Bangkok has come a long way from the small village which bore its name in the 15th century. As it was located on the mouth of the Chao Phraya River, the area soon grew in importance and even became the site of a famous siege in 1688 when Siam expelled the French. Bangkok was made Thailand’s capital in 1782 and has expanded in size ever since. Water is at the heart of the city with the canals deemed to be as important as the streets. This is why Bangkok has gained the sobriquet: ‘Venice of the East’.
Perhaps it is no surprise to learn that the Praya Palazzo boutique hotels Bangkok also has a distinct Italian influence just like the capital. The hotel is actually a mansion that was first built in 1923. Praya Chollabhumipanish was a member of King Rama V’s court and he was greatly influenced by contemporary Italian art. The mansion was specially built on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. This is great news for our guests who stay within easy walking distance of Bangkok’s jewel. (more…)

The Praya Palazzo boutique hotel in Bangkok is one of the new kids on the Bangkok boutique hotel block but we have already created quite a stir since opening in 2009. Publications in Bangkok, Thailand and beyond have already sat up and taken notice of the achievements we have made in such a short time. Since January 2010, we have appeared in 14 separate magazines with world famous publications such as Elle waxing lyrical about the way we do things, the location, the staff and just about everything else associated with the Praya Palazzo boutique hotel in Bangkok.
The hotel is actually a refurbished mansion that is almost 90 years old. These buildings have an extraordinary history and this is certainly part of the hotel’s charm. Unlike a host of other new hotels which are modern and lacking ambiance, the Praya Palazzo boutique hotel in Bangkok oozes charm from the interior to its exterior. Of course, we are fortunate to have such a canvas from which to work. In many ways, the location of the hotel makes our job easier. We overlook the incredible Chao Phraya river which is synonymous with the city of Bangkok.
