Luxury Club Room

What can I say? It's my favourite hotel in Bangkok and I love coming back. So I'll keep this short and sharp and give an update of how the hotel has been so far.

Check In

Upon arrival at the hotel, we were directed up to Club Millésime for Check-In. As we knew we were going to arrive around 10am, I sent an email to the hotel requesting for Early Check-In and the Director of Rooms, whom I met during my previous stayed took care of my request. Thus, check-in was super smooth and I got 1 of the 2 rooms I booked immedietly upon arrival.( Hotel was genuinely full the night before).

Room

The hotel allocated us the same room as our previous stay since we did feedback that it was our favourite room. It's a corner room located on the 29th floor (2901) and I notice it tends to be slight bigger by a few Sqm comapred to other rooms.

With regards to the second room (2902), it was located directly next to us with interconnecting doors. As you can see, the room is slightly narrower and smaller in size, but of course, still very comfortable.

The rooms are well appointed with the usual Sofitel MyBed with Pillow Menu, large work desk, comfortable sofas, Bose Surround Sound system, fully stocked mini bar and a huge bathroom with Hermés amenities.

In addtion, the hotel provides a menu beside your bed which you can order compliemntary bath treatments such as Soothing Bath and Bubble Bath with the additon of paid baths which can be done in your room or at the spa.

Service

Well, what can I say, we are in Thailand, the Land of Smiles. So service here is excellent and without a doubt, one of the best I will ever receive as I freankly know some of them for a few year already. 

Service at the Lobby was defeinly more interactive than my previous, thus a great improvement there. 

Additionally, the staff at LeSpa and SoFit are amazing. The therapists at the spa are well trained and excellent should you want to pamper yourself to one of their expensieve treatments :P

The Personal Trainer at the gym is a nice addtion to the hotel. Not many hotels offer a Personal Trainer but with him around, you are assured a good time at the gym. He ensures safety is conformed to always and helps you should you need some advice. He also upkeeps the gym very well as there was never a time a towel, bottle of water or some fruits was ever missing. Thus, it was indeed a good experience while exercising at the gym.

Furthermore, due to my previous stay, I was in constant contact with the Director of Rooms who ensured my stay was near perfect. She arranged a surprise (Welcome Amenity) for us in both rooms and also wanted my thoughts of the Amenity and should they implement it. Please see the two photos below and see which you prefer. Personally, I voted for the Photo 2.

Club Millésime

Club Millésime is located on the 31st Floor offering guest towering views over the surrounding areas. Service here is top notch without a doubt. As I have been staying here almost everytime I visit Bangkok, staff here do remember me and thus, treat us like family. 

All I can say is this, if you are considering to book the Club room, I'll definitely recommend it. 

Club Millésime benefits are as follows

  • Complimentary Breakfast from 6:30am to 10:30am (weekdays) and 6:30am to 11:00am (weekends) at both Club Lounge and Voila Restaurant.
  • Complimentary "Le Gouter" (Afternoon Tea) between 2pm and 4pm 
  • Complimentary "Chic Aperitif" (Evening Millésime Cocktails) from 5pm to 7pm
  • Refreshments (Coffee, Tea, Mineral Water and Soft drinks) throughout the day
  • Complimentary Late Check-Out until 16:00Hrs (Subject to avaliabilty)
  • Complimentary regualr spped internet access
  • 2 Hours free use of Club Millésime meeting room per day
  • Complimentary Local telephone calls
  • Selection of International and Local Newpapers at the Lounge
  • Personalized Butler Service
  • Complimentary Pressings service for maximum of two pieces per stay.

 *Do note that they have shifted the Evening Cocktails from the main lounge area to the lounge dining area (same place you have breakfast). However not to worry as you can still sit at the main lounge area, just that you have to walk further to get the food.

Dining

Breakfast at Club Lounge

As with most hotels, buffet spread at the Club Lounge is relatively small compared to the main buffet restaurant. At the lounge, its more quiter with personalised service being the key point. The main breakfast items will be done "À la minute" while the usual salads, cereals, breads and cold cuts will be placed at the small & simple buffet line. 

Food was excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed my brekafast everyday. As you can see from the picture below, one of the staff made me a personalized Latte with art.

Location

Excellent, hotel is located between 2 BTS Station and 1 MRT station. So its quite easy to make this hotel a base to travel around Bangkok. Also, there is a 7-Eleven lcoated next door to the hotel and a 2 min walk to a pharmacy near-by. Supermarket is located 4 mins away under Robinsons Department store. Thus, hotel's location is good.

 

Overall

Overall, I would definitely recommend the hotel to my friends and family (Which I already did and have many friends staying here already). Good hotel, good location, good service. I am always coming back here! Magnifique stay indeed.
