Loved this hotel! It didn't feel...
Loved this hotel! It didn't feel like your bland-but-pleasant big chain hotel - the decor is pretty dramatic and the facilities are gorgeous - it was much more individual. The room had polished concrete and darker decorating tones, but during the day it was still nice and bright and we had a good view of the stadium across the road. We didn't hear a peep from adjoining rooms and the staff were professional and quite lovely - always opening the door for us, helping us with taxi's, holding our bags etc. There was a gorgeous infinity pool that looks out over Bangkok and it was getting quite a bit of use when we stayed - unfortunately we had no time to use it though. The people in it looked like they were enjoying it though.
The only complaint was the breakfast - which was in a really nice restaurant on the ground floor and had a great selection of fruit, pastries, an egg station and cooked food like bacon, hash browns, dim sum etc - but this food was really quite cold. Almost stone cold, actually. Hopefully it was just a glitch on the day. Everything else was perfect.
We were in Bangkok to shop and this was a fantastic location for it - a 5 minute walk from MBK, the Discovery Centre, Paragon etc. and a few minutes in the opposite direction to grab a few things at Tesco Lotus (which opens at 9 by the way - and there's a Boots and Watsons pharmacy in that complex if you want to kill some time before the shopping centres open around 11).
I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone in Bangkok, particularly shoppers and for business.
