Right in the heart of Thailand’s capital city sits the towering Conrad Bangkok. The 391-key hotel that spans over 30 floors sits squarely within Bangkok’s Central Business District surrounded by premier shopping malls and lush urban parks. The metropolitan oasis taps its close proximity to prime tourist attractions in the city to provide guests with the ultimate relaxing stay. From the get-go, the hotel’s complimentary shuttle service will whisk you to the Phloen Chit Bangkok Transit System (BTS) station in mere minutes for a fuss-free start each day.
Walk onto the property and you will immediately notice the refreshing dip in temperature; the luxurious 5-star venue provides a very welcome respite from the acute Bangkok sun. In between hectic shopping days, step into 7th Heaven, a plush wellness sanctuary that spans the entire seventh floor. Whether you need a quick pick-me-up or the whole nine yards—the on-site Seasons Spa facility has 11 themed treatment rooms for you to choose from—they’ve got it all.
The dining options at the Conrad Bangkok are not scant either, with our favourite of the selection being Cantonese restaurant Liu. The award-winning menu is helmed by chef Andy Fung, a Hong Kong native, and serves up fresh dim sum as well as the crowd favourite Peking duck. Discerning epicureans will enjoy Liu’s inventive take on signature Chinese cuisine that strikes a careful balance between traditional techniques and modern interpretations. To get the most out of your evening, you can then drop by the Diplomat Bar that’s open till midnight daily. Grab a seat around the bar and sink into the groove of live music every week, Monday through Saturday. For some light evening fuel, get your hands on some bar snacks—with recipes from Conrad properties around the world—or sip on a specialty cocktail put together by the master mixologists behind the bar.
From the textured art piece that adorns the main lobby to the in-room finishings, design enthusiasts will delight in the details that honour the hotel’s homeground. As a spirited nod to its locality, the rooms and suites at the Conrad Bangkok marry modern fixtures with the graceful essence of traditional Thai architecture. Of nearly 400 rooms, the crown jewel of the estate is surely the Presidential Suite, sized generously at 2,561 square feet. The Presidential Suite invites guests to embrace tranquillity away from the bustle of Bangkok by taking a soak in the marble bathtub, complete with bath amenities from Byredo, no less. Afterwards, drink in the night view of the city skyline right from the comfort of the expansive suite, before bringing your Conrad stay to a close.
