Virgin Holidays View
A grand riverfront hotel, which has been a Condé Nast Traveler Gold List winner for the last five years. The place to be in Bangkok is by the river, with the riverside breeze on a very hot day coming as a welcome relief. This is a convenient start-off point to see many of Bangkok's famous landmarks. An adjoining city pier offers complimentary shuttle boat rides to the nearest SkyTrain station which provides easy access to the rest of the city. Combining tradition with an international ambiance, you will find excellent Thai hospitality and some wonderful views of the city's skyline and the river Chao Phraya. All rooms have a river view where you can watch the multitude of working vessels during the day and boats all lit up at night. Enjoy a good range of leisure facilities including a lovely freeform pool and Jacuzzi in recently upgraded riverside gardens, a second lap pool, children’s pool, tennis court and an impressive spa. There is also a fitness centre with aerobics and Thai boxing classes. The hotel offers an array of cuisines in their four restaurants.
