For more than 140 years, travellers have followed the Chao Phraya River to stay at the legendary Oriental Hotel. The Oriental, now The Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok, was the first luxury hotel in the Kingdom of Siam. In 1865 the hotel’s original structure was destroyed in a fire and was replaced by the current structure in 1876. In 2015, the renowned Authors’ Lounge - a favourite destination for afternoon tea, society weddings and elegant events - was restored to its classic late nineteenth-century design. In keeping with the great literary heritage of the hotel, the newly restored Authors’ Lounge features a collection of photographs of the many famous writers who have stayed at the hotel over the last three centuries.
