Inspired by Art Deco and Thai antiques, a stay at this luxury riverside resort designed by Bill Bensley is like stepping back in time (in a good way). Most of the art and antiques in the 39 rooms, villas and dotted around the four restaurants and spa actually belong to the owners, adding to the authentically retro ambience. And if you want to explore the city sights, just hop on their exquisite wooden launch to be whisked down river in old world style. Suites start from THB16,730 ($669) a night.
