Conrad Bangkok

The selection of luxury hotels in Bangkok really is unbelievably large. We opted for the five-star Conrad Bangkok Hotel for the second half of our stay in Bangkok. You can find out what amenities the hotel offers and how we liked the rooms in our hotel review.

Arrival and check-in

We drove to the hotel by car and headed for the multi-storey car park. There is an extra floor for hotel guests with direct access to the hotel. However, you have to climb several flights of stairs. A lift is only available from the floor above. This can be problematic if, like us, you make the mistake of taking your suitcases into the multi-storey car park.

We were warmly welcomed at reception and invited to the Executive Lounge on the 29th floor as Hilton Diamond guests. A member of staff accompanied us from reception to the lounge, where we made ourselves comfortable during check-in and enjoyed afternoon tea. Overall, the check-in process was very professional and lived up to the hotel's five-star rating. We were upgraded from our booked Deluxe room with king-size bed to a King Executive room.

Where is Conrad Bangkok located?

The Conrad Bangkok is located in the All Seasons Place building complex in the Pathum Wan district in the eastern part of the metropolis. The nearest BTS station, Phloen Chit, is about a 10-minute walk away. In the immediate vicinity is Lumphini Park - a central city park with an artificial lake, on the banks of which monitor lizards live.

How are the rooms (King Executive Room) at the Conrad Bangkok?

Our King Executive room was located on the 31st floor. Immediately after entering the room, the large bathroom with marble flooring was on the right. There was a large free-standing bathtub, a shower and a toilet with all kinds of functions. The washbasin with large mirror offered plenty of storage space. The Mojave Ghost amenities were plentiful and of good quality. The bathroom was separated from the sleeping area by a floor-to-ceiling glass pane. A curtain could be lowered electrically to ensure privacy.

In the hallway there was a large wardrobe with a safe, iron and several drawers. The storage space for clothes was small except for a hanging area. The luggage rack integrated into the wardrobe was also a little too small for today's luggage.

The sleeping/living area opened to the rear, as is usual in hotels, and was furnished with a large king-size bed with several high-quality pillows. To the left and right of the bed were bedside tables with plenty of sockets, USB ports and several light switches. These could be used to switch or dim the various ambient lights and operate the electric curtains and blinds. There was also a minibar in the room, which was well stocked - albeit with prices that were in line with a five-star hotel. There was another luggage rack under the television. There was a desk to the left of the room-wide window front and a small sofa, a comfortable armchair and a coffee table to the right.

How is breakfast at the Conrad Bangkok?

The breakfast restaurant ‘Cafe@2’ was located on the second floor of the hotel. In contrast to many other hotels, I would generally advise against having breakfast in the restaurant at the Conrad Bangkok and recommend breakfast in the Executive Lounge if possible. This is not so much because of the choice of dishes, but rather because of the large crowds and the small number of tables in the rather dark, tube-like restaurant. For this reason, we only had breakfast there on the first morning.

As already mentioned, the menu was very varied. There was international cuisine as well as Japanese, Malaysian, Thai and Indian dishes to choose from. Egg dishes such as eggs Benedict or scrambled eggs were freshly prepared and served at the table. There was also a large fruit and salad buffet. Juices and smoothies were also available. As mentioned above, the ambience is not very inviting. The dark and elongated breakfast room unfortunately only offers very few seats by the window at one end. A pity for such a high-ranking and great hotel.

How is the Executive Lounge at the Conrad Bangkok?

The Executive Lounge of the Conrad Bangkok is located on the 29th floor and takes up half of the floor. The lounge is spacious and has plenty of seating. Even though the lounge was always very full at meal times during our stay, we never had any problems getting a table. However, if you want a seat by the window front to enjoy the beautiful view of the surroundings, you sometimes have to arrive a little earlier. The Executive Lounge at the Conrad Bangkok is open from 6 am to 10 pm and offers soft drinks, water, various hot drinks, fruit and nuts as well as three meals throughout the day.

Breakfast in the lounge is served from 6.00 am to 10.30 am and is very pleasant in contrast to the hotel restaurant. On the one hand, the lounge clearly has a better view than the breakfast restaurant. It is bright, quieter and the service is slightly better than in the ‘Cafe@2’ restaurant on the second floor of the hotel. In addition to a large buffet with various hot and cold dishes, there is also an à la carte option. The menu includes Asian dishes such as dim sum, but also international classics such as eggs Benedict or avocado toast.

Afternoon tea is offered in the Executive Lounge from 2 to 4 pm. The buffet offers scones with jam and whipped cream, various sandwiches and other delicacies.

Every evening from 5.30pm to 7.30pm there is an evening cocktail and hors d'oeuvres. When we arrived, we were escorted to our table by the service staff. A selection of canapés is served alongside a drinks menu. Other dishes are offered at the buffet. We usually had a choice of 3-4 hot dishes and various desserts. Drinks could be ordered from the staff. The drinks menu offered a wide selection of spirits, three types of beer, two wines, a champagne, various cocktails and mocktails.

Children under the age of 12 are not permitted for evening cocktails in the Executive Lounge. We are already familiar with this rule from the Conrad Dubai. In Bangkok, however, they have come up with a good solution. We were able to order a bento box including drinks every evening, which was delivered to our room at the desired time.

What does the Conrad Bangkok offer for relaxation?

Like most luxury hotels in Bangkok, the Conrad naturally also has a swimming pool and a fitness centre. The equipment in the fitness centre is not quite as modern, but the selection of cardio and strength equipment is very large.

The pool is located on the seventh floor and is beautifully designed. The age of the hotel is noticeable here in a positive way. The vegetation in the tropical garden has grown very tall and provides plenty of shade. There is a large main pool and a smaller whirlpool area with a waterfall. The sunbeds are prepared by a member of staff on arrival at the pool, so you don't have to worry about anything, which is a great service. The sunbeds have a good thick cushion and there are also plenty of parasols.
