It is always a true pleasure to return to the Sheraton Royal Orchid Riverside Hotel in Bangkok. Every stay reminds me why this property remains one of my absolute favourites.
For me, this hotel enjoys the finest location in Bangkok. Although it is perfectly situated in the heart of the city, it offers a remarkably peaceful atmosphere on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. The beautiful tropical gardens and magnificent swimming pool make you forget that you are in one of the world’s busiest and most vibrant capitals.
The unique hotel having 2 outdoor pools
One of the hotel’s most unique features is its visionary architecture. When it was designed in the 1980s, the architect had the brilliant idea of orienting every guest room towards the river, allowing each room to enjoy a truly spectacular view. This design that still feels exceptional today.
Another reason I continue to choose this hotel year after year is the outstanding professionalism of every member of the team. The staff are genuinely kind, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure every guest feels welcomed and cared for.
This year, I had the pleasure of meeting the new General Manager, Mr. Kristian Petersen. He is an exceptional leader who personally takes the time to meet guests, making sure they are comfortable and enjoying their stay. His genuine warmth, accessibility, and attention to detail are truly remarkable.
It is easy to understand why every department delivers such an exceptional level of service: Mr. Petersen leads by example. His passion for hospitality and his sincere care for guests inspire his entire team to provide outstanding service every single day.
I would also like to congratulate the housekeeping team for their exceptional work. The guest rooms are maintained to the highest standards, and the cleanliness throughout the entire hotel is simply impeccable.
For anyone planning a stay, I highly recommend booking an Executive Suite. They are wonderfully spacious, beautifully appointed, extremely comfortable, and include access to the Executive Lounge.
The suites located on the higher floors offer truly breathtaking views, both during the day and after nightfall. It is always with great pleasure that I find myself lingering a little longer in my suite, simply taking the time to admire this truly spectacular panorama.
As someone who travels extensively around the world, I can honestly say that the Executive Lounge at the Sheraton Royal Orchid ranks among the very best I have experienced. The breakfast selection is excellent, while the evening Happy Hour offers an outstanding variety of delicious dishes and premium beverages, all beautifully prepared and presented by the talented culinary team.
I also had the pleasure of meeting the Executive Chef, Mr. Marco Cammarata
His extensive experience is immediately evident, but what impressed me even more was his genuine dedication to his guests. He regularly visits the restaurants to ensure everyone is enjoying their dining experience and is always happy to ask whether he can prepare something special. His passion for excellence is reflected in every meal.
I strongly recommend dining at Giorgio Restaurant , where authentic Italian cuisine is prepared using high-quality ingredients imported directly from Italy.
Every dish is beautifully crafted and absolutely delicious. The Thai restaurant is equally outstanding and offers an authentic culinary experience that should not be missed.
Finally, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who made my stay so memorable. Every member of the team looked after us with extraordinary kindness and professionalism, making us feel genuinely valued throughout our visit.
