Sala Arun

Situated on the Chao Phraya River, the 4-star Sala Arun occupies an 80-year-old Chinese shophouse and offers stylish air-conditioned rooms with private balconies directly overlooking the Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun) or Wat Po. Each non-smoking room features contemporary decor, a flat-screen TV, minibar, and safe deposit box, with shower facilities in the private bathroom. The on-site Bitter Deck restaurant serves a la carte Italian, French, and Thai cuisines, while the rooftop bar provides exclusive views of the river and the illuminated Wat Arun. A complimentary breakfast is served each morning at Sala Arun's river-view dining area. The hotel is a 5-minute walk from the Flower Market, a 10-minute walk from Wat Po, and 1 km from the Grand Palace. Sala Arun provides free WiFi throughout, laundry services, luggage storage, and a chargeable airport shuttle. The property is 100 metres from the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, with Tha Tien Pier number 8 offering river taxis across to Wat Arun.
