Novotel Bangkok Fenix Silom
Check-in was fast and friendly Was given an upgrade to the 20th floor, which is the top floor of the hotel. Was given a drink voucher also.
The room was nice, all the amenities one needs. TV, wifi, minibar, safe, the bed was very comfortable. A large walk-in shower with plenty of towels.
Breakfast was included in the room rate, large breakfast room with many choices of foods to choose from. There was a special dining area set aside for Accor members
There was nothing much to say about the lobby, fairly basic, lots of tourists lounging about. It is about a ten minute walk to the river and the ferry system and also to the BTS skytrain station.
All of the employees I came in contact with were polite and friendly I would definitely stay here again

Hopefully, you can re-book if you want to, even if on a prepaid rate.
It will probably charge more as a Hilton. With Accor, it was occupying the low end of the market as a Novotel with a closed lounge. Mb as a Hilton it will play up it's location more being next to the Maggie Choo nightclub.

stayed there once; Accor has plenty of better properties in Bangkok to choose from
good location though for those, who like to commute on the river. Accor has now nothing left close to the river except an Ibis....

I've decided to keep the booking. On looking more closely I remembered I'd booked a suite, at a very good rate and with breakfast included, because I knew I'd be dropping to Accor Gold and can no longer expect an upgrade. So the experience won't be very different and the handful of ALL points I'll miss out on won't significantly delay my return to Platinum.
I'll report back here if (A) I remember and (B) the thread has been moved to Hilton by then.

Indeed. Still, if looking for anything more than the Ibis (which is not in a particularly great position by the river), I’d easily go for Shangri-La, Mandarin Oriental, Millennium Hilton, Anantara or Sheraton despite no loyalty affiliation.

The lowest I'm seeing though is $74++ in late Jan. on a HHonors member advanced purchase rate. Thanks.
