From riverside soft serve to evenings shaped by music and atmosphere, the romance of a European summer arrives in Bangkok
This season, Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River invites guests to escape to the feeling of a European summer through “101 Days of Summer,” a seasonal celebration inspired by leisurely afternoons and the simple pleasures of summer by the water.
At the heart of the experience is Cafe Madeleine’s new Ice Cream Bar — a playful riverside pop-up inspired by the charm of summer holidays along the Mediterranean coast, where soft serve and unhurried moments become part of the day’s ritual.
As part of the season’s programming, the hotel will also welcome the return of Riverside Rhapsody, an intimate live music performance set within the Arrival Courtyard for one evening only.
A Taste of a European Summer at Cafe Madeleine
Set along the hotel’s riverside promenade, Cafe Madeleine’s “101 Days of Summer” Ice Cream Bar captures the nostalgia and ease of a European summer escape — where afternoons stretch a little longer, dessert is enjoyed outdoors, and moments by the water feel effortless and spontaneous.
Designed as a refined take on the classic ice cream stand, the pop-up pairs soft serve creations with vibrant seasonal flavours and riverside views.
“At Cafe Madeleine, we wanted to create something that feels nostalgic,” says Michel Gunnar Eberhardt, Director of Food and Beverage. “The Ice Cream Bar draws inspiration from the feeling of a European summer holiday — relaxed afternoons, strolling by the water, and stopping for something refreshing along the way.”
Created by Executive Pastry Andrea Bonaffini, the menu balances indulgence with freshness, layering creamy soft serve with bright fruit notes, subtle textures, and refined finishing touches.
“Summer desserts should feel vibrant, light, and easy to enjoy,” says Chef Andrea Bonaffini. “Each creation was designed to capture the flavours and feeling of summer holidays, while bringing a playful sense of discovery to each experience.”
Signature creations include:
Available from May 29 to September 6, 2026, the Ice Cream Bar is served daily from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Riverside Rhapsody Returns
As part of “101 Days of Summer,” the hotel will also present the fourth edition of Riverside Rhapsody on Friday, June 5, 2026.
Set within the tranquil Arrival Courtyard overlooking the river, the intimate one-night-only performance brings together Thai musicians from the College of Music, Mahidol University for an evening shaped by live music and the effortless spirit of summer by the water.
Limited to just 80 guests, the experience includes welcome cocktails and canapés, with guests invited to continue the evening across the hotel’s restaurants following the performance.
