Praya Palazzo, Bangkok
Compare prices
Housed in a beautifully restored 19th-century riverside mansion on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, Praya Palazzo offers a rare blend of historic character and boutique hotel comfort in Bangkok. The property sits away from the city's main tourist corridors, giving it a genuinely quiet, unhurried atmosphere that sets it apart from larger hotel options in the capital. Guests arrive by private boat shuttle, which adds to the sense of arrival and seclusion. The hotel features an outdoor pool, a riverside bar, and an on-site restaurant that holds a Michelin Star — making it a destination in its own right even for non-guests. Reviewers consistently praise the warmth and attentiveness of the staff, and the food has drawn strong acclaim for special occasion dining. Free breakfast is included with stays, and the overall atmosphere leans toward romance and relaxation rather than a busy, amenity-heavy resort experience. Praya Palazzo suits couples, travellers seeking a peaceful retreat, and those who want easy access to the old town neighbourhoods of Banglamphu and Tha Phra Athit without staying in the thick of them. As a boutique property with a limited number of rooms, advance booking is strongly recommended, particularly for weekend stays or if dining at the restaurant is a priority.

This Hotel is an absolute wonder! Me and my husband had such a beautiful time here and we loved every single moment! We not only stayed but also tried the food at their restaurant and it was an amazing experience ✨ I don’t remember the last time I ate such a delicious food! The staff were very friendly and welcoming! We had all the time to enjoy the beauty of this Hotel and for sure will be back next time we are in Bangkok! Thank you✨
By any standard, a great restaurant. More than deserves its Michelin Star. A special treat for special occasions. Can't speak to the accommodations, as we only ate here.
I stayed one night at Praya Palazzo, on a Friday evening, simply because I was working around Tha Phra Athit and didn’t feel like fighting Bangkok traffic to go home. I wanted a quiet night by the Chao Phraya River—and this place appeared beautifully on my search. The hotel is charming, historic, and well-located near Tha Phra Athit, yet noticeably more reasonably priced than many other riverside hotels. I booked it without knowing much about its background, and that turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. A small practical note: arriving by boat is the most convenient, as the hotel has its own pier. If you come by car, parking is limited and located near Bang Yi Khan Police Station, with space for only a few cars. Planning ahead is recommended. The room itself is not large, but comfortable, calm, and full of character. What truly stood out for me was the service—warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. The hospitality here feels personal, not scripted. The Thai food at the hotel is excellent, and the Rom Pho Room on the second floor is absolutely beautiful—elegant, serene, and rich in atmosphere. Every corner of this property is photogenic; the architecture and light make it a dream for anyone who appreciates heritage spaces. Even if you’re not staying overnight, the hotel is well worth visiting for a meal or simply to experience the ambiance. Only later did I learn about the history of this place—once known as Ban Bang Yi Khan, a riverside residence filled with stories of love, family, and refined Thai living, now gracefully reborn as Praya Palazzo. That knowledge made my stay feel even more meaningful. The hotel has also been listed in the Michelin Guide 2026, which comes as no surprise. I am Thai, and I have lived in Bangkok all my life—yet I was genuinely impressed. Praya Palazzo offers something rare: a quiet, soulful escape that allows you to experience the old spirit of Bangkok, right on the timeless Chao Phraya River. Highly recommended for travelers who appreciate history, elegance, and sincere hospitality.
