Banyan Tree or Conrad Bangkok?
Dear Fodorites,
I need a hotel recommendation, please...
Given a similar rate for these 2 hotels, except that Conrad includes breakfast (and BT doesn't), which would you take?
This is for early April 09.
And, which one has a better location (for a 1st timer in BKK)?
Many thanks!

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I'm aware of the special deals at the 2 hotels (thanks for the tips, btw)...and that is also why I raised the question...the rate ends up to be very similar (per nite) with Conrad includes breakfast...
Hoping that fodorites can elp me to decide on which hotel to stay for early april. Thanks!

In my opinion, the Conrad is better located. Have not stayed at either one.
Hyatt and Four Seasons are both in better locations, skytrain-wise. I would want to be close to the BTS staion! April is the hottest month so temps as well as humidity will get to you if you have to walk very far!

Have stayed at the Conrad 3 times and love it. If you can pay a bit extra fro teh Exec floor do it - it is worth it. I haven't staed at teh Banyan but have visited a couple of time and felt it was looking a bit tired (but the rooms may be great?). The Conrad is a 10 min walk to the BTS and a couple of stops from Siam Square and so is pretty convenient to get around town.

Hi
I have not stayed at any of these hotels but I have wanted to stay at Conrad when I have gone to Bangkok but I have always ended up in other hotels...last time in Grand Centara at CentralWorld. But my impression is that both hotels that you mention is not that close to a skytrain/subway. But it should not be a problem and I'm sure that both hotels are lovely. Here is my Bangkok trip report with pictures and links from 2007 http://gardkarlsen.com/Bangkok_trip_report_2007.htm . Maybe you can find some useful info there
Get in touch if you have any questions.
Regards
