What a beautiful hotel 

23,000 baht a night 

Beautiful bellboys 

Beautiful view from room

23000 baht per night! 😵😵😵

Cheap at the price! Try early December when the rate becomes 46,900 per night! That's nearly double the cost of a river view room at the Mandarin Oriental! Mind you that hotel is showing its age and the rooms are only half the size of the Capella or less.

But given that Bangkok has 200 5-star and deluxe hotels (making it just one hotel short of being the leader of that specialist group), where do all their patrons come from having to pay those prices, I wonder? Paris has only 116 5-star hostelries and London 162!

lucky you to have such problems . My problem in Bangkok is to make  to Foodland before 9 am in order to have  discounted breakfast at 84 baht instead of extortionate 93 baht they are charging after 9.

Unfortunately my humbe apartment is nothing like the Capella hotel. Better ask @Olddaddy as he seems to have stayed there - perhaps using the cash with which he had originally planned to buy the Pattaya bar 

I have stayed here too and it is indeed a beautiful property. Some rooms have a better balcony orientation than others. My dream is to be afford the river front pool villas.

I have experienced the neighbouring Four Seasons too and while far more gay friendly, the rooms simply cannot compare and have no balcony. Property is also too large and maze-like. The pool is better than Capella though. 

I wonder how much the rooms cost on New Year's Eve when there's fireworks.

 check on Agoda and book right away

Many of the riverfront hotels are sold out already for New Years.  I was lucky to get an Airbnb on the river across from Icon Siam.   Looking forward to the fireworks.
