Ariyasom Villa, Bangkok

All you would expect from a Peninsula property and more, the style is a blend of traditional Thai and international luxury. All rooms have breathtaking views of the Chao Phraya River and the city beyond. Richly furnished in Thai silk-clad finishes and indulgent marble bathrooms, rooms combine classic luxury with the latest high-tech amenities. Some rooms offer landscaped balconies where guests can relax and enjoy the stunning views and the river breezes or indulge in an intimate fine dining experience.

The Peninsula’s restaurants are world class and include Cantonese, Thai and international options. The dinner buffet at the River Cafe and Terrace is a culinary delight not to be missed!

One of the hotel’s most unique features has to be the services offered by the Peninsula Academy, which can arrange culinary courses such as dim sum preparation, or lifestyle experiences such as introductory classes on Buddhism.

Hotel facilities include a magnificent three-tiered swimming pool, wonderful spa, beauty salon and fitness room.
