Peninsula vs Sheraton

Let me vote for staying in the Towers at the Royal Orchid Sheraton. The pampering there is amazing. You have 24 hour butler service, and get breakfast in the club as well as drinks and hors d'ouvres in the evening. The Towers beat out the Oriental for service a few years back (They are always competing with each other in that category.) The Pensula is very nice, I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed there, but the level of service is not as personal as that in the Towers.

So...the answer is, you can't go wrong either way. This makes it more difficult actually-- I guess I should just base my decision purely on the cost. I think Peninsula is cheaper than Sheraton Tower, altho I'll check into my Sheraton points to see if I can upgrade.

if anybody is interested.. <BR>Peninsula from Circleofasia.com is $124 per night (inclusive of tax etc) which is a good deal. I could not find that good a discount for Sheraton Towers--where I did find the cheapest rate was actually from Sheraton. I redeemed those United Airline 50% discount coupons (that's been accumulating).. was able to get a room in the Tower for $130!!! cheaper than from any other site.<BR><BR>

The Pen by a long shot. It's really good, and if you're going in off-peak season (not Xmas) it has terrific rates. Rooms are large and service is very good. Of the Sheratons I would really stay (if I had to) at the Grande Sukhumvit - not on the river but in the centre of the city and quite nice. Forget the other Sheraton - on the river the Pen, the Oriental and even the Shangri-La are much better !
