Elegant as a palace: Bangkok's Athena Luxury Collection Hotel

Bangkok's Athena Hotel is a true masterpiece that combines palace-style grandeur with modern luxury. The magnificent marble lobby, gilded decorations, and noble crystal chandeliers make you feel as if you are in a royal residence. The guest rooms feature velvet and leather furnishings, with intricate details such as carved designs on the curtain tiebacks. Dining at the high-rise restaurant at night, overlooking the shimmering lights along the Chao Phraya River, is a feast for both the eyes and the palate. This is the perfect destination for travelers seeking an absolutely regal experience, and it was the most European-style luxurious stop of my trip.
