This high-rise hotel has a distinctive pyramid shape that makes it immediately identifiable. The reception area, where a sunken lounge overlooks a small garden and waterfall, is one floor up. Rooms here are spacious, especially the high-price suites. The Dusit's proximity to the Skytrain and subway stations makes it a convenient base for exploring the city. It's also across the street from Lumphini Park, Bangkok's best public park. The pool is in a central courtyard filled with trees, making it a peaceful oasis from the heat and humidity. The Devarana Spa offers an impressive menu of treatments from herbal steam baths to body scrubs with unusual ingredients to a signature massage that combines several different styles including Thai massage. The hotel's popular Chinese restaurant, Mayflower, is worth a visit even if you don't stay here. Pros: delicious Chinese restaurant; a stone's throw from subway and Skytrain stations. Cons: small pool; feels past its prime.
