The St Regis has been taking bookings for about a week now. They have released what appears to be an opening special rate of 7300++, and have plenty of availability for award rooms using points.
But, they have not yet released any Cash & Points bookings.
If you ask me, 12,000 points a night for a $250 room is too much. I wonder if they'll be able to hold the room prices that high?

If cash and points becomes available I'll be all over that at 4800 starpoints and 90 bucks. Basically 4300 for a one night stay when factoring in the plat amenity.

Other signs that this hotel is progressing to its opening date: Its employees were seen busy working at the construction site:

Also, many others with the same shirts were observed at the ROS where two rooms on the 10th floor near the elevators one marked "ST. Regis Executive" and the second "St. Regis Food & Beverage":

I have one night booked at the 7300++ rate, which includes an upgrade (which I think is probably redundant as Plat), and a choice of either breakfast for 2 or dinner for 2, plus 1000 TB credit at the spa.
1. Do you think this hotel will be ready to deliver on April 3, which is my last night in BKK?
2. Does the quality of a St. Regis, or this one in particular (never have stayed in one) really justify the price differential over the other BKK properties?

I have a booking for the 23rd April (so hopefully it is actually open by then). I got a very attractive Corporate rate using a client's SET, in fact it was cheaper than my previous stays at the SGS.

That's about the time I'm in BKK, too. I'm hoping the St Regis opens up C&P, just to get the buzz going. ^

April 1st and 2nd in St Regis BKK
Hi-
How much of a risk is it for us to book opening night at the St Regis in BKK- in terms of service and chance it will open on time?

C&P is wide open for April and May.
Further update: C&P is wide open for the rest of the year! ^

Those are about the only 3 nights that don't have C&P. Some people just get lucky.

I was by there about a week ago.
They have quite a way to go before it is in shape to open.
If I was a betting man, I wouldn't be betting on a hard 01 April opening date. If soft, it's going to be very soft.
