Journey Back in Time, Right in the Heart of Bangkok
This stay at Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit, a Luxury Collection Hotel reminded me exactly why I love the Luxury Collection so much. This is officially my 5th Luxury Collection hotel, and it truly delivered a strong sense of place.
The location could not be more perfect, right on Sukhumvit Road and directly connected to Asok BTS and Sukhumvit MRT, yet the moment you step inside, it feels like Bangkok from another era. I stayed in their Thai traditional themed Rama Suite, and the vibe was unreal. Spacious, elegant, and deeply rooted in Thai history, it felt like being transported far away from the modern city outside.
I loved spending time by the Thai themed main pool, surrounded by beautiful statues and plenty of lounging space. Dining was another highlight, especially the famous Le Petit Chef experience at the lounge. An immersive 5 course dinner with a playful competition theme, featuring dishes inspired by France, Italy, Spain, and Japan, paired beautifully with wine.
The gin library at the lounge also deserves a special mention. A vast selection of gin, and the gin flight with four different styles paired with mixers was such a fun experience. Above all, the service stood out the most. Warm, soulful, and undeniably Thai. Everything about this hotel celebrates locality and history, and I cannot recommend it enough, especially their Thai themed suites.
