I had a fine experience recently in Bangkok at the Park Hyatt in an executive suite. However, similar to Vuitton's note about 137 Pillars, the pool is an infinity pool on the 9th floor so if someone is afraid of heights, they wouldn't want to use it. The hotel is connected to a luxury mall which is in turn connected to a mid-range mall. Through the luxury mall, it's a short walk on elevated walkways to a SkyTrain station. Hotel design is by Yabu Pushelberg.

Have the rates come down, or have they been able to hold at their opening pricing levels?

I don't know, I paid the regular room rate and they were kind enough to upgrade me several levels.

Icon Siam is truly an eyesore. Somehow the building is worse than the LED boards on the construction barrier!

Our favorite it's just the one you saw from your balcony......The Peninsula going there 3-4 times per years since 2003 and always perfect.

A Variety of Stays

Last week I stayed at the Le Meridien and the W. Previously the Hilton Millenium, the Shangri-la, the Royal Orchid, the Dusit Thani, the Renaissance, and, in earlier poorer years, a variety of others. No hotel took better care of me than the W. The Le Meridien is very nice, very comfortable. The Shangri-la was a wonder. The Dusit Thani is closing, and I have nothing very good to say about the Royal Orchid. Neutral on the Renaissance.
Given the nice room, and the very personal attention, the W would be my choice in Bangkok.

For even better service beyond - they know how to take care of guests discreetly , celebrity , royalty or not ..
You should stay at MOBKK then if you have not !!
Perhaps the Pen or The Siam ? & ..

137 Pillars just looks visually stunning to me (and I am a pool lover so thats likely driving my desire to stay). It looks like a Park Hyatt (one of the better ones) on steroids.

Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but Rosewood is now bookable at sub-10k THB from April onwards. Quite competitive rates and I'm happy they didn't go in too high.
