Scene
Hotel is slightly dated, but is in a convenient location
Some of the decor seems to carry over from the hotel’s opening in 1971. Pink, black, and white tiled floors adorn the yellow-lighted lobby, while the Sala Thai restaurant has wood
carved ceilings, parquet floors, and old-style chandeliers. Carved walls are also
in the Botanica restaurant, which has large floor-to-ceiling windows and an illuminated tray ceiling. Some of the restaurants have updated seating, but the carpets
appear to be past their prime. Chandeliers, swirling carpet, and Thai
artwork are in the common areas, but the design, while once impressive, today looks dated. Most of the
hotel is dimly lit, but the spa is bright with modern bowl
sinks and new light tile flooring. A McDonald’s, KFC, and other shops contribute to the nearby congestion, and noise and traffic sounds reverberate throughout the hotel.
Location
Located in the bustling Pratunam Market
With a central location in the Pratunam Market area, the Indra Regent Hotel sits in a prime area, but busy traffic noise can be heard throughout the hotel. Shops and restaurants sit right below the property, and many sights are within
walking distance, including the Baiyoke Tower II, Erawan Shrine, Pantip Plaza, and Platinum Fashion
Mall. Siam Square, the MBK Center, and Siam
Paragon Mall are within a 10-minute walk, and public transportation is nearby.

the seating areas offer comfort. Upgraded rooms have separate soaking tubs
and glassed-in showers with a powder room, while Standard Rooms have shower/tub combos and basic white tile. Larger rooms come with robes and slippers. All bathrooms have speckled gray countertops and come with toiletries. Guests have complained about street noise and bugs in the rooms.
