There are 366 guest rooms at this upscale hotel in Bangkok,
near the duty free shops at the King Power Complex. The hotel has an impressive
range of facilities including excellent dining and drinking options, a
large spa and fitness center, and a stunning outdoor pool. Guest rooms have modern Asian decor plus spacious and luxurious bathrooms with a spa
bath and separate shower, though the look isn't quite up to luxury standards that the hotel claims. Rates are far lower than many other luxury properties, in part because while this hotel is central, it's not really near anything of interest. For something right in the heart of vibrant Chinatown -- and with sharp design to spare -- check out Shanghai Mansion, which has similar rates.

Scene
Stunning modern hotel with beautiful gardens and a refined attitude
The first impressions at this hotel are noteworthy, and immediately create an atmosphere that's refined. Inside, the polished cream floor
leads to a black marble reception desk, which has a stunning backdrop of
intricately carved wood stretching from the floor to the high ceiling. There
are a number of gray contemporary-style sofas and armchairs along the length of
the huge windows, allowing guests to sit and watch the activity on the street
outside and the hotel's many water features. The hotel's common spaces resemble an atrium, and the abundance of greenery makes it feel worlds apart from the chaotic city just outside. There is also a beautiful indoor
garden filled with native ornamental plants, as well as a large pond filled
with colorful Koi fish. The hotel attracts a range of guests from well-heeled tourists
to business travelers.
Location
In a bustling part of the city, though far from hotspots like Sukhumvit Road
The hotel is in a bustling area with a wide range of cafes,
restaurants, shops, office buildings, and bars. It's a local-feeling neighborhood that's removed from most of the tourist locales in the city, which is either a good or bad thing depending on the traveler. The King Power Complex, popular
for duty free shopping, is a four-minute walk away, as is Santiphap Park and
the Suan Pakkad Palace Museum. Phaya Thai train station and the Victory
Monument BTS Station are both a five minute walk, and the Victory Monument
itself is a 10-minute walk. Despite these local sights, areas like Sukhumvit Road and Silom Road will require a cab ride to reach -- budget at least 30 minutes, though this is variable given the city's wicked traffic. Alternatively, the skytrain reaches both destinations in 15 and 30 minutes, respectively. Popular historic sights like the
Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and The Giant Swing are not accessible by metro or skytrain, and will take around 20 to 30 minutes to reach by car, depending on road conditions. Suvarnabhumi International Airport and Don Mueang Airport are both a nominal 30-minute drive, though allow for at least double this. The express train to Suvarnabhumi Airport departs from Phaya Thai station, making trips to the airport without traffic in just 30 minutes.
Rooms
Modern rooms with large, luxurious bathrooms
The 366 guest rooms at the Pullman Bangkok King Power are available as Deluxe,
Superior, or Executive Double and Twin Rooms, and there are extra-spacious
Suites as well. Rooms are decorated in a modern Asian style, with
contemporary, minimalist furniture with light wood veneer surfaces and accents in warm colors
like copper and gold in the soft furnishings. Modern wall art of Asian flora
and fauna hangs above the bed in fresh greens and yellows. The look is perfectly pleasant, but doesn't quite live up to the hotel's luxury claims, and doesn't really stand out in a city packed with high-design hotels. Still, some rooms do look out onto tranquil greenery, which makes them feel all the more removed from the city chaos of Bangkok. All rooms have air-conditioning, minibars, flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, safes, and free Wi-Fi. Suites also have a living area, iPod docks, and Nespresso machines. The spacious cream-tiled bathrooms have contemporary fittings, with large walk-in showers and a
spa bath. There's plenty of counter space and lovely bathrobes as well. Premium C.O. Bigelow toiletries are provided.
Features
Extensive facilities including a restaurant, bars, fitness center, spa, and large outdoor pool
The property has a huge outdoor swimming pool that's beautifully
designed and has different areas of shade and sun. An island in the center has
some trees planted in it, and a wooden decked area has sun loungers and
parasols for guests to use. There’s also a poolside bar. Treatments are available at the hotel’s spa, and a large fitness center has a wide range of
modern equipment. Guests can dine at the Cuisine Unplugged restaurant, which is open
daily for lunch and dinner. It serves an international buffet on weekdays and a
seafood barbecue buffet on the weekends. The hotel's bar, Wine Pub, offers an
extensive wine list of over 100 varieties, as well as cocktails and
international food from tapas to classic French dishes. It also has live music
playing regularly. Business guests can make use of the property’s 14 meeting
rooms, the largest of which seats up to 550 people. Underground car parking is
free, and there’s free Wi-Fi throughout the property too.
