Checking in: St. Regis Bangkok offers the best of Thai hospitality in the heart of the city's shopping district
Standing out amongst the Thai capital's many luxury hotels is no easy feat, but The St. Regis Bangkok achieves this through genuine and warm hospitality, world-class amenities and an incredible slate of dining options. Of course, its stellar location certainly helps. The city's biggest shopping district is a short walk away, as is the picturesque Lumpini Park. The hotel also has direct access to the BTS Skytrain network, so exploring the city is as convenient as ever. The bedroom of the Caroline Astor suite.

Dark wood accents and lavish furnishings infuse the rooms here with a timeless sophistication. The Caroline Astor suite, where I stayed, was impressively spacious—with a separate living and dining area, and a bedroom that offers panoramic views of lush vistas thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows that wrap around the space on two sides. In the massive marble-clad bathroom, a deep and roomy tub overlooks the city skyline. What makes a stay here even more enjoyable is the exceptional 24-hour butler service, which includes everything from evening turndowns to assistance with unpacking and packing of luggage upon request.

The St. Regis Bangkok is home to world-class spa and aesthetics clinic Longevity Hub by Clinique La Prairie—the acclaimed brand's first flagship outside Europe. The relaxation areas here are incredible, equipped with amenities such as Thai herbal steam rooms, twilight rasul, vitality pools and a foot reflexology water walk. A wide range of massage treatments and facial experiences await—the latter of which makes use of the brand's premium skincare products. It's a sanctuary of rejuvenation so blissful that you'll find yourself struggling to leave. Igniv Bangkok is helmed by head chef Arne Riehn. Courtesy of The St. Regis Bangkok The food
The true highlight of my stay here, however, was undoubtedly the hotel's impeccable dining offerings. All-day dining destination Viu has one of the most incredible breakfast spreads in the city, with everything from local delicacies like khao soi and a delicious rendition of pad thai encased in an omelette, to international favourites such as Indian cuisine and dim sum . For an especially indulgent breakfast affair, look to the mango sticky rice cart, the french toast station, and a wide selection of cheeses and honeys. Lunch and dinnertime see the restaurant serving up delectable Mediterranean dishes that marry Italian, French and Spanish culinary traditions—from slow-cooked veal eye rounds in velvety tuna-based sauce with crispy caper flowers, to pearl barley 'risotto' in a bell pepper and tomato broth topped with stracciatella.

There's also the hotel's brilliant fine-dining establishment. As renowned chef Andreas Caminada's first venture outside of Switzerland, one-Michelin-starred Igniv Bangkok presents an innovative menu of contemporary European plates that incorporate local ingredients in thoughtful ways. Think eggplant paired with trang pepper and mole, and desserts that incorporate locally sourced chocolate. Dishes here are elegant and full of finesse, designed to be shared between two to foster conviviality. To end the meal, a 'candy store' invites diners to take their pick from a decadent spread of chocolates, candies and sweet treats to take home.

World number three Pegula flies under the radar on Paris subway
Tennis - French Open - Roland Garros, Paris, France - May 29, 2025 Jessica Pegula of the U.S. celebrates winning her second round match against Ann Li of the U.S. REUTERS/Stephanie Lecocq PARIS - American Jessica Pegula is usually more at home on private jets as she tours the world playing professional tennis but the French Open third seed took a fancy to public transportation in Paris this week and managed to fly under everyone's radar. The 31-year-old Pegula, who is through to the third round in Paris, took a quick break from playing duties to take a ride on the French capital's Metro. "Nobody recognised me," she told a press conference. "Nobody recognised me at all. Nobody cared in that sense." Pegula, whose parents are billionaires, gave the French subway the thumbs up. "It was definitely very nice, very clean," she said. "A lot more relaxed than when I took the subway in New York. That's, like, an experience. A lot of entertainment," she said. "It was a good experience. I want to see if I can maybe take some players or something and do a couple of those in the future and just see what happens, get everybody taking the Metro." The world number three used the New York subway during last year's U.S. Open to cut down on travel time in the congested city.
