Holiday Inn Bangkok

Sunday 22 October 2006 @ 7:58 pm

The Holiday Inn, Bangkok, Thailand, is conveniently located in the heart of Bangkok, just across from the famous Bangkok World Trade Centre. Offering modern, state-of-the-art facilities, the Holiday Inn Bangkok provides the attention to detail that is so important to discerning travelers. The Holiday Inn Bangkok offers a variety of culinary experiences ranging from a specialty Thai restaurant, to modern all day dining. The expansive Lobby Bar at the Holiday Inn Bangkok provides the ideal ambiance for either work or conversation. The 377 well-appointed guest rooms at the Holiday Inn Bangkok offer a variety of styles and sizes and provide a wide range of amenities to ensure a relaxing stay.

Local area attractions and facilities within easy reach of the Holiday Inn Bangkok include Siam Square, the Chidlom Skytrain Station, Panthip IT City, the Gaysorn Boutique Mall and the Erawan Shrine.

Fantastic! Our first stay at Holiday Inn – we were upgraded (for small pay) to an excellent Executive room. The hotel has an ideal location for us shoppers. We have already booked this hotel again through Precision Reservations for late December 2006. Good live-bar music and very convenient fly-over connections to the sister-hotel, the Intercontinental Hotel, if ever you fancy a different setting.” - Joseph S

How does one say “WOW” in Thai?? “This property is immediately adjacent to the InterContinental Hotel in the heart of Bangkok’s shopping district. In fact, they “share” certain amenities. Anyway, this hotel is an absolute GEM! We could not have ended our stay in Thailand at a better property. The staff accommodated our traveling party and upgraded our rooms just to keep us together. Rooms were GREAT! The whole hotel staff, from front desk to bell hops to Charm Thai Restaurant employees (Nat & Pa) were incredible. The elevator operators were just as nice as could be, as well. Best as I can determine, the Thai people are not manufacturing or concocting their desire to please you. It is genuinely their nature. The hotel is very conveniently located in regard to Gaysorn Plaza, Central World and Pratunam City Complex, which one could easily walk to. You can also take a taxi, or Tuk Tuk, to MBK, Central, Siam Discovery, Jim Thompson, etc.” - Mark G




Baiyoke Sky Hotel

Sunday 22 October 2006 @ 7:49 am

Strategically located in the heart of downtown Bangkok, the 88-storey Baiyoke Sky Hotel is Thailand’s tallest. Surrounded by bustling market and entertainment attractions, Baiyoke Sky Hotel is within easy walking distance of the major shopping centers such as Central World Plaza, Gaysorn Plaza, and the Peninsula. The business center at the Baiyoke Sky Hotel features a full range of modern equipment and around-the-clock professional assistance. All of the Baiyoke Sky Hotel’s 673 spacious rooms and suites are equipped with full facilities.

“I am just one of the passersby to review this hotel from my own point-of-view. True enough the services from the staff are very warm and friendly. The room itself is very spacious and nice. Breakfast is filled with so many varieties that you need at least 2 days to complete the range of breakfast. The price of the hotel is a really good value for money and you would be glad to pay at this price for this 4-star hotel. My overall view is: THUMBS UP with Satisfaction.” - Daniel

JW Marriot - Classy Hotel

Wednesday 11 October 2006 @ 2:29 pm

The JW Marriott Hotel in Bangkok is an excellent property, truly a “classy” hotel for business travelers or leisure travlers. The rooms are excellent, staff very helpful, and the club lounge quite nice. The fantastic breakfast and the executive lounge facilities. The staff were really superb, friendly and always ready to help. Drinks are expensive and the Internet was exorbitant when accessed from the executive lounge. We tried all of the restaurants, Thai, Chinese, Japanese and Steak House and can highly recommend all. The room while not huge was very comfortable and we will return there, if for no other reason than it is very well located for skytrain, shopping and very important for us Bumrungrad Hospital. - Ahmed S.

Amari Boulevard Hotel Bangkok

Tuesday 10 October 2006 @ 10:38 pm

Amari Boulevard - Great location!

“Amari Boulevard is situated in the heart of Bangkok with easy access to the BTS, Nana and also bargain shopping. On arrival you may feel disappointed, but once inside, your disappointment disappears. We stayed in a suite and the room was great. Breakfast was very good with a wide selection. Try dinner beside the pool area; they were the best meals we have ever tasted and service was superb. The cost was very reasonable as well. Access to the Nana BTS station was great and this gave us easy access to other parts of the city. Be wary of annoying taxi drivers and tuk tuk drivers, as they become a pain. Metered taxi is the best option and wheel-and-deal with the tuk tuk before getting in. Overall, this is a great hotel if you want to spend some time in the city and try a bit of bargain shopping and also experience the nightlife at Nana.” - Patrick
