This hotel could be classed with the top Bangkok hotels, such as the Mandarin Oriental or the Peninsula. It doesn't have the in-your-face wow-factor the others have, but it is certainly top-end 5-star luxury with the added benefit of being located right downtown. Like the others, this hotel would be considered 7-star when compared to North American or European 5-star hotels.
The staff is flawless. We returned a second time and they all kept saying, "Welcome back". (I dug into this and found the magic number attached to our record indicating the number of visits, but the end result is the still good.) They would lay out our towels for us at the poolside.
Unique Qualities: The building becomes narrower at the 7th floor, therefore the 6th floor is wider. This is where the outdoor pool is. The edge of the building is lined with bushes and palm trees such that you don't see or hear the city just beyond. You could be fooled into thinking you were at a resort, until you peep through the edge and see the bustling noise and traffic just outside. There is also a jacuzzi portion of the pool complete with hot-waterfalls.
