Opened in 1876 as The Oriental with only 12 rooms, the Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok has grown into a beacon of world-class hospitality. A place where history, culture and service coalesce into something enduringly special.

Nearly 150 years on, it has hosted everyone from Grace Kelly and Marlon Brando to Elizabeth Taylor and Stanley Tucci, yet its sense of place remains profoundly Thai: gracious, warm and quietly impeccable. Its restaurants and bars tell the story of refinement, too. Le Normandie with Anne-Sophie Pic channels the spirit of French haute cuisine, while The Bamboo Bar's expertly crafted cocktails and legendary jazz nights make for exquisite evenings.
