I have visited Bangkok more times than I know over the decades and never have I stayed at the Montien hotel on Surawong Road. Until now. What a joy to be a guest in this opulent, stunning hotel. I think it has undergone recent refurbishment, a substantial renovation done in a manner which is sympathetic to the majesty of the original product, yet bringing it up to date. I have stayed in many 5 star hotels in Bangkok but never have I seen such stunning features in a hotel. The lobby is breath-taking. The Ruenton restaurant is glamorous and spacious, and that theme is replicated throughout the hotel. There's a very well appointed (and nicely air-conditioned) gym on the 3rd floor, the same floor as the swimming pool. |The hotel is staffed by outstanding people, from the delightful doormen to the reception staff, the bar staff and all of the other special team members that are a part of the Montien family. |Be sure to buy a room which includes breakfast. It's a treat to just see the amazing spread, never mind to sit down and enjoy the myriad dining options. A freshly and perfectly cooked omelette, scrambled eggs....done whichever way you prefer. Maybe you fancy some cereal to start, or some fresh fruit, or some cheese and ham, but be sure to leave room for a selection of delights from the freshly baked treats that await. croissants, various pasty delights, cakes and calory laden treats everywhere! There are pork sausages, chicken sausages, crispy bacon....the choice is substantial and the quality is first class. |The guest rooms are modern, sporting lots of USB plugs and international power plugs. No need to bring power adaptors to the Montien. The showers offer good pressure and plenty of hot water. |If you're thinking of staying at the Montien, Surawong Road, think no more. Make the booking. If you don't love the place you need to consult a shrink!
