At last it was time! The time had come to move into our suite in the Hotel Tower Club at Lebua. You can find out how we liked this luxury hotel in the heart of Bangkok in the review.
Shortly after our arrival, we were able to enjoy the amenities of a five-star hotel. The concierge looked a bit incredulous as we walked up the driveway on foot and packed with a backpack, but still took our luggage with a smile. The typical guest is likely to arrive by taxi or the hotel's own limousine.
After logging in at the front desk and pulling out my credit card, we were able to sit in the lobby on comfortable armchairs while an employee took care of the formalities. After a short wait, we were greeted again by name and invited to visit the room together with the employee. We took an elevator, which is only available exclusively to hotel guests and can be activated with the room card, to the 58th floor.
Tower Club at lebua – Tower Club Suite
From our 66 square meter Tower Club Suite, we had a great view of the Chao Phraya River from our private balcony. Right in the entrance area was a kind of living room with two sitting areas and a table each.
This was followed by a kitchenette with a Nespresso machine, hot plate and a fridge. This was filled with free soft drinks (Coke, Sprite, Ice Tea and Green Tea) and we could have the stock replenished at any time by housekeeping. Behind a double-sided sliding door was a large bathroom with a shower and a bathtub.
In the sleeping area there were two very comfortable beds, most likely the best on our whole trip, and an LCD TV (incl. video on demand).
Tower Club at lebua – Club Lounge
By booking a suite at the Tower Club, we also bought access to the exclusive Tower Club Lounge on the 52nd floor. Here we were able to get all-round care from 12 to 18 o'clock. We had the choice between alcoholic and also non-alcoholic drinks, canapés and other snacks. So every afternoon after a strenuous sightseeing tour through Bangkok we went to the lounge and ended the evening with a glass of 2009 Chardonnay or 12-year-old Chivas Regal.
Tower Club at lebua – Breakfast
Breakfast was served at the Muzo restaurant from 6 to 11 am. After arriving by elevator, we were escorted every morning to a free table, where we were served coffee, tea or juices. Again, the number of waiters and cooks is enormous by European standards. For example, the toast slices can be browned in a wood-fired oven if desired. Since I personally couldn't see any croissants with jam after more than 40 hotel nights in a row, I was very happy about the variety of the buffet. So I started the day with all kinds of different sushi, eggs Benedict or shrimp with Chinese noodles. Mhmmmm yummy!
Tower Club at lebua – Skybar
Another highlight of the lebua are the two open-air bars Breeze and Skybar. The Breeze is located on the 52nd floor and was the setting for the movie "Hangover 2", among other things. The Skybar is one of the highest bars in the world. From the 63rd floor, you have a breathtaking view of the Bangkok skyline.
This exclusivity is probably also due to the high prices (cocktails from 12 euros). Since we as hotel guests had vouchers for two free drinks, unfortunately only for the bar Breeze, we treated ourselves to them on the last evening. Bodo ordered a mojito and I tried a hangovertini. This was created especially for the actors and crew of "Hangover 2" and contains, among other things, Green Tea liqueur, Martini Rosso, green apple juice and a sprig of rosemary.

Summary
The luxury of a five star hotel and the endless friendliness of the Thais have made the lebua a very good product. It is the many little things, such as the additional room service in the evening, where a card with the weather forecast is placed on the bed, that make the stay unforgettable for us.
