A deluxe class resort hotel in the heart of Bangkok offering a magnificent view over the River of Kings and the Bangkok City Skyline.
Location The hotel is elegantly situated on the banks of the famous Chao Phraya River. Easily accessible from the international airport via the new Expressway, the hotel is minutes away from Bangkok's famous shopping and entertainment on Silom Street. River transportation from the hotel's pier to Grand Palace, Wat Arun Temple of Dawn, Snake Farm as well as connections to shopping centres and other hotels along the river is available.
Rooms All 550 guestrooms and suites are decorated in Contemporary Thai style, tastefully furnished with carpets, double glazed windows and well equipped facilities.
Restaurant The hotel offers various restaurants and bars. You can make your own choices with the fine cuisine in a pleasant atmosphere overlooking the River of Kings. A great choice of eating options, excellent buffet lunches, seafood dinners and gourmet dining in outdoor settings is available.
General The conference and banquet facilities combined with the Riverside Terraces gives you a choice of 12 air-conditioned function rooms. Weddings in Western or traditional Thai style are also available for an unforgettable, most beautiful day of your life. Furthermore, recreational options include an outdoor pool, jacuzzi, health club, sauna, gymnasium, spa treatments and much more.
This hotel is really good value for money and although it is not exactly in a popular tourist location, it is conveniently connected to the city by its very efficient ferry service to the terminal station of the SkyTrain which itself is only three or four stations away from the centre of activities. It has got a spectacular view of the Menam River, and great for the traveller who opts for some peace and quiet.
The breakfast was excellent and truly international.
The hotel will assume a new brand name under Ramada from September 2008 and I hope this could only mean maintaining excellence rather than over-standardization.

Good base for Bangkok.
Just outside the main sweep of the Chao Phraya river ferry, but the hotel runs a free half-hourly boat shuttle to Central Pier (for ferry and skytrain).
Nice bar, good pool, gym if feeling energetic, great breakfast buffet and good evening restaurant. Food and drink prices what you would expect - high for Bangkok standards but standard for a good hotel.
