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).
The Telegraph8.0

Which room to book: The least expensive Deluxe rooms are a good value, especially if you request one with a balcony.
Condé Nast Traveler "This contemporary high-rise skillfully evokes an authentic sense of Thailand." Full review

"The Siam Kempinski is one of Bangkok's most opulent hotels. It's a five pearl property located smack in the city center, behind the Siam Paragon luxury mall." Full review
Fodor's "The palatial Siam Kempinski combines sheer elegance with the feel of an escapist resort in the middle of the city." Full review
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars
"Despite the throngs of shoppers who flood the adjoining mega mall and the frenetic neighborhood, the hotel manages to carve out a secret peaceful oasis." Full review
The Telegraph9.0
"A big glossy city-centre hotel with some resort-style flourishes, including sprawling swimming pool and gardens, and an excellent spa and gym." Full review
Independent "Attached via an air-conditioned walkway to the swanky Siam Paragon Mall which, in turn, is attached to CentralWorld and a dozen other gigantic retail centres, the Siam Kempinski could not be a better place for busting your baggage allowance"
