Popular with both tourists and Japanese business travelers, the Crowne Plaza Bangkok
Lumpini is conveniently located in the Silom business district, near the lively Patpong night market. The upscale chain hotel has 241 clean and
comfortable rooms with minimal decor, located above the 23rd floor of a skyscraper in Silom. Club-level rooms include access to the club lounge, with free breakfast, afternoon
tea, and happy hour with snacks. The hotel has a Cantonese restaurant serving food
prepared by a former Thailand Iron Chef Champion, as well as a deli with an outdoor annex and the casual, all-day Panorama Restaurant, with city views. There is also a bar with rooftop views, a small
fitness center, and a spa. The outdoor pool area is particularly pleasant, but
the shaded sundeck doesn't allow for much sunbathing. Overall, it's a solid, upscale property with often reasonable prices, but it doesn't live up to its five-star rating.

Scene
High-rise chain hotel catering to business travelers
On the 23rd floor of a skyscraper in Bangkok's business
district, the Crowne Plaza Bangkok Lumpini Park has an atrium-style lobby overlooked by hallways from the floors above, with glass
elevators. Despite its high ceiling, the lobby feels a bit dark, with plenty of traditional Thai artwork and accent pieces, as well as a number of banquettes and armchairs for relaxing and catching up. The Japanese-speaking
guest relations staff makes it easier for Japanese business travelers to
check-in, and the overall atmosphere caters to the needs of the many regular business
guests, especially in the Club Lounge, which is open only to those staying
in the club-level rooms. Inside the sleek lounge, several seating areas of modern, taupe chairs and wooden tables give plenty of space to enjoy the many perks. The outdoor roof pool deck is probably the hotel's most pleasant communal space, with potted tropical plants, carved stone walls, and pillars flanking the pool.
Location
On a major street in Bangkok's central Silom business district, near Lumpini Park and both subway and skytrain stops
Located
on a major street in Bangkok's central Silom business district, the Crowne Plaza Bangkok Lumpini Park is just down the block from sprawling Lumpini Park, filled with jogging paths, playgrounds, and a lake. The area is busy, and is especially convenient for business travelers. It's also a short walk to the night markets in Patpong, a red-light district popular with tourists for its go-go bars and sex shows. The
hotel is within walking distance of a shopping mall, as well as both subway and skytrain stops. The airport
is 35 miles away. The hotel provides free parking.
Rooms
Clean, comfortable rooms with city or park views have simple (bordering on bland), chain-like decor.
The rooms at the Crowne Plaza Bangkok Lumpini Park are clean and comfortable, typical of a high-end chain hotel, but a bit minimalist and dated in style, with gold-framed prints, taupe sofas and armchairs, wooden furnishings, and Thai accent pieces. Some have been more recently updated though, and the furniture has cleaner lines. All rooms have light-colored walls and
carpeting, desks with ergonomic chairs, and windows offering city or park views (these are not for those afraid of heights, though). There are also flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi for IHG members (incurs a fee for non-members), minibars with sodas and alcohol, coffee- and tea-making facilities, and
robes and slippers. Marble bathrooms have Japanese warming toilets, jetted soaking tubs, signature toiletries, and separate showers.
Features
Everything expected from a high-end business hotel: four restaurants, plus a panoramic-view bar, club lounge, outdoor pool, spa, sauna, fitness center, and 11 meeting rooms
The Crowne Plaza Bangkok Lumpini Park has an outdoor pool and hot tub surrounded by a
shaded sun deck topped with lounge chairs. There is also a small fitness center with a sauna, as well as a spa that offers facials and massages. Iron Chef Thailand Champion and Master Chinese Chef Lam Kok Weng prepares meals at the popular Cantonese restaurant, Xin Tian Di; the hotel also has a more casual all-day restaurant with panoramic views, a ground-floor deli
that serves breakfast and lunch (with an outdoor deck that serves dinner), and a rooftop bar. Those staying in the club-level rooms have access to a spacious Club Lounge, with free breakfast, afternoon tea, and happy hour with appetizers. There is also a flower shop at
the hotel, and 11 meeting and event spaces are available.
