Bangkok. As Capella Bangkok has been announced as No. 1 in The World’s Best Hotel 2024 at the awards ceremony at London’s Guildhall, BMW Thailand extends its congratulations for the grand achievement by announcing a new partnership that will provide an exclusive travel experience for guests with the world-class plug-in hybrid BMW 750e xDrive M Sport and the all-electric BMW i7 xDrive60 M Sport. This partnership will enhance guests’ stays with unparalleled comfort and sophisticated commute options that blend a luxurious travel experience with the vibrant culture of Bangkok’s riverside.
A gateway to the ethereal beauty of the Chao Phraya, the ‘River of Kings’, Capella Bangkok features uninterrupted views of waterside vignettes as the focal point in each of its 101 suites and villas. The hotel embodies a harmonious blend of contemporary design and intimate comfort, providing guests with a serene sanctuary amid the vibrant pulse of the city. The hotel boasts award-winning restaurants and bars, including the MICHELIN-starred Côte by Mauro Colagreco, and the rejuvenating Auriga spa. This urban oasis not only elevates luxury accommodation but also connects visitors with the heart and soul of Thailand’s capital. In addition, Capella Bangkok has just taken the top spot in The World’s 50 Best Hotels 2024, climbing 10 places from 2023 and leading the new wave of asian prestige hotels.
