The upper-middle-range Legacy Suites Bangkok consists of stylish apartment-style suites with kitchenettes. It has a central location in Sukhumvit but is nestled on a dead-end
street that receives little noise or traffic. Bathrooms have soaking tubs and glassed-in showers. Extras like
bathrobes, slippers, and washers/dryers are also available. A major highlight of the Legacy Suites is the blue tile outdoor pool that has a kids' area and a whirlpool; many hotels at this price point don't have a pool at all. There's also a rooftop sports field and a fitness
center with a wide range of cardio and weight-training equipment, and a business center. Breakfast is included in the room rate, and in-room Wi-Fi is free, but guests complain about the slow connection. Still, for a hotel with this many features and extras, rates are competitive for what you get, even for Bangkok.
Scene
An intimate, modern hotel/apartment complex
Part hotel, part local apartment complex,
the Legacy Suites Bangkok feels more like a private residence than a tourist
hotel. Located on a quiet, dead-end street, the hotel is a bit of an oasis. A lovely fountain at the entrance
reflects the hotel's vibe, and the lobby's wall of windows make the space feel larger than it is. Black-and-white striped floors lead to the wooden front desk, and tan couches and red leather
armchairs provide comfortable seating. Free newspapers are plentiful, but Wi-Fi in the common areas is not free. The restaurant has red and yellow
chairs, and floor-to-ceiling windows illuminate the room. Tan
tile floors and big white light fixtures create a modern vibe. There's also an
outdoor area with orange chairs and green landscaping.
Location
Serene yet central in Sukhumvit
Although the Legacy Suites Bangkok is in
a crowded neighborhood full of high-end shops, restaurants, and bars, the hotel
itself resides in a quiet pocket. The Emporium Shopping Complex, Phrom Phong
BTS station, and Terminal 21 Shopping Mall are within walking distance, while Pratunam Market, the MBK Center, and Siam Square are within a
15-minute drive. Public transportation connects to most popular sights.
Rooms
Trendy with kitchenettes and separate tubs/showers, and some nice extras
Although there are no great views from
the rooms, they are all exceptionally quiet. Light wood
floors are covered with neutral striped area rugs, while purple bed runners and green headboards provide pops of color. Abstract art hangs over the beds, and
green or tan couches add extra seating. The 32-inch flat-screen TVs are built
into the wall units with storage below, while two soft chairs and a wooden table
provide a place to eat meals. Each room has a kitchenette, including a full-size
refrigerator filled with minibar items, a microwave, toaster, and coffeemaker; some
have electric stoves too. Free bottled water and newspapers are provided, along with air-conditioning, while higher-priced rooms also have washers/dryers.
Neutral or funky-colored tiles adorn the sink and shower areas, and there is
extra sink lighting. Tan tiles cover the walls and
floors, and the black countertops provide space. All bathrooms
have separate soaking tubs and glassed-in showers, and come with bathrobes,
slippers, and Legacy Suites Bangkok toiletries.
Features
Radiant outdoor pool and whirlpool, fitness center, business center, and a free, hearty breakfast
There's an outdoor pool with a sundeck, whirlpool, small children's pool, and seating built into the blue-tile area that’s surrounded by trees, shrubs, and comfortable tan lounge chairs. Drink
specials are served all day. A stand-out feature is the rooftop sports field with artificial
grass that can serve as a tennis court, soccer field, or basketball court.
The large fitness center has a large array of cardio and equipment and weights. Chillz, one of the on-site restaurants, serves a free breakfast consisting of
hot and cold items (breads, cereals, ham, eggs). It has an international menu that's served all day, while Hama-Ichi, the other on-site restaurant, offers Japanese Izakaya style items. There's a business center in the lobby, whose services come with a fee, and 24-hour concierge service. Room service has limited hours.
