Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River
An infinity pool over the Chao Phraya River
About this hotel
The Four Seasons sets its infinity pool directly against the Chao Phraya River, so the water appears to merge with the river beyond the edge, a distinctive setting among the more urban pools on this list. The hotel's own boat pier links the property to the BTS network without crossing central Bangkok's traffic, and the surrounding gardens keep the grounds shaded and calm even in the hottest months. Balconies open onto river or pool views, and the kids' club gives families a supervised option alongside the yoga classes and steam room aimed more at adults. French, Italian and Thai dining, in family-friendly, traditional and romantic settings, cover most evenings without leaving the riverside grounds at all, right through to a late dessert by the water.

- Private boat pier
- Kids' club
Our take
This suits travellers who want Bangkok's most distinctive riverside infinity pool and don't mind reaching the BTS by boat, best used at sunset when the light over the Chao Phraya makes the infinity edge most striking. Families with young children benefit from the kids' club alongside the pool. Guests prioritising direct Skytrain access from the hotel door should weigh the boat transfer here against the Sukhumvit towers on this list with a station connection built in.
- ✓Time a swim for sunset if possible, when the infinity edge and the river light together make the most of the setting.
- ✓Use the kids' club during a spa treatment or dinner, since it runs alongside the main wellness and dining facilities.
- ✓Check the hotel boat schedule ahead of an early excursion, since it's the primary link to the nearest BTS station.
Why we love it

Why guests love itFamilies who choose the Four Seasons for the infinity pool tend to split the day between the water and the kids' club, using the supervised sessions to free up a spa treatment or a quiet lunch without watching the pool constantly. Sunset is the moment most guests come back to, when the light over the Chao Phraya makes the infinity edge feel like it disappears into the river itself. The boat pier becomes part of the routine rather than an inconvenience once the trip to a BTS station becomes familiar.
