Stats

We were guests for three nights at the FS Bangkok. The best luxury value in downtown Bangkok, the Four Seasons was originally built 31 years ago as a Peninsula. Its lobby resembles the Peninsula Hong Kong and features beautiful hand-painted ceilings and an amazing mural on the grand staircase. Branded as a Regent shortly after it opened, the hotel became a FS following the purchase of the Regent chain by Four Seasons.

Four Seasons has the largest footprint of any hotel in Bangkok, the hotel’s central wing flanked by two wings built around courtyards. With a total of 354 rooms, it is larger than most FS properties. Lead-in Deluxe rooms are better proportioned than those at the neighboring St. Regis; they are a bit wider with better closet space. Deluxe View rooms are identical in size and layout but feature views of the Sports Club. Being an older hotel, however, bathrooms are not as as up-to-date. Deluxe rooms have just a single vanity, bathtub, step-in shower, and toilet (not in a WC). The single vanity should not be an issue if you're on business traveling alone.

Room

The hotel has recently been renovated; guest rooms are styled with dark wood, textured wall treatments, and decorative panels behind the beds, all of which creates an attractive Asian feel. Rooms are decorated in one of two color schemes, red/orange/yellow and purple/green/yellow, both of which I found attractive.

Beginning with the Jr. Suite category, bathrooms have dual vanities and a separate WC.

Executive Suites are larger than Jr. Suite with 1.5 baths and a door between the bedroom and living room. This level and above enjoy Club privileges.

For a real WOW, consider the Jim Thompson Suite (named after silk designer Jim Thompson). A 2 BR Suite on the 8th floor overlooking the Sports Club, this suite has British Colonial styling — painted wooden ceilings and walls — creating a very residential feel. I am told that this is Hillary’s favorite suite.

Dining

The hotel has a great restaurant - Spice Market, a spa, and a very large outdoor pool; Cabana rooms have direct access to the pool area.
