  • The Oriental (Bangkok; tel. 800/526-6566 or 02236-0400): The Oriental houses more celebrities per square inch than a tabloid magazine. The hotel's elegant colonial style has made it the paragon of luxury for over 130 years. Today, two new resort-style swimming pools with private salas, the refurbished Sala Rim Nam and Verandah restaurants, the newly remodeled China House, plus a new stylish Ayurvedic Penthouse, put the final touches on this Thai hallmark of impeccable hospitality.

  • The Peninsula (Bangkok; tel. 800/262-9467 or 02861-2888): This is a shining example of modern high-rise luxury. Expect all the courtesy and efficiency of a Thai five-star hotel with no pretentiousness. Great dining in a delightfully relaxed atmosphere is accompanied by dazzling riverside views of Bangkok, made memorable by flawless service. Built in a 1900s-style colonial villa, the new spa tops off the facilities of this impeccable hotel.

  • The Chedi (Chiang Mai; tel. 05325-3333): The rare combination of colonial and minimalism works exceptionally well for this cool newcomer to the north. Stark, contemporary rooms complement the historic two-story colonial villa that now houses the hotel's colorful restaurants and terrace, the latter of which offers a terrific high tea. Expect charming service and fantastic views of the river.
