First Impression

As we stepped out of our cab, there were smiling faces around to receive us. The staff greeted us warmly and directed us to the lounge. It was a very pleasant gesture. The check-in process was very smooth and highly professional. The stylishly designed gourmet bar at the lounge is definitely a beautiful place to hangout. Upon downloading the Accor Hotels app, a welcome will be offered at any counter of your choice –  The infinity pool bar or the gourmet bar. As we checked into our room on the 19th floor, the eye-catchy view of the lively city held us captive. The window couch was a perfect place to keep watching the dinosaur park, the giant wheel, the sky train track, and the shiny tall buildings all around for a long long time. As we headed out to explore the places around, the staff helped us with the routes. The shuttle service provided to the nearby BTS station was really helpful.
