This is a good hotel, but based on reviews and its own hype we did expect more at the price. Yes it has a very grand lobby, but the rooms themselves are nice but nothing special.
The location is pretty decent,and short walk to Ploechit Skytrain station.
The service generally v good, and breakfast is a decent spread, but because of the rooms misses that real 5 star quality.
Lunch buffet is also pretty decent.
We spent three nights with the bill being picked up by conference company - on that note while the conference rooms are very grand the acoustics are rubbish, which as the conference chairman was not good news at all.
To repeat myself this is a good hotel but just not quite as good as we expected. Once paying for ourselves at the weekend moved to Ascott on Sathorn for a far bigger studio for less money - nuff said really.

One of the best hotels I've stayed at. This hotel is located in Bangkok's central business district. The room was spacious with a comfortable king-size bed. The large bathroom was immaculately done in marble, with a jacuzzi and premium toiletries. The hotel has a full service spa and several restaurants. I particularly enjoyed the extensive breakfast spread and the Thai restaurant.

I would say the experience was great. I booked the hotel from spg.com. You can get good deals online, and almost all deals included breakfast. Overall I paid $210 for a club room with breakfast.

Airport-Hotel: From the airport there are 2 ways to get to hotel. AOT Airport authorized limo or meter taxi. We took the airport limo as we had a bit of luggage. All meter taxis run on CNG so the boot space is about enough for a medium sized bag. It costs about 450 baht plus tolls on metex taxi and 950 baht all inclusive with airport limo. If you dont mind spending the extra money, take the airport limo. Hassfle free and great cars.

Location: The hotel is located between Sukhumvit and Siam Paragon at a sky train station called Ploenchit. The station entrance is less than a 5 minute walk from the hotel. I think this is a much better location than staying at sukhumvit.

Hotel & Room: Grand lobby. We were checked in at the club floor as we had club rooms. The room is a good size, maybe around 350 sft. It has all the modern amenities DVD player, flat screen TV etc. Nice large size bathroom. My kid slept on the couch, she is 5, but it was a bit uncomfortable for her so from the 2nd nite she would hop onto the bed some time in the night.


Lounge: The club lounge is great. They have free happy hours from 6-8 PM daily. Now I have seen my share of happy hours where the hotel serves you the cheapest booze on hand. Not here. They had top of the line vodka, whiskey, single malts, wines and of course any cocktail you desired. Free wifi internet access. This itself will save you 15 bucks a day as using the net in the lounge is free, why pay for it in your room!!! We used to have drinks at the lounge before heading out to dinner. Probably saved a good amount here also. Very nice and helpful club lounge staff. Always smiling and ready to help.

Breakfast: If you are booked at the club room you can choose to eat breakfast at the cafe in the lobby. that is a much better option as you will get more variety. The only problem I had is that I was there 4 days and everyday they have identical breakfast. They could have changed a few things.... but I am nitpicking here.

Tips: You will be better of using the sky train if you want to go to Siam or early part of Sukhumvit. Its so close that no taxi wants to go. If you are using taxi please please ensure the taxi driver starts the meter. Whenever they see foreigners they try not to start and then argue at the end for a fare. And Bangkok taxi drivers are aggressive so you are better off ensuring that is he is not starting the meter u take a different cab.

Overall: Great hotel, great staff, great service. I got no reason to complain. Whenever I go back to Bangkok I am staying at this hotel again.

Prestigious, Affordable and service is at its finest. Definitely the lobby shocks you with its grandeur and it is no wonder that wealthy thai business men choose to hold their sons and daughters weddings here. During my stay one of the top business men in BKK held a ball for 3000 people there. Ok it was hectic to get a cab during that hour but the luxury and wealth was oozing from the guests who entered the hotel stepping out of their luxury cars. Thats all I need to know about a hotel. And infact its true.
