About the Hotel

396/1 Tatien, Maharaj Road, Phraborommaharajawang, Phanakorn, Bangkok, Thailand

Chakrabongse Villas, a 5-star private home turned hotel on the Chao Phraya River, offers matchless views of Wat Arun with its intricate mosaic decorations and iconic silhouette.

Elegant Thai Accommodations

The rooms all have king size beds, modern bathrooms with showers, and comfortable writing desks overlooking the gardens. Guests step from their rooms into an enchanting tropical garden filled with colorful orchids, while the signature suite at Chakrabongse Villas is a spacious Thai-style apartment with sweeping river views.

Riverside Thai Dining

Main dishes such as beef Mussamun curry, deep-fried soft shell crab, and river prawns are served with a view of Wat Arun. Beautifully decorated Thai dishes from the Rattanakosin era appear on tables in the riverside pavilion, blending traditional Thai and fusion food.

Garden Pool Retreat

A tropical garden with a 1950s-style freeform pool large enough for a good swim provides a welcome respite from the busy city. The hotel organizes two-hour boat trips on the Chao Phraya and its branching canals, with private champagne cruises followed by romantic dinners.

Historic Bangkok Location

Chakrabongse Villas is only 5 minutes' walk from Sanam Chai and 1 km from the Grand Palace and Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Guests can board transport to Saphan Taksin Skytrain station for quick access to downtown Bangkok.

Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight. The rooms were cosy and comfortable, and the service was incredibly hospitable. The location was simply amazing, with all the main attractions within a quick walk. However, the dining options were somewhat limited, and the facilities could use a bit of improvement.

I walked into my room around 8 in the morning on a serene Sunday and was greeted by fresh orchids, making the atmosphere very comfortable. The hotel is situated in a historic place linked to the royal Thai family, which adds a unique charm to the experience of exploring old Bangkok and temples. The service here is exceptional and the location is simply amazing, right next to the MRT, museum, Wat Pho, and the river. The dining experience offers a fantastic restaurant with a river view but might be a bit small. Overall, a great stay with beautiful surroundings and attentive service.

Staying at Chakrabongse Villas was a delightful experience. The rooms were a perfect blend of spacious comfort and thoughtful decor, making it feel more like a private villa than a hotel. The terrace offered stunning views of Wat Arun and the river, although it wasn't the most modern.

I cannot rave enough about my stay at Chakrabongse Villas! The room was absolutely stunning, with its own entrance on an upper level, tastefully furnished all in teakwood. The spacious bathroom and the enormous terrace with a daybed, sun loungers, and dining area were just exceptional. However, the room seemed a bit battered and ramshackle, which was a bit of a letdown. The location on the Riverview Suite was perfect for soaking in the views.

The room was off the charts - large and beautiful, complete with a spacious bathroom and a very large terrace with all the amenities.

The service was out of this world! Despite a hiccup with the airport pick-up, the staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was memorable. The outstanding food at the restaurant was simply impeccable - a must-visit if you're in Bangkok. Special shoutout to the staff member who was incredibly helpful, providing valuable advice and organizing activities.

The location couldn't be more central for exploring iconic spots like Wat Po and the Grand Palace. Being on the banks of the Chao Phraya River and surrounded by vibrant shops, restaurants, and temples made my stay incredibly immersive.

Dining with a view overlooking the river and Wat Rakangkositaram was a delightful experience. Starting each day with a breakfast order on my private veranda and booking a dinner on the riverside terrace were highlights of my stay.
