This is a hotel that is barely 1 month old when I stayed on the start of May and I was probably one of the first to stay in my room. There are still some teething issues from pre opening but the service and the F&B is excellent.

Checked in as gold as a award stay but wasn’t upgraded although the hotel didn’t feel very full

Executive lounge is very good is and you get a simple lunch (3 mains in the live station to choose from and a number of starters, salads and desserts) instead of high tea similar to Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park:

Breakfast 0630 to 1030
Light Lunch 1200 to 1400
Hor d’oeuvres and desserts 1730 to 2030
Open Bar 1730 to 2030


Breakfast option was only in the lounge but I managed to get it in the restaurant as they are still in the pre opening stage. But I guess moving forward it will be lounge only as per Marquis since it’s the same owner.

Location will however be a challenge. (I am not penalising this as I booked the hotel knowing it is not close to any BTS or MRT and I tend to agree with the others that this is not ideal for a first timer in Bangkok.)
The property is progressively rolling out a shuttle bus service to BTS so it should be more convenient as time goes by.
