Lebua at State Tower

Overlooking the Chao Praya river and the skyscrapers of Bangkok, the 63 stories of the LeBua are a respite from the vibrant Bangkok street life below. Don't let the businesslike exterior fool you, as it's stuffed to the gills with goodies inside: made up of all-suites, the modern, Western-style rooms have balconies and feather beds while bathrooms are kitted with double-size glass showers and Bulgari bath amenities. LeBua's staff is impeccable, from a friendly wai each time a guest enters to a hand-stamped card bearing the weather forecast with turndown service in the evening.
