Editor's Pick
Pros
- Ranked Among The World's Best: Travel + Leisure's World's Best Awards 2026 placed Chatrium Grand Bangkok at number 58 among hotels worldwide.
- Top One Percent On Tripadvisor: Chatrium Hotel Riverside Bangkok earned a Travellers' Choice Best of the Best 2026, reserved for the top 1% of properties worldwide.
- Book Direct, Pay Less: Members receive 10% off, and a best rate guarantee is shown when you book through Chatrium's own site.
Cons
- Chatrium's portfolio includes a hotel in Yangon, Myanmar, so check your government's travel advisory before booking that property, and pick from the Bangkok or Niseko hotels for a simpler trip.
- Cancellation terms are set rate by rate, so check the conditions on the rate you choose before confirming, especially for peak-season dates.
The Verdict
What sets Chatrium apart is internationally ranked Bangkok hotels with apartment-style residences, booked direct with member savings: Chatrium Hotels & Residences was founded in 2008 and is headquartered on Charoenkrung Road in Bangkok, owned by City Realty, the property arm of one of Thailand's best-known business families. It runs the Chatrium and Maitria brands across Thailand, with properties extending to Yangon in Myanmar and Niseko in Hokkaido, Japan. The portfolio pairs full-service hotel rooms with residence-style suites that offer more space, which suits families and travellers staying a week or longer. The two Bangkok flagships are Chatrium Grand Bangkok, in the city centre, and Chatrium Hotel Riverside Bangkok, set on the Chao Phraya river. The awards are the strongest reason to look closely. Travel + Leisure's World's Best Awards 2026 ranked Chatrium Grand Bangkok number 58 among hotels worldwide, and Tripadvisor gave Chatrium Hotel Riverside Bangkok a Travellers' Choice Best of the Best award for 2026, reserved for the top 1% of properties on the platform. Booking through Chatrium's own site brings 10% off for members and a best rate guarantee at the booking stage, which makes direct booking the sensible default. For travellers from the US, Canada and Australia, it suits a first Bangkok trip, a stopover on the way to the islands, or a ski week in Niseko, which lets skiers stay with the same brand across a longer trip through Asia. Two points will help you choose well. Chatrium's portfolio includes a property in Yangon, Myanmar, and government advisories for Myanmar should be checked before booking that hotel. Families will find the extra space of a residence suite the easier choice for stays of a week or more. Cancellation terms are set rate by rate, so confirm the conditions on your chosen rate before paying, particularly in peak season, and compare a hotel room against a residence suite for the length of your stay. Pick the riverside or the city-centre address to suit your plans, join the membership for the discount, and Chatrium is a standout among award-winning stays in Asia.

Travel + Leisure's World's Best Awards 2026 ranked Chatrium Grand Bangkok number 58 among hotels worldwide, and Chatrium Hotel Riverside Bangkok received Tripadvisor's Travellers' Choice Best of the Best 2026, which recognises the top 1% of listings.

Travellers considering the Yangon property should review their government's current travel advice for Myanmar. Book your stay direct to apply the member discount and compare room and residence types for your dates.

About this review
How this was written, who paid for what, and how the verdict stays independent.
Is this Chatrium Hotels & Residences review sponsored?
No. Chatrium did not pay for this write-up, see it before publication, or have any say in the verdict. If we earn anything it is a commission after you buy, and it comes out of the merchant’s margin rather than your price.
How was the Chatrium Hotels & Residences assessed?
By using it and by checking the claims made about it against what it actually does. Where our time with something has been limited, the review says so rather than implying more testing than happened.
What else have you reviewed in Travel & Tours?
Everything in Travel & Tours sits in the review library, where you can filter by budget and sort by rating, price or how recently it landed.
Do you update reviews after publishing?
Yes — when a product changes, when a price moves for good, or when we get something wrong. Corrections are made on the piece itself with a note saying what changed.
