Chatrium deserves its reputation as one of BKK's finest hotels. It is a well designed, well appointed hotel with excellent rooms and facilities. I had the pleasure of staying in a 2 bedroom river view suite with sweeping views of both, the city and the Chao Phraya river. The rooms themselves were incredibly comfortable havens after hot days in the Thai heat and the having a lounge and kitchenette made my stay that much more enjoyable. Breakfast offered excellent variety and the daily morning bustle was well managed by hotel staff. Room service was always timeous and served elegantly and with a smile. Laundry was collected and returned in good order. The concierge desk was always helpful and gave good advice on tours etc. However, apart from the luxury that the building and its facilities offered, the most discerning factor was the hospitality we received from every staff member we came into contact with. From Mr Anak's hugely affable check-in to Mr Takon Ratanasareepas and Mr Thanon Tawarod at the concierge desk to the wait staff at Silver Waves (restaurant and room service) to the porters and breakfast staff, we received nothing short of the most professional, hospitable service that we have received during our travels and for these reasons, Chatrium is the only hotel I fully recommend in BKK and the only one I will stay at when I am in BKK again.
