Capella Bangkok, perched along the Chao Phraya River in the city’s storied Charoenkrung district, celebrates its one-year anniversary on October 1st, 2021. Home to Bangkok’s only riverside villas, private jacuzzi plunge pool-equipped suites, and Michelin-starred chef Mauro Colagreco’s first restaurant in Southeast Asia, this new-age urban resort has raised the bar for top-end hospitality in the Thai capital.
To celebrate its one-year anniversary and welcome international guests when Bangkok opens its borders to vaccinated travellers, Capella Bangkok is launching its ‘Only One’ offer. Guests who book two nights at the Best Available Rate in any room category will receive a complimentary third night to extend their stay at the riverside sanctuary. Room rates start at THB 19,500++ per night (Approximately USD 720++ per night) for a Riverfront standard room, and bookings can be made until December 31st, 2021 for stays from now until September 30th, 2022.
Capella Hotels and Resorts’ first property in Thailand carries on the hospitality group’s award-winning tradition. Capella Bangkok’s opening was one of the reasons for TIME Magazine to pick Bangkok as one of 2021’s World Greatest Places and the hotel had snagged numerous awards the past year including top positions in Condé Nast Traveler’s 2021 Hot List and the Travel + Leisure 2021 It List. It was also voted by readers of Travel + Leisure as the No. 4 Best Hotel in the World and No. 1 Best City Hotel in Bangkok in the magazine’s 2021 edition of the World’s Best Awards. Meanwhile, its culinary delights, including Riviera-inspired Côte by celebrated chef Mauro Colagreco (of three-Michelin-starred Mirazur in France) and authentic Thai riverside restaurant Phra Nakhon, have risen to the top of the Thai capital’s dining scene.
With space and privacy embedded in its DNA, this riverfront retreat is a comfortable and safe haven for travel in the ‘new normal’. The airy courtyard and riverfront terraces offer ample space for early-morning Tai Chi sessions, long al fresco lunches, and sunset drinks, while the 101 guest rooms, suites and villas are designed as cocoons of calmness to retreat to after a day around town. The Riverfront Guestrooms come fitted with spa-like bathrooms and floor-to-ceiling windows framing idyllic vignettes of life along the river, while the Verandah Suites feature spacious balconies with Jacuzzi plunge pools. The ultimate private hideaways are the resort’s Riverside Villas. The first of their kind in the city, these spacious one-bedroom abodes open to private gardens with plunge pools and lounge Salas perched right on the water’s edge.
Further relaxation can be found at the resort’s spa centre, Auriga Wellness. Flanked by tropical gardens and equipped with state-of-the-art treatment suites, a light-flooded tea lounge, and two invigorating thermal bathing areas, it’s a reposeful sanctuary where century-old Asian healing techniques and cutting-edge technologies help guests rebalance and rekindle their energy after this challenging year. Drop in for a traditional Tok Sen hammer massage, or opt for an integrated multi-day retreat with nutritionist consultations and personalised wellness menus showcasing ingredients from the resort’s organic garden.
“If this year has shown us one thing, it’s that Capella Bangkok’s key elements of space, privacy, and truly bespoke hospitality are more important than ever,” says John Blanco, General Manager of Capella Bangkok. “While it is a given that we follow the highest safety and hygiene, this year-long run-up towards sharing our hotel with the wider world has also offered us the opportunity to reflect deeper on travel in a post-pandemic landscape. Guests’ priorities have changed, and our ever-resilient team has adapted to that. Whether guests are after unique private dining experiences or wish to learn how to thoroughly ground themselves with a meditation session guided by a Buddhist monk, our Capella Culturists can make it happen.”
