Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok

The Mandarin Oriental spans across multiple wings along the riverbank, featuring 393 rooms, eight restaurants, and traditional Thai architectural elements throughout the property.

Established in 1876 as The Oriental, this hotel holds the distinction of being Thailand's first hotel and served as a Japanese Army base during World War II.

The Authors' Wing contains suites named after literary figures like Joseph Conrad and Somerset Maugham who frequently stayed at the hotel during their travels.

The hotel provides direct river access with boat services to Bangkok attractions, while offering modern amenities including wellness centers and spa facilities.

Photographer Germaine Krull managed the hotel in 1947, implementing new hospitality standards that helped restore the property after wartime occupation.
