Lonely Planet Review

The Landmark stands tall and proud right on seething, traffic-clogged Sukhumvit Rd. This comfortable well-maintained establishment has decorated the rooms in different styles in an effort to make everyone feel at home. It's a safe, pragmatic choice popular with business travellers and an increasing number of tourists.

If you are seeking Thai-style traditional decor you can sleep among the emerald-and-gold tones and wood finishings of the 'Landmark' floor. Meanwhile those soothed by modern lines and dim lights will take to the 'Lifestyle' floor, where rooms are (over) done in black-and-white minimalism with sleek bathrooms and shiny surfaces. The suites are large, well-equipped and plushly decorated with Jim Thompson silks. The Landmark's main asset is its popular 'executive' benefits which include Internet, DVD, breakfast services, free coffee and snacks all day, boardroom usage, and even complimentary laundry/pressing. Already well-reputed, the business facilities were recently updated and are soon set to be even better. At the top quoted rates this hotel is perhaps a bit bland - for the same price you could almost afford a night at a fancy luxury hotel, but it's a safe bet.
