Bangkok is the perfect holiday for families: a bustling metropolis where ancient meets modern, days can be spent traversing busy streets, visiting temples, haggling at markets, relaxing at a rooftop bar, or splashing in the pool at a hotel that feels like home.
Read on for the best family hotels in Bangkok.
Pullman Bangkok Hotel G
Above the vibrant streets of Bangkok sits the Pullman Bangkok Hotel G. Close to the buzzing nightlife of Silom Road, Patpong Night Market and Lumphini Park, families can revel in getting the best of their Bangkok experience when staying here. For gravity-defying, 360-degree views of the city, the Mahanakhon Skywalk is a five-minute walk away.
The Executive Club Lounge (accessible with certain room types and packages) welcomes families, where you can enjoy sky-high luxury together with complimentary breakfast, afternoon tea, drinks and canapés. Looking over Bangkok city, there is no better place to enjoy the view.
Banyan Tree Bangkok
Also in the Silom area is Banyan Tree Bangkok, the perfect base to discover the city’s bright lights, world-class shopping and diverse culture with ease. The jewel in the hotel’s crown is the 61st-floor Moon Bar, one of Bangkok’s – and the world’s – best rooftop bars.
The hotel is a short drive from some of Bangkok’s most popular sights the whole family will love, including the crimson Buddhist temple Wat Pathum Wanaram, Lumphini Park and Pratunam Market. There are more than 10 restaurants and bars onsite, with a juice station beside the 21st-floor pool, perfect for kids to refresh between dips. Create memories aboard the Apsara dinner cruise (a vintage rice barge on the Chao Phraya River), indulge in happy hour at the Club Lounge, or slip away for some me-time at Banyan Tree Spa with its signature rain mist experience.
Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok
Tucked behind the world-famous Siam Paragon shopping centre and just moments from a BTS Skytrain station, this resort-style, five-star oasis redefines luxury with sweeping tropical gardens and free-form saltwater pools in the centre of it all — kids will never be bored here.
The Premier Family Room (two connecting Premier Rooms), is ideal for extra space and comfort. Enjoy the spa or dine at one of five restaurants and bars celebrating traditional Thai cuisine or global flavours while the kids enjoy Kempinski Kids’ Club. It’s perfect for little ones and teens alike, with cooking, crafting and creating for the younger kids, and sports tournaments, cinema nights and video games for teens.
Royal Orchid Sheraton Riverside Hotel Bangkok
In the heart of the city on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, this hotel invites you to enjoy Bangkok in style, lounging by the oasis-inspired pool, sipping cocktails and basking in Sheraton’s world-famous signature luxury. The gold-and-teak lobby with its Emerald Buddha statue and tinkling Thai music sets the tone for a stay that combines local authenticity with five-star service.
Four restaurants and bars include Thara Thong, crafted from hand-carved teakwood and showcasing Thai dance performances during dinner, and the waterfront Feast, with its signature weekend seafood buffet. Overlooking the river and shrouded in tropical greenery, the garden pool feels like its not in a city at all, as does the spa with its plunge pool.
Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 20
Modern comfort and convenience awaits at the centrally located Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 20. Perfectly positioned in the heart of Bangkok’s most vibrant district, this stylish hotel offers easy access to the city’s bustling shopping precincts, including the high-end EmQuartier and Terminal 21.
The Family Suite is perfectly configured for families with a lounge area and sofa bed in addition to a king bed. The kids’ club is a masterclass in entertainment with a selection of games and activities including books, colouring games and Xboxes. There’s a 9th-floor, beach-club-style pool and a separate children’s pool, meaning kids and adults alike can unwind. Boasting five restaurants and bars, including the rooftop bar Sky On 20 with skyline views, DJ sets and refreshing cocktails, Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 20 makes sure every family member is taken care of.
Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park
Feed off the energy of buzzing downtown Bangkok at Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park, just a leisurely walk from several family-friendly activities. Benchasiri Park (a local favourite, featuring a serene lake, sculpture park, and a large sprawling playground) connects directly to the hotel.
Float in one of two tropical pools or forget all of your worries at the luxury Quan Spa, while younger family members have a blast at the kids’ club, complete with its own children’s pool. Take in breathtaking views of the Bangkok skyline, from both your room and the 37th-floor Abar Rooftop, and be spoilt for choice with seven bars and restaurants serving curated cuisine including Chinese, Thai, Korean and fusion dishes.
Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort
An oasis within the city is waiting at Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort. Surrounded by 11 acres of palm tree-fringed tropical gardens, swimming pools and jacuzzis on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, it’s notably calmer than other downtown hotels, yet still in the heart of it all with sweeping skyline views.
Your family’s days can be packed with tennis, Tai Chi, yoga, world-class dining and more. Wake to a breakfast overlooking the river before stepping onto the resort’s complimentary shuttle boat taking you into the heart of Bangkok. Indulge at Anantara Spa while little ones enjoy endless hours of fun at the Chang Noi Kids’ Club.
Make use of the resort’s babysitting service and embark on a romantic Manohra Cruise, with the chance to savour Thai favourites while floating down the River of Kings on a wooden barge.
Villa de Khaosan
Fun for the whole family, the lively Villa de Khaosan resort has it all. Step into the rooftop pool and take in panoramic views of downtown Bangkok and the stunning Grand Palace, or lounge next to the water at the Sky Pool Bar, where you can taste a tropical cocktail or two while the sun sets over the city.
While the hotel takes inspiration from the 16th century Siam Kingdom, the rooms are modern and fitted with everything your family needs for a comfortable stay. Considering the buzzing Khaosan Road is a five-minute walk away, the resort is surprisingly peaceful.
Staying in for dinner? The opulently decorated Millionaire Club & Bistro serves up fresh Thai and European flavours. The friendly staff can arrange kids’ activities, so they’ll never have a dull moment.
