Grand Royal Suite MANDARIN ORIENTAL

Last year, after completing an extensive renovation of the Authors’ Wing, Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok, created the fabulous Grand Royal Suite. It spans the entire first floor and encompasses the Royal Suite, Ambassador Suite and three guest bedrooms. In addition to the Royal Suite’s formal living room, there is another lounge, dining for 12, a study and a full kitchen and bar, all lavishly decorated in homage to The Oriental Hotel, the original property built in 1876. Thai silks, antiques and original art fill the suite and its 11.5ft-high ceilings, all decorated with great detail. A beautiful highlight is the Victorian-inspired glass conservatory. The suite’s open balcony offers views of the property’s tropical gardens and the Chao Phraya River.
