Sala Ayutthaya, Ayutthaya, Thailand

This new luxury boutique hotel can impress its guests with its riverside location and the chic modern style of its 26 guest rooms all of which have a lovely view of the river. The hotel houses an art gallery with exhibits that rotate monthly. Guests can also do a city tour of the nearby temples and museums by tuk tuk or bicycle.

The highlight of this hotel’s location is the evening view from the hotel restaurant. Looking out from the dining table or from a dinner cruise, the view of the temple on the opposite bank with its chedi illuminated by spotlight is simply gorgeous.
