Scene
The grandness displayed outside via huge white pillars is continued inside, with a magnificent lobby complete with its own trees.
Located right in the heart of the center of Bangkok’s booming Central Business District, the 380-room Grand Hyatt Erawan impresses in every aspect that a five-pearl business hotel should. One thing that particularly stands out in this Grand Hyatt is the way the hotel has made its interiors look authentically Thai. Hyatts are known for bringing an original, authentic touch of the local culture, food and customs into the mix -- and this one is no exception.The Grand Hyatt is known as the Erawan because it's located right next to the Erawan Shine (Than Tao Mahaprom). The lobby is particularly grand, with ultra-high ceilings and a dramatic staircase with ivory-white balustrades leading onto a mezzanine, where guests can gaze down onto the bustling scene below. There are curves and arches everywhere, and trees have been brought inside to seamlessly blend the outdoors and indoors.
Location
Located right near Siam Square and with walking distance of Lamphini Park
The hotel has a great location, especially for shopping: The Siam Paragon, Siam Square, Narai Phand, The Platinum Shopping Center, CentralWorld, and Gaysorn Plaza are all within walking distance. The BTS Skytrain is minutes from the lobby door and is a handy metro line that can take guests all over Bangkok.For culture vultures, The Grand Palace and the Emerald Buddha are both about 25 minutes from the hotel on the bus. Superb street food can be found at Sukhumvit Soi 38 night market -- 30 minutes away on the sky train. The street is packed with hawkers selling local delicacies, such as mango sticky rice, pad thai, and fresh coconut water. Lumphini Park is a 20-minute stroll from the hotel and is a tranquil spot with trees, playgrounds, and an artificial lake where visitors can rent boats to sail across the water.
Rooms
Rooms feel luxurious with decor that mixes antique furnishings with modern amenities.
There are numerous room categories here, but Grand Club rooms -- located between the 16th and the 18th floors -- are some of the most luxurious. These sit on the exclusive executive floors, which have their own express check in/check-out at the level 17 reception (which also houses the Grand Club). The Grand Hyatt is also the only hotel that has six Spa Cottages within it. These are six separate cottages set around a private courtyard that have their own bathrooms, steam rooms, massage tables, double beds, rainfall showers, grand living rooms, and even private patios set into landscaped gardens. The area is meant to be a retreat in the city -- a calm oasis that also benefits from the close proximity to the hotel's swimming pool. The Spa Cottages also have automatic electric toilets with heated seats. The interior decor in all rooms features a blend of antique furniture with modern amenities, and all-marble bathrooms include luxe toiletries and extra perks like gloriously soft Thai silk slippers and silk bathrobes. Rooms have separate showers, walk-in closets, large desks with enhanced work lighting, free high-speed Wi-Fi, and king beds with luxury linens and plush duvets. Additional amenities include bottles of free mineral water, welcome fruit, fitness center access, and 24-hour laundry and valet service (for a fee).
