted glass windows in the lobby, to the rooms which feature floor-to-ceiling windows." Full review

"The very classy Le Meridien is a giant edifice of French chic." Full review
Michelin Guide "With just shy of three hundred rooms, it’s no boutique either. This allows for a wide range of accommodation styles, from the simple and chic Vista rooms to the oddball Circular rooms" Full review

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
i
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.
Oyster Kid-Friendly
"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).
The Telegraph8.0
"Sits on the banks of the Chao Praya...and offers 396 elegant, contemporary style rooms with balconies arranged around a decent-sized pool, great amenities and a plethora of eating options.

Frommer's "Staying at this riverside resort with its holiday mood and big pool feels like being at the beach, and it's a great place for families" Full review
