Park Hyatt Bangkok
"How did it strike you on arrival?The hotel’s personality is spelled out by the stores in the mall it’s connected to—all upscale, all chic. You’re pointed to the hotel entrance by a series of discrete signs in gold lettering, where lifts take you to the beautiful 10th floor lobby decorated in cream and white and accented with simple, bold artworks, also in gold. Even the sleek, sculpted reception desk looks like modernist art. Nice. What’s the crowd like?Business types, vacationing couples, and families. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.My Deluxe Corner Suite was the definition of mod Thai chic—all clean lines subtly accented with Thai touches, like a lotus pattern engraved above the bathtub and drapes in Thai silk. Plush lime-green rugs dressed the light wood floors. A narrow hallway led to the curved bedroom, which had a work desk, an armchair, a minimalist TV on a stand, floor-to-ceiling windows—and a gorgeous unblocked view of the city. We’re craving some deep, restorative sleep. They got us?I don't remember anything after hitting the pillow—the bed brought sleep on like a dream! How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Any of that find its way into your suitcase?The Thai touches included an adorable lotus-shaped lamp that I would totally grab if no one was watching. Please tell us the bathroom won’t let us down.The bathroom was huge and felt like an exclusive spa, thanks to the muted lighting and minimalist fittings. The shower area was spacious enough for four. Very plush robes. The products were Park Hyatt’s usual—delicious-smelling La Labo toiletries. Maybe the most important topic of all: Wi-Fi. What’s the word?Super speedy and free! Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you.There’s a 130-foot tree-lined infinity pool on the ninth floor. The hotel is in a complex crammed with drinking and dining joints, like the Penthouse Bar & Grill on the 36th floor that offers panoramic views of the Thai capital. What was most memorable—or heartbreaking—about your stay?Simply chilling out in what must be one of the most beautiful accommodations in Bangkok. Bottom line: worth it, and why?It’s pricey, but the Park Hyatt Bangkok offers top-notch luxury in a prime spot connected to the exclusive Central Embassy mall and Ploen Chit BTS station. The latter’s just a couple stops from the popular Siam Square area." - Audrey Phoon
