Lebua State Hotel Bangkok Review
Location
Situated on Silom Road in the Bang Rak district, Lebua offers a prime location near the Chao Phraya River. It’s within walking distance of the Saphan Taksin BTS SkyTrain station and the Sathorn Pier, facilitating easy access to the best things to do in Bangkok and opposite Icon Siam Bangkok.
The bustling Patpong Night Market and various dining and shopping options are also nearby. Similar to the other top hotels in the area, such as the Conrad Bangkok, this is a great area for top-rated hotels in the city.
How to Get There
From Suvarnabhumi Airport, guests can reach Lebua via taxi, airport rail link combined with the BTS SkyTrain, or hotel-arranged transfers. The hotel is approximately a 10-minute walk from the Saphan Taksin BTS station, making it accessible for travelers.
Rooms
Of course, in this Lebua State Hotel Bangkok review, we have to look at the rooms. All room types at Lebua are suites, featuring separate living areas, private balconies, and kitchenettes. Rooms are spacious and offer stunning city or river views. While the decor is elegant and rooms are spacious, certain furnishings do appear dated.
Prices
Room rates at Lebua vary based on the suite type and season. At the time of writing, prices range from approximately $136 to $359 USD per night.
There are some great deals to be found directly on the Lebua website too. For example, you can get a room at Lebua including breakfast and a drink at the Sky Bar, with prices starting at 4817 THB.
Staff
The staff here are professional, friendly, and attentive. We have stayed here a few times now, and feel that staff go above and beyond to help; from speedy check-ins to dining suggestions.
Dining Options
Lebua boasts several high-end dining venues, including some of the most romantic restaurants in Bangkok:
- Sirocco: Located on the 63rd floor, this Mediterranean restaurant offers 270° panoramic views of Bangkok.
- Mezzaluna: A two-Michelin-star restaurant on the 65th floor, serving innovative French cuisine with Japanese precision.
- Chef’s Table: Another two-Michelin-star venue, offering contemporary French dishes.
- Breeze: Specializes in Asian cuisine in an al fresco setting.
- Café Mozu: A poolside restaurant offering a diverse buffet selection.
These dining options provide guests with a range of culinary experiences, from casual to fine dining. These restaurants are more expensive than other local spots nearby, but they are worth it for special occasions.
Sky Bar Experience
The Sky Bar on the 64th floor is one of the world’s highest open-air bars, offering 360-degree views of Bangkok.
Famous for its appearance in “The Hangover Part II,” it’s a popular spot for both guests and visitors. While the ambiance and views are exceptional, some patrons find the drink prices to be on the higher side.

Overall thoughts
My husband and I have always enjoyed our stays in Lebua, which is why we wanted to share this Lebua State Hotel Bangkok review. There are plenty of fantastic luxury hotels in Bangkok but Lebua is a great choice for value and location.
The pros of the fantastic riverfront location, the excellent dining and sky bar experience, the friendly staff, and the excellent price (compared to other 5-star hotels along the river), outweigh the cons, which is mainly a slight need for room updates and renovations.
Lebua State Tower is a fantastic choice if you are looking for luxury. There are some great unique hotels in Bangkok and the best boutique hotels in Bangkok too, but Lebua stands out as a top choice along the river.
