This old dame is definitely still on the dance floor waltzing away. More expensive than most hotels in Bangkok but you get what you pay for. Service staff are immensely helpful with a helping hand and a warm smile. I don't think we ever had to hit the up or down button for an elevator.
Grounds are lush with vegetation making you forget you are in a big city. Location right on the river is postcard perfect. Watching the river traffic float by over breakfast is a show in itself.
Unique Qualities: From the river wing virtually every window has a great view of the Chao Phraya river. The 2 pools set in luscious gardens are a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the streets. Restaurants are top notch, upscale and fine dining. Chinese Restaurant out in the front of the hotel is especially recommended for its old colonial style charm.
Shuttle boats to the Dinner-Show Restaurant and to the Skytrain are a plus. Getting a short boat ride to the Skytrain saves your feet for the walking that is ahead.
