  • I visit Bangkok twice a year since the last 15 years. I have stayed at all of the 5 star hotels on the river, and the Marriott Shagri-La is NOT a 5 star hotel. I would not give it more then 4 stars.
    The pool is very small, and since the hotel is kid friendly, its packed with kids.
    The rooms are very overpriced for the size and quality. If you want to get your monies worth of a 5 star, stay at the Peninsula or the Oriental. I enjoy staying on the river, it seems a little cooler then downtown Bangkok. The day spa has a great service, but the prices are outrageous. Body scrub and facial $240, good price for the states, but Thailand? If your going to pay this price, go to the spa at the Oriental

    Unique Qualities: The staff and house keeping is great! Trader Vics is always great!
