Hôtels de luxe en Thailand

Grande Centre Point Prestige Bangkok occupies a glass tower on Ratchadamri, facing Lumpini Park.

Two pools on the 8th floor, 600 m² spa, gym open 24/7. Service is discreet, efficient, designed for long stays (a week or more). 178 € the night for 80 m², it's the best space/price ratio in the business district.

V Villas Phuket occupies a private enclave on the east coast of the island, where fishing boats replace jet-skis. We count only twenty villas, each with private infinity pool, Burmese teak terrace, personal butler. The interiors blend dark wood, white linen, Sukhothai stone bathrooms, rooms from 120 to 280 m² depending on the category. The Cinq Mondes spa offers six cabins facing the bay, the Villazzo restaurant serves honest Thai-Mediterranean cuisine without starred pretension. Ao Yon beach remains confidential, calm water, grey sand, perfect for children. From 854 € the night, we pay for tranquillity and tailor-made service, not the flashy decor ✨

The Cyan at Patong Hotel occupies three adjoining buildings facing the Andaman Sea, right on the water. We slept in a third-floor room, full-west bay window, blue-green terrazzo tiling, king-size bed facing the horizon. The service is attentive without being intrusive, the team speaks fluent English and anticipates requests. Patong beach remains noisy during the day (jet-skis, street vendors), yet the hotel offers relative calm the moment you cross the threshold. From 202 € a night, it is one of the best seafront addresses for those seeking human scale. The Booking score of 9,6/10 from 22 reviews reflects consistent service and impeccable cleanliness. Airport shuttle included, handy when arriving from Phuket International, 45 minutes away ✨

The Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok occupies a green oasis between Siam Paragon and Central World, two of Asia's largest malls.

The rooms overlook the gardens or the pool, dark wood, Jim Thompson silk, marble bathrooms with separate bathtub. The spa occupies an independent pavilion at the back of the park, traditional Thai massages in cabins open to the canopy. Three restaurants including Sra Bua by Kiin Kiin (Michelin-starred), molecular Thai cuisine that divides but impresses. From 285 € per night, a palace rate justified by the space and location. We recommend it for those who want Thai luxury without leaving the shopping centre ✨

The Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit has held the corner of Sukhumvit Road since 1996, a 32-storey tower in smoked glass and grey granite. We stay in 420 rooms in cream tones and dark wood, floor-to-ceiling windows, views over the urban canopy or the glass towers of Asok. The pool on the 3rd floor remains an unexpected refuge, surrounded by palms and teak sun loungers, open until 10pm. The Mandara spa occupies 1,200 m² on the 2nd, cabins in volcanic stone, traditional Thai and Ayurvedic treatments.

Dusit Thani Bangkok occupies the crossroads of Rama IV and Silom since 1970, first Thai palace built after independence. We sleep in a period witness, classic rooms with teak parquet and beige marble bathrooms, some tired but impeccably kept. The pool on the top floor remains the highlight, clear view over the Sathorn skyscrapers and the river in the distance. The spa offers traditional Thai massages in carved wood cabins, hushed atmosphere far from the Silom tumult. From 307 € per night, rate justified by the historic address and impeccable service, old-school training. The restaurants serve classic Thai cuisine and a decent international buffet without being memorable. We book for the history and nostalgia, not for contemporary design.

The Eastin Grand Hotel Phayathai occupies a glass and steel tower at the Ratchathewi crossroads, a stone's throw from the railway station that heads straight to Suvarnabhumi airport.

Two rooftop pools (one for children), 800 m² spa with traditional Thai cabins, 24/7 gym. Service is efficient, never obsequious, Wi-Fi holds up throughout the hotel.

The Okura spa spans two levels with infinity pool, volcanic stone onsen, massage cabins open to the sky. The clientele mixes Japanese executives, couples on long layovers, travellers fleeing Sukhumvit’s bustle.

137 Pillars Residences Bangkok occupies a contemporary tower in Sukhumvit 39, a stone's throw from the Emporium. We stay in apartments (studios to three-bedrooms), not classic hotel rooms: Miele kitchen, washing machine, balcony overlooking the neighbourhood canopy. Service remains hotel-like (concierge, room service, daily housekeeping), the rooftop pool offers unobstructed views over the Thonglor skyline. The address appeals to families and long stays, less to travellers seeking the traditional palace. The 400 m² spa offers classic Thai treatments, nothing revolutionary. From 151 € per night for a studio, the space/price ratio remains unbeatable in this Bangkok category ✨

Chalong Marina Bay View Phuket occupies the south-east tip of the island, facing the pontoons and long-tails heading towards Phi Phi.

The rooms overlook the marina or the hills, light tiled floor, deep balcony, firm bedding. The spa offers traditional Thai massages, the infinity pool captures the morning light. From 60 € a night, we find here a rare value for money for a 5★ in Thailand, even if the standing remains below the resorts of Laguna or Kata.

Two main pools wind between the palms, one reserved for adults. The resort focuses on space: tropical gardens, immense beach, few vis-à-vis. Marriott service polished, without surprise or particular brilliance. From 262,96 € the night, a good value for this category in Phuket. We come here to decompress with family or as a couple, not for nightlife.

Dinso Resort & Villas Phuket sits on Nanai Road, five minutes from Patong Beach yet far enough back to escape the din of bars and jet-skis. We tested a villa with teak terrace, private 12 m² pool, woven rattan furniture and bathroom open onto a tropical garden. Standard rooms (35 m²) overlook the central pool or gardens, firm bedding, silent air conditioning, stable Wi-Fi. The spa offers traditional Thai massages (1 200 bahts the 90 minutes), dark wood cabins with views of the palms. The gym is decent (treadmills, free weights, bikes), open 24/7.

Sri Panwa Phuket occupies a private peninsula in the south-east of the island, twenty minutes from the airport.

The service is attentive without being intrusive, free parking appreciated. We recommend for a family or wellness stay, not for nightlife (Patong 40 minutes away).

Café del Mar Phuket occupies a cliff in Kamala, between Patong and Surin, and we recognise immediately the visual vocabulary of the brand: immaculate white, clean lines, outdoor teak furniture. The suites and penthouses are staggered on the slope, all with private terrace and frontal sea view. Two infinity pools overlap, the upper one reserved for penthouses, the lower one accessible to all residents. The spa offers traditional Thai massages and signature treatments in cabins open to the tropical vegetation. We tested a three-bedroom penthouse: light stone floors, Miele equipped kitchen, bathtub facing the horizon, dès 269 € la nuit according to the season. Kamala beach is reached on foot in eight minutes via a shaded path. Address for couples and small groups looking for the Café del Mar aesthetic without giving up space ✨
