Location is really not bad. Haagen Dazs is almost right next door (lol).

Thanks for that Bob. Still deliberating my hotel in BKK when I am there in Aug. Must have though are super close to sky train.... How does this one compare?

On the other side of the road from the IC and about 50M down the driveway Nicky.

Smeagol Jun 2nd, 2011 11:50 AM

So good location then? I do like the 2500 bht price tag.....

Smeagol Jun 2nd, 2011 12:20 PM

Ok just checked this out and it does look like a fantastic deal! Anyone any knowledge of this hotel? Pook, my kind of place??

The location is very acceptable. I've not been inside of it, but I stay at Renaissance Hotels in Zurich, Amsterdam, OHare Airport (park sleep fly rates), etc. I do like them.

Thank you for this wonderful tip, rhkkmk. I just cancelled our Courtyard Bangkok reservations, July 3-6, and booked this fantastic Renaissance deal. We'll be coming back through Bangkok after 3 weeks in Koh Samui.

Question for you regulars: Restaurants in the area or along the BTS? On past trips we always hit Baan Khanitha (liked the old location on Ruam Ruadee) and Harmonique. We have three nights in Bangkok on this upcoming trip-- suggestions, please? Looking for Thai and/or Indian. FACE looks good?

Thanks ALL.

Ps. I always enjoy and often times use your Tips/Suggestions, etc. -- because of them, we've booked Adelphi (love it!) and ROS (my fav!) in the past.

rhkkmk Jun 2nd, 2011 08:13 PM

for a splurge--biscotti (italian) in the four seasons


i have a rest. listing for bkk if you want it....ask at [email protected] and i will send it to you... quite a few along sukhumvit which is easy for you...

face bar, thai, soi 39 sukhumvit
crepes and co, soi 16 or 18? sukhumvit---swiss
several very good restaurants along soi langsuan, near to your hotel

you will love this location and i am anxious to hear about the hotel....come back and tell us please

Smeagol Jun 2nd, 2011 09:53 PM

I am going to book this today. Not going to bother with the club room just a regular, includes breakfast, free wifi 30% off spa treatments, early and late check in/out £118 for 2 nights!!!!
Thanks Bob for the tip. I had planned to book the IC with the friends and family rate but this is even better deal....don't feel so bad about upgrading my room in Bagan now.....

Smeagol Jun 2nd, 2011 09:54 PM

Oh just to add for anyone interested you have to book the summer special and prepay by June 7th.

simpsonc510 Jun 3rd, 2011 04:54 AM

David, Kinarree on Sukhumvit soi 8 (not very far down the soi from BTS at Nana) is always good. I like the ambiance as well. It is Thai. The place is like a house and it sits back from the soi, down a 'driveway' of sorts. It's on the left side.

Face is also good. I've not been there for a few years.

For good people watching, and good food, also on soi 8 there is Via Vai/White Bar for Italian and Monsoon at Adelphi Suites hotel lobby for a variety menu. These both have nice outside dining terraces if the weather is good. I eat at both of these all the time.

Smeagol,

The Thai Paparazzi are ready for you as they are expecting that you will be accompanied by Harry.

SueHuml Jun 3rd, 2011 07:09 AM

You do find some good deals Bob. Only wish I was planning a 2011 trip to BKK in order to use this one. I know your next trip is in Oct, will you be able to use this one?

rhkkmk Jun 3rd, 2011 07:07 PM

normally i would use it, but we want to stay once more at the riverside marriott before it converts to an anantara in november...

i have wanted to try it for the last year, but never had the chance or found a good price for it...

Smeagol Jun 4th, 2011 04:25 AM

Thanks again Bob, I have made my reservation 5793 bht total 2 nights with all the inlcusions as per above. Chuffed with this rate. Will let you know what it's like. Had to prepay but for that price I expect to.

Smeagol Jun 4th, 2011 04:26 AM

BTW Pook I thought I only had to worry about the papa when I was out with you, Dang and Mony !

Smeagol Jun 4th, 2011 04:27 AM

Of course that should say paps damn this iPad keyboard.....

Amazing property with an excellent location. We stayed there last December and with such a low rate, you cannot go wrong here ... see my review with photos here: http://milepoint.com/forums/threads/...ong-hotel.835/
