The corner room to ask for
I would ask for a Premier Room: one of the corner rooms, 50 m² with views of the Bangkok skyline, contemporary Thai art and books, and a bath apart from the rain shower.
The week that costs less
From 26 November to 2 December 2026 single nights ranged from THB 13,042 to THB 13,442 for 2 adults on Google, read on 16 October 2026. The dearest night shown, 31 December 2026, was THB 41,386.
Charges, pets and extra guests
The hotel’s rates are subject to 7% VAT and a 10% service charge. One pet up to 10 kg costs THB 2,500 plus those charges, for up to 7 nights; anyone 13 or over pays THB 2,000 a night, extra bed included.
Lennon’s, night by night
The bar on the 30th floor, open from 5pm, gives each night its music: oldies on Thursday, jazz on Friday, pop on Saturday, and guitar and saxophone sessions on Sunday.
What Rosewood Bangkok is
The tower opened on 31 March 2019 and rises 30 storeys; by the hotel’s fact sheet its angular silhouette is drawn from the wai, the joined hands of the Thai greeting. Inside, every floor has its use: the Pavilion on the 5th, the spa on the 6th, Lakorn on the 7th, the pool, the gym and G&O on the 9th, Nan Bei on the 19th and Lennon’s on the 30th.
The 16 categories run from the 42 m² Deluxe to the 3 houses with plunge pools on their terraces; Bannakarn House, 291 m², takes the whole 29th floor. Guests praise the design, the beds and the view; some write of the noise from the road, on high floors too. MICHELIN gives the hotel 2 Keys and Forbes Travel Guide 4 stars for 2026.
The evenings are its strongest suit: Lennon’s, a speakeasy with over 6,000 records, is No. 7 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2026, and Nan Bei on the 19th floor cooks from Canton, Sichuan and Hunan. The pool is a 20-metre lane between glass and planting, made for lengths.

The 5 things that matter, as guests tell them
What do Rosewood Bangkok’s guests say? They write it in their reviews, even those who only came for a drink or dinner: we read every one and tell the 5 things that matter, from the location to the bill.
Location
9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. A covered bridge runs from Ploenchit BTS station to the hotel and on to malls such as Central Embassy; guests who arrive by car or taxi describe the traffic on Ploenchit Road, and some hear the street from their room, high floors included.
Room
8 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Guests write of comfortable beds, the light through the tall windows and the view of the towers; the less happy had a Deluxe hard against the building next door, or a room within earshot of the road.
Staff and service
8 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Doormen and staff who greet guests by name recur, with the massages at the 6th-floor spa and the bartenders at Lennon’s; the pool is liked, though more than one guest finds it compact and short of loungers, and the gym small.
Breakfast
8 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Breakfast at Lakorn pairs a buffet with dishes from the menu brought to the table, in a room guests find beautiful; the less happy find the dishes bland or the service muddled.
Price
5 in 10 guests who mention the price find it fair. Those who write well of it find the price in line with the quality; those who do not find it high for what they get, and more than one describes an extra deposit asked for at check-in.
The numbers, and how we count them
| What | Score out of 10 | Guests who mention it | Happy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location | 7.8 | 208 | 86% |
| Room | 7.5 | 203 | 82% |
| Staff and service | 7.9 | 378 | 79% |
| Breakfast | 7.3 | 109 | 75% |
| Price | – | 55 | 51% |
The scores come from 500 Google reviews with text, left from 6 June 2021 to 12 October 2026. The other hotels are the ones weighed for a stay in Bangkok: for each we read its latest 500 Google reviews with text, or all of them where there are fewer, as of 16 October 2026. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.
The hotels we weigh it against in Bangkok:
- Park Hyatt Bangkok
- The Okura Prestige Bangkok
- Aman Nai Lert Bangkok
- Waldorf Astoria Bangkok
Price: for two on the night of 6 March 2027, from 10,960 THB (seen on Google Hotels on 16 October 2026).

Road noise from Ploenchit Road comes up in Google reviews from 2022 to 2026, on low floors and high ones: in September 2026, 2 guests, one of them on the 27th floor, write that they could hear the street at night or the sirens far below.
Lennon’s admits only guests aged 20 and over, under Thailand’s alcohol law, and asks for smart casual dress with closed shoes.
One pet up to 10 kg is welcome for THB 2,500 plus service and VAT, for up to 7 nights; it stays out of the restaurants, bar and pool and moves about on a lead or in a carrier (hotel policy).
The whole hotel is non-smoking: the policy charges THB 20,000 a day in a room and THB 40,000 in a suite, and may ask the guest to leave without a refund.

In September 2026 a guest calls the bathroom the best of the stay: a deep tub set against floor-to-ceiling glass, with the towers of Bangkok outside. The same guest finds the outdoor pool area small and busy at peak hours.
