Stayed there last August, w/ spire elite. Booked with points and don't know if my room was Executive vs. Club vs. whatever.

Was given free breakfast (for 3) and offered welcome drinks (don't think we ever used). I thought they might have given me lounge access, but wasn't paying attention and never tried to enter. Maybe it was breakfast OR lounge?

Personally, there are plenty other places I would rather spend my time in Bangkok, so I wasn't paying attention.

This was more generous than the Holiday Inn up the street (Soi 22, not next door). They offered an upgraded room and a discount on breakfast (40% maybe, I forget). The upgraded room was remarkably small, especially for such a new hotel, assumed it was an "upgrade" due to higher floor.
