An excellent 5-star hotel; staff is wonderful and the breakfast is amazing. If you're looking for a little escape to do nothing and think about nothing, this is a great place. The pool area is really nice to hang out but it does get a lot of sun in the afternoon, so remember your sun lotion. Really nice that it is directly connected to the BTS, so going almost anywhere in Bangkok is easy as pie. Also, on silom road, theres a lot of local food stalls and such so if you're looking for cheaper Thai food, that's also easy to find. The hotel is expensive as far as food and beverage goes, but hey, you get too notch service as well so pick your poison. Will definitely stay here again if in need of a 5-star splurge. BUT, for a few dollars more, you can stay at the exceptional lebua hotel as well, so... Whatever :) it's all bangkok to me.
