Shanghai Mansion, Bangkok Chinatown

Bangkok Chinatown is a chaotic hive of activity with its roots practically as old as Bangkok itself but up until very recently decent accommodation and hotels in this vibrant district of Bangkok were few and far between.

The Shanghai Mansion, formerly the Shanghai Inn, is reminiscent of 1930’s Shanghai with quirky interior décor that incorporates very bright Chinese fabrics. It’s a bold move that has created a bold design statement with plenty of ‘wow’ factor. The Shanghai Mansion has become something of a trendsetter and a benchmark for other hotels in Chinatown to follow.

During renovation, much of the original architectural features were retained to accommodate the 55 guestrooms which ooze unique character and style. Contemporary Chinese interior design elements evoke the Orient of old whilst the ambiance is intimate and romantic.

An ideal retreat in the hustle and bustle of Chinatown for Romance, Honeymoons and discerning travellers who appreciate the design and the hotel’s location where days can be spent exploring Bangkok Chinatown’s maze of historic alleyways, the markets, the Chinese Temples and the Chao Phraya River. When you begin to feel weary, plonk yourself down at any one of the many street food options in Chinatown to sample delicious Chinese Thai fare.

Out & About:

The Shanghai Mansion is in a perfect location for exploring historic and cultural Bangkok and it is only a stones throw away some of the city’s main landmarks such as the Royal Palace and Wat Po for example. Also, the Chao Phraya River is within walking distance and you have the pick of Bangkok Chinatown’s incredible dining options.

ZiZ Recommends – Contact ZiZ Asia to arrange a half day guided walk around Chinatown; it really brings the historic district to life transforming otherwise non descript buildings into monuments of intrigue while you burrow like a mole through the warren of little alleyways.

Shopping opportunities are endless in and around Chinatown with markets selling practically everything while Bangkok’s more high-end shopping malls can be reached via a combination of subway and sky train along with the city’s nightlife and entertainment zones as well.
