Lebua at State Tower Review (2026)

Lebua at State Tower is one of Bangkok’s most recognisable hotels, famous worldwide as the filming location for The Hangover Part II and home to the legendary Sky Bar rooftop. The hotel occupies the upper floors of the 68-storey State Tower, meaning every room comes with sweeping views of the Chao Phraya River and Bangkok’s sparkling skyline. The approach is all-suite, with even entry-level rooms offering generous living spaces.

Suites are spacious and well-equipped, featuring full kitchenettes, separate living and sleeping areas, and floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase the views. The decor leans toward classic luxury with rich fabrics and warm wood tones. Bathrooms are large with both tubs and separate showers. The all-suite format makes Lebua particularly attractive for longer stays and families.

The rooftop is where Lebua truly shines. Sirocco restaurant and Sky Bar occupy the 63rd and 64th floors, delivering what many consider the world’s most spectacular open-air dining and drinking experience. The vertigo-inducing views, craft cocktails, and Mediterranean cuisine create an unforgettable evening. Mezzaluna, the hotel’s two-Michelin-starred restaurant, offers an intimate fine dining experience at the same altitude.

Beyond the rooftop, the hotel offers a riverside pool with impressive views, a well-equipped fitness centre, and professional spa services. BTS Saphan Taksin is about a ten-minute walk, with the Silom business district immediately accessible. The combination of iconic rooftop experiences, spacious suites, and river views creates a genuinely unique Bangkok hotel experience. Prices change frequently — check availability now.

Why Stay Here

Sky Bar and Sirocco restaurant, perched on the 63rd floor, deliver the world’s most famous rooftop bar experience. As a hotel guest, you enjoy priority access and can skip the often lengthy queues that outside visitors face.
The all-suite format means every room offers a genuine living space with separate areas for sleeping, relaxing, and dining. Full kitchenettes add practical value for longer stays or families, a feature rare among Bangkok’s luxury hotels.
Mezzaluna, the hotel’s two-Michelin-starred restaurant, offers progressive European cuisine at 65 floors above Bangkok. The intimate 16-seat experience is one of the city’s most exclusive dining reservations, with priority given to hotel guests.
Sweeping Chao Phraya River views from every suite create a constant visual spectacle, from dawn through the golden sunset hour to Bangkok’s glittering night skyline. The south-facing orientation provides the best sunset views in the city.
At approximately $200 per night, Lebua offers all-suite river-view accommodation at a price point well below many comparable Bangkok luxury hotels. The value proposition is remarkable given the iconic status and suite-only format.

Things to Consider

The hotel’s fame means the rooftop venues attract large crowds, especially at sunset. While hotel guests get priority, the atmosphere can feel more tourist-attraction than exclusive bar. For a quieter rooftop experience, Banyan Tree Bangkok‘s Vertigo bar offers a more intimate alternative.
Suite decor, while comfortable and spacious, shows its age compared to newer Bangkok luxury properties. Guests seeking cutting-edge design may prefer Park Hyatt Bangkok or Mode Sathorn Hotel.
The ten-minute walk to BTS Saphan Taksin passes through uneven Silom streets that can be challenging in rain or heat. Direct BTS connections at hotels like Hilton Sukhumvit Bangkok offer easier transit access.
The hotel’s position at the Silom end of the river means it is further from the major historical sites around the Grand Palace. Guests prioritising temple visits may find Pullman Bangkok Grande Sukhumvit or central properties more time-efficient.

Location

🚉 BTS Saphan Taksin — 10-minute walk along Silom Road. Connects to the Silom BTS line for access to Siam, Sukhumvit, and beyond.

Final Verdict

Lebua at State Tower is the quintessential Bangkok bucket-list hotel, offering an experience that combines world-famous rooftop venues, spacious all-suite accommodation, and dramatic river views. No visit to Bangkok feels complete without at least one evening at Sky Bar, and staying at the hotel makes that experience effortless.

✔ Best for: First-time Bangkok visitors seeking iconic experiences, couples wanting romantic sunset drinks, rooftop enthusiasts, film fans, and guests who value spacious suites with genuine living areas over boutique-sized luxury rooms.

❌ Not ideal for: Guests seeking the newest luxury interiors, those who prefer intimate low-key atmospheres over tourist-famous venues, or travellers who prioritise direct BTS access over views and rooftop experiences.

Lebua has earned its place as a Bangkok legend. While newer hotels may offer more contemporary design, none can match the combination of sky-high dining, river panoramas, and the sheer thrill of standing at Sky Bar watching Bangkok unfold 63 storeys below.
