Lonely Planet Review
This magnanimous mid-range institution allows you to practically roll out of bed and onto the skytrain - thereby putting the sights and sales of Bangkok at your feet. It's a good deal given its convenient location and mega-hotel facilities - a good landing pad for jetlagged first-time visitors to Asia.
No village feel or boutique originality here. It's a self-contained world of shopping, eating and sleeping, coated in that slightly dated Asian-hotel brand of plush (lots of mirrors, wood panelling and synthetic floral arrangements). This is a mammoth hotel offering pools, banquet rooms, cabaret shows and restaurants with innovative names like 'Rio Grill Brazilian'. They even have a fortune teller! The lobby is a huge mall where Western tourists and Asian businessmen come and go incessantly beneath the chandeliers. The prolific staff are helpful and informative. The rooms are large, comfortable and well-appointed if slightly overpriced. If you're not huge on in-hotel recreation and dining facilities there are just as decent rooms elsewhere for less.

Author Tip
Marvel at the fabulous costumes and the impeccable gender remastering of the hotel's own 'Calypso Cabaret'. This is one of the best and most popular 'Kàthoey' (ladyboy) cabaret shows in town. There's lip-synching and flouncing galore from the immaculate dancers, kind of like Moulin Rouge meets Priscilla Queen of the Desert.
