Frommer's Review

The big, brassy Shangri-La, on the banks of the Chao Phraya, boasts acres of polished marble and a jungle of tropical plants and flowers surrounding the resort-style pool. Rooms are in two connecting wings, both with river views; the newer Krung Thep Wing has slightly smarter rooms and suites and offers butler service. All rooms have elegant teak furniture and marble bathrooms. The views are better from the higher-floor deluxe rooms; some have either a balcony or a small sitting room, making them closer to junior suites -- and a good value. The level of service and facilities is good and the stylishly contemporary Chi spa is superb. Underneath the Krung Thep Wing is the riverside swimming pool, and beyond, a large indoor-outdoor breakfast lounge. The hotel offers sunset river cruises on the Horizon, a large motor cruiser equipped with live bands and broad outdoor decks

Facilities: 6 restaurants; lounge; bar; dinner cruise; 2 outdoor pools w/outdoor Jacuzzi; 2 outdoor lit tennis courts; 2 squash courts; fitness center w/aerobics classes; spa; tour desk; car-rental desk; airport transfer; city shuttle service; business center; shopping arcade; salon; 24-hr. room service; same-day laundry service/dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive floors. .
