Top tips

• There are not so many locations to eat around the hotel. The Sathorn road is bereft of any shopping but you can reach the Surasak BTS station via a special ramp leading directly from the 3rd floor.

• Using public transit is advisable if you know the congested streets of Bangkok. Beware there are no downward escalators and carrying your luggage might create problems for you.

• The hotel is situated in the financial district, and access from and to the airport is a little inconvenient. The Sathorn road is very busy and it’s really hard to get there during the rush hours.

• The bars and restaurants are relatively cheap when compared with other hotels of this standard. A great roof top infinity pool on the 14th floor, offers stunning and mesmerizing views of Bangkok city.

• Do try out ‘The LUCE restaurant’ on the 14th floor. It serves the freshest Italian Cuisine and seafood coupled with an eclectic selection of drinks and cocktails, in a chilled out atmosphere of sheer relaxation and indulgence.

• Though the hotel food is great but it is recommended to have the food on the streets where you will be able to experience the real Thai style food.

• The hotel is only one stop away from the river boat, which is a lovely option to take, to get to some of the sights, such as Wat Pho.
