Rising gracefully above tree-lined Wireless Road, The Athenee Hotel occupies a site of profound historical significance - once the royal residence of Princess Valaya Alongkorn, daughter of King Rama V. Today, this Forbes-recommended five-star property seamlessly blends regal Thai heritage with contemporary sophistication, offering travelers a luxurious sanctuary in the diplomatic and shopping heart of Bangkok.
With interiors inspired by four design themes - Siamese, Colonial, Thai, and Contemporary - each room and suite whispers stories of the past, yet welcomes the modern traveler with indulgent comfort. Whether you're a couple drawn to timeless elegance, a business traveler seeking peace and privacy in the city, or a family looking to experience Thai culture in refined surroundings, The Athenee is thoughtfully tailored to your journey.
Culinary discovery is at the heart of The Athenee experience. The Allium Bangkok offers French cuisine with a modern twist, while The House of Smooth Curry is a quiet celebration of royal Thai recipes passed down for generations. For worldly palates, the hotel’s Japanese, Cantonese, and all-day dining options create a vibrant journey through Asia’s finest flavors.
Guests can unwind at Athenee Spa, where therapies are inspired by the ancient healing practices of Thai royalty. From organic signature massages to the award-winning Himmapan Signature Ritual, every treatment is steeped in wellness tradition. The lush tropical lagoon-style pool and 24-hour fitness center complete a holistic wellness experience amidst the city’s energy.
Just steps from embassies, shopping icons like Central Embassy, and the BTS Skytrain, The Athenee Hotel is a majestic base for discovering Bangkok. But within its walls, you’ll feel part of a more timeless story - one of elegance, honor, and deep-rooted Thai spirit.
