I am now writing this at Plaza Athenee roomXX01.
Since I stay for only 1 night, I said at check in couner any room was fine.
The lady checked PC and said she would try best available room for me. She gave me xx01 which I have stayed before.
This corner 1 bedroom suite is one of my favorite room at Plaza Athenee.
You can look down US ammbasador residence( a lot of green area) with tall buildings behind.
I usually do not care the view in Bangkok, but this is beautiful.

As everybody knew, the lounge on 26th fl is so spacious.
Not too many people all the time at lounge ,which is good for us, but maybe not good for the hotel.
Once I used my PC at lounge with free internet.
After I came back to my room, the net was still connectred without any additional charge(usually 600 bahts).
I felt I was cheating/stealing, but it is convenient not to need to go lounge for connection.

Since my plan include eat/drink up to the room charge, I went to Chinese.
It seemed French restaurante had some kind of group party there.
I will have Japanese lunch tomorrow(Breakfast is included for Platinum members).

Anyway, it was exellent service and room/lounge as usual.
I am going to Westin tonight.
I like the location of Westin BKK and SGS compared to Plaza Athenee, however, the plaza athenee had better lounge/view/room and breakfast(same as SGS).
