The Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel and Towers is a polished business hotel in Bangkok. Overlooking the Chao Phraya River, it boasts one of the best addresses in the city. It has myriad amenities for both business and leisure guests, and is within walking distance to River City, Bangkok's largest, antiquated shopping district, as well as the Grand Palace and Temple of the Emerald Buddha.

The facilities

Plentiful and top-notch. Corporate travellers have access to over twenty function and meeting spaces, all fully-equipped with sound and lighting systems. There's a lovely spa on site (a welcome respite from this bustling city) that offers a variety of treatments from industry professionals. There are also two outdoor pools and a fitness centre.

The restaurants serve a range of cuisines from traditional Thai to refined Italian and fresh seafood. The two bars are something of a hotspot in the city, the place to head for expertly mixed cocktails and carefully selected wines.

The rooms

Each of the guestrooms at the Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel and Towers is luxuriously, if uniformly, appointed. All have Sheraton Sweet Sleeper beds, flat screen televisions, high-speed internet access and walk-in wardrobes with private safes.
