This hotel reminded me of the Marriott Marquis property in Times Square, New York for all the right reasons - excellent location (on the Asok intersection, near Nana and Siam stations), absolutely electric buzz within the property (business, leisure, corporate, family - all types of guests) and a royal air about the property. The hotel is right opposite the excellent Terminal 21 shopping mall - makes for a very convenient stay.

While the hotel building is relatively old, the rooms and facilities have been well done and the staff-members are absolutely brilliant. The poolside developed on the 3rd floor is well done and isolates you from the noise of the city below. While the breakfast buffet seemed a bit limited, the food quality was top notch. We tried the Indian food at the poolside and were pleasantly surprised by the authenticity of the same.

If you are looking for luxury in a central location in Bangkok, look no further. This hotel is phenomenal in taking care of its residents and I must say we were all spoiled by its service during our 4 day stay.

Beautiful hotel in a very convenient, centralized location. Easy access to the BTS(above ground subway) and MRT(underground subway) directly from the lobby, great food all around, and nightlife around every turn. Housekeeping and the concierge desk were exceptionally helpful and courteous. The rooms are a bit dated but very well maintained. We were upgraded to a grande suite which was very nice and the in room amenities were plentiful and of decent quality. The breakfast buffet was quite extravagant with a lot of Thai and international selections. Didn't do any other meals there as there are so many restaurants and street food nearby. If you take a left out of the hotel, there's a Thai restaurant serving royal Thai cuisine and a food stall a little further down just in front of a food complex with a 50s diner and a Mexican restaurant. Insomnia, a club located through a back door of the diner was surprisingly active at 4am in the morning and the restaurant/bar/hookah bar just out front was a great place to hang out if youre looking for something a little quieter. The pool and fitness facility is a nice, secluded paradise in this very busy city that allows a thorough workout or great way to kill an afternoon. The only confusing part are the elevators: You hear multiple dings before the elevator actually shows up... Haha!

This was my 7th stay at the hotel and always my first choice in Bangkok. Over the years the standards remain extremely high, from check in to check out. The staff are fantastic, attentive, warm and friendly. Whilst the décor remains virtually unchanged the ambiance is always there. The Grande Lux rooms are spacious and comfortable. Breakfast is plentiful with good selection of cuisine. Evening cocktails give an opportunity to relax. Senior management interact with the guests which ensures that a high standard is always maintained.
Location next to the Sky Train ensures and easy way to travel around the city.
Look forward to my next visit.
