Thanks for your participation here so far. The offer to view the suites is also appreciated.

If I could make a suggestion. When you update and change the promotions on your thread (above), it would be very useful if, at the same time as editing the initial first post, you also added the same information as a new post at the bottom of the thread.

Many of us subscribe to that thread. An edit to the initial post would not automatically generate an email to us. By adding it as a new post, we receive a FlyerTalk thread update message to our emails that contains the new post(s).

Of course, having it also in the first post makes it easier to find.

do the rooms have dvd players ? what about ipod connectivity ?

Plaza Athenee, BKK (Starwood)

We've had another look at our system - it should be possible to make bookings now. We did have limited availability for some time because September we tend to have more groups.

Best regards,
Plaza Athenee, BKK (Starwood)

Plaza Athenee, BKK (Starwood)

Our Royal Club rooms and Deluxe Suites, as well as rooms on our Preferred Floor all have DVD players - iPod connectivity is not yet possible, but we will hopefully have the opportunity to look into it as part of our potential future enhancements.

Plaza Athenee, BKK (Starwood)

Thank you for the feedback, seanthepilot. We will make sure we do what you described above going forward.

I intend to book 6 nights (Royal Club) with the 1+1 promo.
As a SPG Gold, should I expect any specific benefit (extra vodka )?

Nope, since you'll book Le Royal club you'll get great benefits: a very well appointed room, 2 pieces of laundry, breakfast in buffet or lounge, lounge access all day, etc.

Enjoy, and make sure you get one of the hotel's cards for the taxi. We were very surprised how many taxis didn't know where the hotel was.

I see now that this great promotion is available through the starwoodhotels.com website.
I booked two rooms through spg.com and could not find it!!
I am quite dismayed as I booked a non-refundable, fully prepaid rate.
Waiting for feedback from brg.
I think it is quite unreasonable they list the offer on starwoodhotels.com and not on spg.com!!!
Let you know what happens- my rate is 50% more plus it does not include free breakfast.

When I go to SPG.com I get redirected to https://www.starwoodhotels.com/prefe...est/index.html

Same website.

You cannot find the offer unless you use the above link in post #121.

All resolved by the great service people at the Plaza Athenee.
By the way the SPG BRG response didn't really make sense to me as it seems to contradict itself- if they guarantee the best rate why did I have to write to the hotel to actually get it (if someone can make sense of the text below it would be wonderful):

"Thank you for your interest in The Starwood Best Rate Guarantee Program. I welcome this opportunity to assist you.

Starwood guarantees that Starwood-branded websites will have the best room rate for any Starwood branded hotels ('Best Rate Guarantee'). The Starwood Best Rate Guarantee does not apply if the Competing Rate is found on a Starwood-branded Website.
As both the rates you have submitted were found on a Starwood Branded website we are unable to approve your Best Rate Guarantee Claim."

Just completed a 14-day leisure stay at the Athenee, what a wonderful experience.

Other than a few business meetings early in my stay, this was my first trip to BKK where I would have the large majority of my time for leisure. Having done all the major things during past trips, I largely wanted to just relax and reward myself for the successful conclusion of a six-year project.

The staff at the Athenee proved excellent in helping me do exactly that.

I would start the day with a wonderful breakfast in the Raintree cafe, comp'ed as part of the hotel's platinum recognition, then, weather permitting, get some hints from the staff or the concierge on where to go or what to see. Weather not permitting (and this is the rainy season), I'd hole up in my room and watch a movie or two. With the black-out curtains in the bedroom of the suite, comfortable chair w/ ottoman, and flat-panel HDTV, it was a pretty good way to catch up on movies I'd wanted to see. And, this being Bangkok, $3 will get you pretty much any movie in most any major tourist area.

But this is not a trip report, so back to the Athenee:

Leisure hint: google Bangkok movie VIP seating to learn about BKK's luxury theaters. (or, just ask the PA concierge, who can make the needed reservation for you. ^)

Conclusion: thanks, PA, for a great, affordable extended holiday experience!

Hi TRAVELSIG,

"Competing" rates here refer to those provided by non-Starwood sites.

In addition, I believe to compare two different rates, these rates have to be available to the public. In this instance, the rate supplied by the property might be an individual rate(this has not been detailed) given upon your request.

BRG would not be applicable if it is this case.

Hope this helps.
