By the River
Riva Surya Bangkok
Riva Surya Bangkok is one of the few hotels in this 4-star roundup that’s genuinely on the Chao Phraya without the price tag of a 5-star resort: a private balcony overlooking passing boats, a pool with a water view, and stylish rooms with warm Thai accents. The nearby river boat puts you close to the historic district’s temples and markets, so the hotel manages to be both peaceful and well connected. For anyone in the 4-star bracket who has a river location high on their list, this is the best price-to-location combination here.

PASSA Hotel Bangkok
The PASSA Hotel is a relatively new player in the heart of Silom and has proven itself in a short time as one of the most stylish boutique options in the district. This hotel is a relief for travelers who prefer an intimate, modern atmosphere over the massive luxury of the major hotel chains. The design is minimalist with a lot of use of natural materials and warm wood, which immediately creates a feeling of calm once you leave the hustle and bustle of the street behind.
The rooms are clever and efficiently furnished, with the large windows providing a beautiful light and a wide view over the skyline of Silom and Sathorn. You notice from everything that attention has been paid to the details, from the quality beds to the modern bathrooms. It is the ideal place for those who want to explore the city during the day and come back in the evening in a serene environment.
The location is one of the biggest advantages of this hotel. Although it is located in a quieter side street, you are within a few minutes walk of the busy intersection at BTS station Sala Daeng or the MRT station Silom. So you are in the middle of the culinary epicenter of the neighbourhood, with countless coffee shops and restaurants around the corner. Despite its central location, the hotel with its compact saltwater pool on the roof offers a wonderful place to escape the heat of Bangkok.
Check current prices and availabilityMode Sathorn Hotel
The Mode Sathorn Hotel is one of the most striking appearances in the district and profiles itself as a truly “lifestyle” hotel. As soon as you step into the lobby, you will notice that this hotel is breaking with traditional hotel décor.

It is the ideal place for travelers who love a trendy, cosmopolitan atmosphere and who like to stay in a hotel that is itself already a landmark.

However, what they all have in common is the spectacular view through the large windows and the luxurious bathrooms that are often equipped with a freestanding bath right at the window. It is a hotel that perfectly matches the dynamics of the surrounding business district, but with a stubborn and playful twist that appeals to both young professionals and holidaymakers.
One of the absolute highlights of the hotel is the swimming pool on the eleventh floor, where you can look out over the impressive Sathorn skyline from the water. For those who want to end the evening in style, the rooftop bar on the 38th floor offers a beautiful 360-degree view of the city and the Chao Phraya River. In addition, the hotel enjoys an unbeatable location right next to Surasak BTS Station, easy to get to the river or the Siam shopping centres within minutes without bothering you with the infamous Bangkok traffic.
