Rooftop Hotels in Bangkok
8 Stays with Sky Pools
and Rooftop Bars!

Mention rooftops in Bangkok and the first name most people reach for is the Sky Bar at lebua — an open-air bar under the golden dome on the 63rd floor of State Tower. It's the glowing circular bar made famous by The Hangover II, with the Chao Phraya River and the Silom–Sathorn skyline laid out below, best at sunset. The hotel is all-suite, scoring 9.3 from 397 reviews, with a private balcony on every room and river-facing rooms that open straight onto the water. Up top you'll also find Sirocco, the open-air restaurant, and Distil bar. It's a 10-minute walk to Saphan Taksin BTS. Worth knowing: guests call the pool small for the class — the real draw is the sky bar.

Banyan Tree Bangkok is a tall luxury hotel in Sathorn whose Vertigo & Moon Bar sits open-air on the 61st floor with 360-degree views, one of the rooftop bars most often named in the world's top lists. It scores 9.1 from 1,206 reviews. Moon Bar is the cocktail bar; Vertigo is the open-air restaurant along the building's edge, with the Sathorn–Silom skyline and the river bend in full view. Beyond the sky bar there's a rooftop garden pool on the 21st floor, a 4×25-metre pool ringed with greenery, and the well-known Banyan Tree Spa. It's a 10-minute walk to Lumphini MRT.

137 Pillars Suites is an all-suite Luxury hotel whose headline feature is a 24-hour 27th-floor infinity pool, reserved for guests, with the Bangkok skyline running out below, on a tower in Sukhumvit Soi 39, scoring 9.4. Beyond the sky pool, the 28th floor holds the Sky Bar and Jack Bain's Bar, pouring Thai-British cocktails with complimentary drinks each evening. Every room is a 70–127 sqm suite with a separate living area and a round marble tub, named after Thai royal capitals. It's an 8–10 minute walk to BTS Phrom Phong, and once you're in the soi it's far quieter than Sukhumvit Road.

SO/ Bangkok (formerly SO Sofitel) is a 5-star design hotel with both an infinity pool over Lumpini Park and the HI-SO Rooftop Bar on the 29th floor, on the corner of North Sathorn Road facing the park, scoring 9.1 from 812 reviews. The draw is the pool edge that frames Lumpini Park and the financial-district towers in one shot, at its best at dusk. HI-SO Rooftop on level 29 is an open-air bar open to non-guests. The building was designed by Christian Lacroix with Thai designers, its 237 rooms themed around the four elements. It's a 3-minute walk to Lumphini MRT.

Bangkok Marriott Sukhumvit is a 5-star hotel in Thong Lo whose Octave Rooftop Lounge & Bar spans four floors (45–49), scoring 9.2 from 220 reviews. The standout is the open-air 49th floor, with an illuminated round bar at its centre and 360-degree views across the whole Sukhumvit skyline, best in the evening once the lights are on. There's a 7th-floor pool with city views and the well-liked Chocolate Cake Co. patisserie. Rooms start at 36 sqm — a comfortable size — and it's a 5-minute walk to BTS Thong Lo, in the eat-drink-café district.

Eastin Grand Sathorn is a 5-star hotel in Sathorn with a 14th-floor infinity pool over the Sathorn–Silom skyline, scoring 9.4 from 656 reviews. The draw is the sky pool whose edge looks across the financial-district towers, with the sun setting behind them, plus a poolside bar. Its best advantage is the direct skywalk link to BTS Surasak — no street walking in the rain or heat. Rooms start at 32 sqm, clean and modern with city views, and the breakfast spread is wide. A good pick if you want a sky pool at a reachable 5-star rate.

Avani+ Riverside is a 5-star hotel on the Thonburi bank of the Chao Phraya with a 26th-floor infinity pool that runs off the building's edge over the river and the Bangkok skyline, scoring 8.8 from 306 reviews. The sky pool is what guests mention most — it takes in the river bend, ICONSIAM and the city across the water, lovely at sunset. On the same level is Attitude Rooftop Bar, open-air and running into the dining space. Every room has a river or city view, and a free shuttle boat crosses to ICONSIAM and Sathorn pier (for the BTS). A good fit if you want a riverside stay with a sky pool.

Chatrium Grand is a 5-star luxury hotel in twin 32-storey red towers with a rooftop Sky Bar and a 32nd-floor Club Lounge over the city, on Phetchaburi Road, opened in 2022, scoring 9.4 from 2,246 reviews. On the roof, the open-air Sky Bar takes in the Ratchathewi–Pratunam skyline, while the 7th floor holds Flow, an alfresco saltwater pool with a Thai sala by the water. The other strength is room size — entry-level rooms run a generous 46 sqm, wider than the district 5-star average, each with a complimentary minibar and an espresso machine. Pratunam shopping is a walk away, but the nearest BTS, Phaya Thai, is about 1.3 km off — a Grab is more comfortable.
