While I haven't heard anything, I'm in BKK right now. Passing by the Hilton, it's almost complete. It seems the lower floors (shops?) are still being completed and covered with a plastic tarp.
However, the location is pretty bad. It's on the east side of the Chao Phraya and you'll have to use the cross-river ferry to get to the Tha Tien river station (by Wat Pho), then use another ferry to get to the Central Pier and connect to the Skytrain. While the cost for these ferries are negligible, it seems it will waste a lot of time. Perhaps the Hilton will have it's own ferry boat (a la Oriental) and send it's passengers back and forth from Central Pier?
