For the second year, the founders of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants and World’s 50 Best Bars lists have turned their attention to the most fabulous places to stay around the globe. And this year, it’s the Capella Bangkok that comes away as the best hotel on earth.
The Capella is among a cluster of new riverside resorts in Bangkok that has skyrocketed the city’s luxury quotient. Every one of its rooms has a view of the Chao Praya River, and dining venues include a French gastronomic restaurant by Mauro Colagreco and the waterfront Phra Nakhon, which has become something of a legendary brunch scene for chic locals and visitors alike. Its pool is so densely surrounded by lush vegetation, it almost feels like instant transport to one of the Thai islands.
