Plaza Athénée Bangkok, A Royal Méridien Hotel - Bangkok

lovely hotel. breakfast is so-so for high end in bangkok and not worth the money. friendly, attentive service and staff. very nice fitness center and pool. location not in the thick of things, whether thats good or bad depends on you. easy walk to the sky train and centrally located in city.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I had previously lived in Bangkok, and used to visit the Plaza Athenee for lunch or sometimes for breakfast, and it seems to me that it has gone downmarket. It was quite depressing to see two rather scruffy Japanese men taking local girls to their room quite brazenly. I know that it is difficult to police, but at other hotels the girls would have been […] challenged for identity. The junior suite we booked was acceptable, but more junior than suite. The final experience was spoilt on departure by having to wait for 15 minutes for a taxi to go to the airport. The staff showed a lack of initiative since there were taxis passing and unoccupied on the opposite side of the road. When we asked one of the managerial staff they offered a car at eight times the price of a taxi. Read more

The Plaza Athenee is a beautiful 5 star hotel. The rooms are spacious and extremely clean. The service at the hotel was excellent. The hotel is located very close to the SkyTrain which makes it very easy to get around Bangkok. (Taxis are cheap in Bangkok but the traffic is a nightmare.) All signs on the SkyTrain are in English and it is very simple […] to get around. Next to the hotel, there is a building with offices that also contains a Dean & DeLucca cafe which is great for breakfast. Additionally, in that building, there is a pharmacy, bagel place, magazine/book shop and most important, a 7-11 which is useful to get additional water (if needed), as you are always supplied with drinking water bottles in your room daily). Also from this building next to the hotel, take the electric stairs up to the SkyTrain station, to avoid climbing 2 long flights of stairs. Save your energy to hectic Bangkok. We enjoyed our 7 day stay at this hotel. There is a lot to do in Bangkok, besides the Palace area. Do not miss Jim Thompson's house which is close to the hotel - via the SkyTrain - only several stops away. Also, go to the Palace early in the morning to avoid the crowds. The Au Bon Pain cafe across from the Palace is a great place for a quick bite and coffee. Remember to wear long pants to the Palace - as shorts are not permitted. Hope this helps. Read more

Plaza Athenee hotel is very well located, close to a sky train station, not far from the best shopping centers on Bangkok (Siam Paragon, for instance). The rooms are large, comfortable, and clean. The breakfast buffet is great. The gym got new machines, I had an excellent work out there. The staff is friendly and well qualified. I truly enjoyed my stay […] at the Plaza. Read more

Previously stayed in Bangkok at lesser hotels, bu this time was bringing along my boss, so decided to upgrade. The Plaza Athenee did not disappoint. Best feature is the Royal Club Lounge - be sure to upgrade for this. Excellent lounge - very attentive staff, large comfortable space, and hardly anyone else taking advantage of this. Almost like it was […] private. Ate in the Rain Tree Cafe about 3 times, all were good. Ate in the Japanese restaraunt upstairs, that was a little disappointing. Room was nice, not spectacular. Only the bathroom gave away that this hotel is not new, but a remodel. Fixtures are new, but tub, floor, etc, showing some wear. Overall, an excellent place, even at the premium (for Bangkok) price.

Beautiful hotel with breathtaking views of the city. I recommend the junior suite. The breakfast buffet was very good and the waitstaff were excellent. I'm coming back to this hotel on my next trip to Bangkok.

Very much enjoyed the Plaza Athenee in Bangkok. It's a beautiful property and very convenient, with a BTS station about one block away. Hotel staff were fabulous, especially Thomas, the catering/restaurant manager, with whom we spoke in French. Merveilleux!

Easy access to the train system - can take you to many major shopping areas plus major attractions. Eatery at the hotel too pricy, You can find good food in the local areas. Front desk not very helpful in asssisting with tours, you have to ask for a map or else none is provided for you

Great, the hotel is perfect. The tours they offer are over priced, but you can book others online. I totally recomend the hotel.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The service was consistently attentive and friendly. The buffet breakfast was extensive, with multi-ethnic offerings, and I appreciated the French-press coffee individually served at the table. The room was nice although unremarkable and furnished like a standard, mid-upper level hotel room. The bathroom caused the "upper" to be included previously […] as although there was a single sink, it featured separate bath and shower stalls. Unfortunately, my room had a slight carpet mildew smell, but not worth changing rooms. The pool was particularly nice decorated with flowering plants and trees yet with lots of sun, and shelter if needed. The top features are the courteous service ubiquitious in multi-star Thai hotels and the impressive architecture and design of the common areas of the hotel. Read more

High quality staff that exceeds expectations in assisting guests. Pool was uncrowded and refreshing. Location close to skytrain system, but found metered taxis very cheap. Take metered taxi from airport about one quarter the cost of a limo service. Always carry the hotel location with you as seems hotel address not as well known to taxi drivers.

The hotel is conveniently located near a BTS station. The room was nice, but not quite at the level of a five star hotel. The breakfast, on the other hand, was very impressive.

Excellent service, royal club room is great! We received complimentary high tea time and cocktail happy hour at the royal club lounge. Breakfast buffet is great as well. Location is great, only 2 minutes walking distance from BTS skytrain station and 2 train stops from Siam Square, a major shopping district.

Stayed three night go a free upgrade to club level. Room was fantastic as was the food as I held a conference there. Breakfast was varied And first rate. Will stay again.

This is a great hotel to use as a base in Bangkok. The service is great. The staff speaks excellent English. The pool is beautiful. The front desk was very accomodating when we needed a late check out. The lobby is gorgeous. The food is great. The breakfast buffet is worthwhile. The neighborhood is great and the hotel is convenient to the US embassy […] and the train. Read more

We arrived on July 2nd. Once we arrived, the hotel upgraded us to club level with access to club lounge and free breakfast buffet which was excellent! The upgrade will last for three months. Please double check with the hotel for the upgrade. We loved the hotel, the room, the amenities and the staff are truly 5-star level. The swimming pool is exceptionally […] nice. I normally don't like to use the pool in any hotels. I ended up using two times a day while I was there. The room service menu is good too, the price is reasonable, Pad Thai is around U.S.$8.00. We ended up ordering room service two nights in the row since we were too tired to go out to eat. Overall, we would definitely go back to this hotel. Read more

Very happy with my choice to stay here while in Bangkok for three nights. Service was excellent, and the location is ideal for those interested in nightlife while in BKK, with Siam Square and Sukhumvit close by.

reasonable location. friendly staff. Room condition just okay.

Hotel has a five star location in the embassy corridor, near the elevated train system and within walking distance of some of the best malls. What really impressed me was the breakfast buffet and more importantly the staff and manager of the restaurant were outstanding for executing special request orders. The selection plus the variety of breakfast […] for different ethnic groups was extensive. I have stayed at other five star hotels in bangkok but by far Plaza Athanee has become my favorite because of all the little things that were done by the staff to make me feel truly welcomed. So if you decide to visit this hotel do enjoy the breakfast buffet and you will go away satisfied like I did. Read more

If you ever stayed at Paris' or New York' Plaza Athenee you are in for a great deception with the Bangkok location. We paid the price expecting the same level of comfort and luxury, but we were strongly disappointed. The level offered at this location is closer to a regular Meridien or Sheraton offerings, and so it's the service you can expect from […] the staff. We also stayed at the Banyan Tree a few days before and the difference was definitely worth the $30/night difference hotels.com offered. We expect to go back to BKK sometime soon, unfortunately not to this hotel. Read more

Nice hotel. The entrance is grand and the staff are pleasant. Overall the room was comfortable and the honeymoon suite was great! There is an outdoor pool with views of Bangkok. A great nearby restaurant is Coffee Beans by Dao. Location is close to the Ploen Chit stop on the BTS and close to Sukhumvit Road. 4 star hotel, would recommend.

Stayed at the Royal club level would not recommend it. The service was the worst service I had ever received at a so called 5 star hotel. I was the only person at tea and had to remove my own plate. There were many times during my stay when I went to the club lounge I would find one person trying to run the whole lounge. The hotel is in need of a r […] enovation. Read more

nice hotel with decent amenities and friendly staff. the rooms need significant updating. the furniture and bathroom are like old 80s style and worn out. overall its a comfortable hotel and ideal for business travel due to its location. its right in the center of the business area and very close to the Chidlom - Ploenchit BTS station.

I have stayed in Bangkok many times and this hotel is excellent. Large with multiple dining options, good gym/pool and SPA, it has everything required for business or leisure stay. i also thought the rate was quite reasonable for what is a 5 star hotel. Buffet breakfast is to die for.
