Book A Luxurious Holiday at Amari Bangkok Hotel
Amari Hotels & Resorts is a Thai accommodation brand with properties throughout Thailand and beyond, from scenic seaside locations to vibrant urban settings.
I’ve had the opportunity to visit luxurious Amari properties throughout Thailand in Krabi, Koh Samui, and Phuket.
The Amari Watergate Bangkok Hotel first opened its doors in 1994 as an impressive 34 story tower. It was recently rebranded as Amari Bangkok in 2023.
The hotel is situated in the bustling heart of Bangkok’s Pratunam neighbourhood, offering guests an authentic city vibe. Nearby attractions within a 10-15 minute walk include the Erawan Shrine, CentralWorld, and Pratunam Market.
The popular luxury hotel in downtown Bangkok was recently renovated in 2022. The newly refreshed interior design offers a harmonious blend of contemporary elegance and Thai traditions.
Amari Bangkok is best known as a leading meetings, events and conference hotel, the perfect property to host a banquet or wedding ceremony.
Upon entering the hotel, guests are welcomed by a sleek triple volume atrium lobby awash with warm earth tones. At its heart, streams of light cascade from an impressive hanging sculpture composed of 847 pieces of individually handcrafted Murano glass. Titled ‘Water of Life’, this art installation is reminiscent of falling rain, a nod to the hotel’s location at the confluence of Bangkok’s most famous canal, symbolizing Thailand’s intricate relationship with water, both in daily life and festivities.
