40 hotels · the rooftop is a lift ride away
Every hotel here has a rooftop from our list inside it, so your evening is a lift ride away.
We spend our nights on Bangkok's rooftops, so this is the list we send friends who ask where to stay. Each hotel has at least one rooftop on our list inside it: book a room, take the lift, and the evening plan is sorted. Tap a hotel's booking button for live rates and availability.
Some of the city's best-known rooftop bars are inside hotels: Sky Bar at Lebua, Red Sky and CRU Champagne Bar at Centara Grand, and Octave at the Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit. Below, the 40 hotels are grouped by style, from five-star icons to good-value stays. Further down, you can compare them all by area and see when hotel prices are lowest.

Booking-site price data puts September at the bottom of the year for Bangkok hotels and December at the top. The rainy season is the low season, with fewer visitors, while the cool, dry months from November to February are the high season.
Average Rainfall in Bangkok, Month by Month
The low season. September is usually the cheapest month of the year for hotels, and also the wettest, with around 336 mm of rain. It rarely rains all day: a rainy day usually brings one heavy storm in the late afternoon or evening, lasting from 30 minutes to two hours, then clears. Open-air rooftop bars may close their terrace while a storm passes, so plan the rooftop for later in the evening and check whether it has a covered area. Rain also washes the air, so the skyline is often sharper than on a hazy January night.
If you would rather skip the rain, November is a good compromise: the rain has mostly stopped, with around 45 mm in the month, and rates sit below December's peak.
The rain tails off by November, and the months from then to February are the driest, the most comfortable and the busiest. December is the most expensive month for hotels, so if you are coming for Christmas, New Year's Eve or Chinese New Year (6 February 2027), book early. One catch for rooftop lovers: from about December to March, PM2.5 haze often hangs over the city and can soften the skyline view.
Hot, with April the hottest month. Songkran, the Thai New Year water festival from 13 to 15 April, brings big crowds to the main water-fight streets such as Silom and Khao San Road, so book early if you want to stay near them. Plan your rooftops for after sunset, once the worst of the heat has gone.
