Conrad Bangkok

After a brief half-hour drive into Bangkok, we arrived at our overnight stop at the Conrad. Our bags were whisked out of the vehicle by waiting staff members, and we proceeded to the front desk to check in. The stunning lobby is several stories high, and our post-midnight arrival unfortunately meant that it was full of extraordinarily loud live music coming in from the bar.



I smiled and nodded at everything the check-in agent said to me, even though I couldn’t hear a word of it, and we got our keys to head to our room on the 27th floor.



Nice room, though I don’t believe it was an upgrade over the base room at all.







The bathroom featured both a rainfall shower and an oversized bathtub.





Bath amenities were Shanghai Tang-branded.



Even with a fifteen-hour time change and a very long day of traveling, we managed to sleep like a pair of logs until the morning, when we opened the curtains on the haze of Bangkok.



In the morning, we went down to breakfast at the main hotel restaurant “Cafe@2”. We had to stand in line for ten or 15 minutes to get in, but we eventually made it to the buffet. And what a spread it was!



















After breakfast, we took a look around the pool and the grounds, which are both gorgeous and seven stories about the actual ground on the roof of the hotel’s convention area.











The review

As I understand it, Bangkok is a market full of luxury hotels at very cheap prices. This hotel was quite nice, but I have to imagine one can do even better with a bit of looking. I’ll probably go somewhere else next time.
