Siam is home to the city’s most glamorous and vibrant shopping districts. Staying here puts you within reach of upscale lifestyle malls, such as Siam Paragon, Siam Discovery and Siam Centre, wherein you will find a multitude of brand name shops as well as gourmet restaurants and some of the city’s most cutting-edge family entertainment outlets. Siam Square, famous for its lineup of hip, independently run shops and eateries, offers an equally exciting experience.

Undoubtedly the busiest skytrain station in Bangkok. It's the meeting point of the two BTS lines, and directly linked to the glitzy five-star Siam Paragon shopping mall, 'The Pride of Bangkok'. Lined up right next to Siam Paragon are Siam Center and Siam Discovery, and on the other side is Siam Square, with lots of little shops and stalls selling clothing and fashion items. Bangkok doesn't have on official CBD core, but this area has traditionally served that purpose, and open spaces between the malls are used for outdoor events like exhibitions and product launches.

The three restaurants at Siam Kempinski are equally impressive, with deconstructed Thai cooking served at Sra Bua, and East-meets-West concept at Niche and Brasserie Europa dishing up hearty European fare.
All rooms offer a beautiful view of Siam Kempinskis gardens, many of them with balconies overlooking the green space, and are lined with cream silk and embellished with beautifully decorated wall panels. or a unique stay opt for the ground floor Cabana Rooms which open straight onto the pool, so you can flop straight from your sun lounger into the water.
