作为2023年世界50家最佳酒店排名榜单的前三名，曼谷四季酒店以其“都市度假酒店”的定位和四季品牌一贯的傲然品质获誉颇多。
酒店坐落在由Hamiltons International建筑公司设计的建筑群之中，并聘请来自比利时的酒店设计传奇人物Jean MichelGathy打造，Gathy作品遍布全球，在中国亦是遍地生花。
对于曼谷四季酒店而言，将户外河畔景致与田园风光融汇进现代都市品味，使宾客置身曼谷中心区域却能有漫步河滩田园的度假意趣，这即是设计的重点。连结户外和室内的纵深空间里设立了两面轩阔非常的巨大玻璃幕墙，一面朝向湄南河，另一面连结内院的庭院空间，相得益彰。
水的运用在酒店中无处不在。临近河滨的地方用架空设计营造水面与步道结合的外庭，波浪形态的金属板吊顶与水面一起在光影里同频荡漾；中部庭院水中的巨型鹅卵石样式艺术陈设表现了静谧山水意味；东部庭院的长条形镜面水池和树木植被组成几何感的排列关系。
曼谷的发展沿河而起，千灯万火的现代华彩与漫漫南去的湄南河水在曼谷四季酒店里进行了优雅呈现。
Ranked 3 on the World‘s 50 Best Hotels List 2023, Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok has gained much acclaim for its positioning as an urban resort and the consistent excellence of the Four Seasons brand. The hotel is located within a complex designed by Hamiltons International and was designed by renowned hotel designer JeanMichel Gathy, whose works can be found all around the world.
For Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok, the key focus of the design is to blend the outdoor riverfront scenery with pastoral landscape into a modern urban taste, allowing guests to experience the leisurely charm of a riverside retreat while being in the heart of Bangkok.
Two expansive glass curtain walls have been integrated into the vertical space that connects the outdoor and indoor areas one facing the Chao Phraya River and the other linking to the courtyard space, mutually enhancing each other.
Water is intricately incorporated throughout the hotel. Near the riverfront, a floating design creates a courtyard that combines water surfaces with walkways, while the undulating metal plate ceiling resonates harmoniously with the play of light and shadow. In the central courtyard, a large pebblelike art installation in the water signifies a tranquil mountain and water theme. The long rectangular mirrored water pool and the arrangement of trees and vegetation in the eastern courtyard create a geometric relationship.
The development of Bangkok is closely intertwined with the river, and Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok elegantly presents the juxtaposition of the vibrant modern cityscape and the flowing waters of the Chao Phraya River.
