Hah, hopefully we'll meet sometime again!

I'm not a fan of the Sofitels, but the staff at Accor central res BKK is excellent
The Pullman is very trendy, but it's location just doesn't work for me.Le jour de Saint Eugène, en traversant la Calle Mayor...

Yes it has a lounge where the SGS doesn't, ...
First stay here and totally underwhelmed, despite the managed expectations from reading SQT and TOF. (Disclaimer: Was booked here by a corp partner.)

The LM has one of their lower rates at the moment available. I'm confirmed there this Saturday so I'll be finally able to see what they've done there - I have higher expectations than normal this time, as I tend to enjoy my LM stays more than elsewhere.
Am doing HH double-duty with the Conrad again this Friday alsoLast edited by Kyo; 24 June 2009, 11:55 AM.

I still am not struck on the location but it didn't give the Westin the run for my least favourite SPG property in Bangkok like I thought it would. If the rates stay low, I may end up there again.

Not good value when Plats tend to get Suites at other SPG properties...

Originally posted by MAN Flyer View PostI stayed in LM a few weeks ago, mainly due to it having the best rate for my short notice stay. I have to say, after convincing myself I wouldn't like it due to the location I did enjoy it more than I thought I would mainly due to the fabulous corner suite I got. The hotel itself is quite nice and very modern/'flashy' (Keith will like it... ).

I read "WGS" as "SGS" above. My bad.
So are LM and the WGS now the frontrunners? Haven't been back to BKK in a few years...HUGE AL

1) SGS - no brainer for me
2) ROS - Yes it's a bit tired (althought undergoing renovations) but I like the river and always get well looked after as Plat
3) Plaza Athenee
4) New LM (lovely Hotel, poor location)
5) Westin
I do keep wondering if I have just been unlucky at the Westin it seems to be popular with a few people. But I can't bring myself to stay there when the fabulous SGS is across the road. Maybe I should try it again...

For me it's the Hotel itself, the wonderful service, fabulous outdoor pool area (where you'd never think you were on Sukhumvit), the choice of three locations (Sala by the pool, Living Room and BarSu) for your 2 hours of free drinks each night, 24 hour butler service for you in the Grande Deluxe Suite's and the fact we get Grande Deluxe Suites that go for around 12-13,000 THB a night even when you book the cheapest room.
As I said, no brainer.
