Curator’s statement
During my short but unforgettable visit to Bangkok's Akara Hotel in 2024, I was wonderfully impressed by the stunning rooms, luxurious amenities and exceptional service from the staff. One moment that truly stood out was when I encountered a problem with my ride-share app and the staff went above and beyond to help me. They quickly organized a ride for me so I would make it to my tour on time. Their level of care truly made my stay remarkable. It's a place I'll definitely return to and wholeheartedly recommend to everyone.

Location
Set in the lively Ratchathewi district in central Bangkok, the Akara Hotel offers the perfect blend of modern and traditional experiences. This vibrant area is a fantastic base for exploring the city, with the Ratchathewi station MRT and sky train just a short walk away, providing easy access to iconic attractions such as the Grand Palace, Wat Pho and the Chatuchak Weekend Market.
Amenities
The hotel boasts many fabulous amenities to enhance your stay. My personal favorite was the stunning infinity pool on the rooftop, offering breathtaking city views — a true oasis of relaxation after a day of sightseeing. Additionally, the rooftop bar provides an ideal setting to soak in the mesmerizing cityscape. For dining, the hotel's own Ross Kitchen serves both local and international dishes for a wonderful culinary experience. The in-room amenities were equally impressive, with plush bedding, a well-stocked minibar and a luxurious bathroom featuring a refreshing rain shower. The hotel has spaces available for meetings and events as well as a library lounge where you can relax or work!

As a solo traveler, I found the Akara Hotel to be a safe and comfortable haven during my stay.
