Capella Bangkok | Thailand
Aurelle Curator's Verdict
Capella Bangkok is an ultra-luxe urban resort designed for discerning travelers who seek a serene, high-design sanctuary away from the city's frantic core. While those desiring a central, high-energy location might find the riverside enclave too secluded, the property is a must for culinary enthusiasts and seekers of highly personalized service. The one signature experience worth flying for is a multi-course dinner at the Michelin-starred Côte by Mauro Colagreco, which brings the flavors of the French Riviera to the banks of the Chao Phraya.
