Celebrate the Festive Magic of Paris at Printemps

The Siam Celebrates Three Michelin Keys with riverside staycation experiences for Thai residents
The Siam has been recognised with three Michelin Keys in the Michelin Guide Thailand 2025, the highest hotel distinction in the guide, marking this family-owned Bangkok riverside property as one of the top luxury hotels in Thailand. The Michelin Guide draws attention to the intimate scale of the Bill Bensley–designed Art Deco boutique hotel that comprises just 38 suites and villas, and the generous size of the accommodation, where the entry-level suite spans some 80 square metres. To celebrate this remarkable achievement, The Siam invites Thai residents to indulge in a luxurious staycation with two specially curated packages with rates starting from THB 22,500. The packages are available for booking until 31 December 2025 and valid for stays through 30 September 2026. Riverside Sanctuary starts from THB 22,500++ per night in a Siam Suite, including breakfast for two persons. The package features a 90-minute Opium Spa ritual for two and a THB 2,000 dining credit for a riverfront dinner or afternoon tea. Heritage Villa Indulgence starts from THB 43,100++ per night in a Pool Villa, including breakfast for two persons. Guests will enjoy a private three-course in-villa dinner with sommelier pairing, a 60–90-minute couples’ wellness session featuring yoga, meditation, or Reiki, and a THB 4,000 dining and spa credit. Both packages are available exclusively for Thailand residents. The Siam is owned by the Sukosol family, a multi-generational group of musicians and entertainers who have also built the Sukosol Hotels group, which includes The Siam Collection. Located on a tranquil stretch of the Chao Phraya River, The Siam’s offerings include Chon Thai Restaurant, housed in a traditional teak building and the Muay Thai kickboxing gym. The hotel also features a private pier where guests can enjoy cocktails by the water and cruise aboard The Siam’s exclusive shuttle boat, the only service among riverside hotels that allows guests to stop anywhere along the route between the hotel and Sathorn Pier, including ICONSIAM, Wat Arun, and other renowned landmarks.
