I stayed at this hotel while on a business trip to Bangkok. You notice the size of the lobby as soon as you walk in - five star impression for sure, and expect five star prices.

The hotel staff was very friendly everywhere. As a Priority Club member, I was upgraded to a nicer room. It was indeed very nice, a good sized room, a very comfortable bed, a very large modern bathroom, safe, slippers, fruit bowl, bath robe, etc.. I had a great view out of my window. I was very happy with everything in the room. The price of the room at >$220/night was high, but probably expected, given the location. It was situated in the heart of a modern shopping area, with lots of high class stores and restaurants. The metro stop and skywalk were right outside the door, so you could get around very easily, also.

Breakfast was a very extensive buffet, with made to order food and very international selection. However, the price of the breakfast was pretty steep.

The exercise room was also very nice. Well equipped and plenty of it.

All-in-all a very nice place to stay, but a bit pricey.

The intercontinental is a very nice hotel, but I wouldn't say it was twice as nice as the Grand Millenium, which cost about half as much. Location is probably bit better with the huge shopping malls very nearby if you want that. Rooms are good, large, very nice bathrooms, nice little gadget that will play your ipod through the TV too. The afternoon tea/lunch buffet was a bit ordinary, but room service food was great. Pool area is a little disappointing - considering it is on the top of the hotel, they could play on the view a bit more rather than totally block it. But generally this is a class hotel, bit pricey, but other than that, very hard to fault.

My husband and I traveled to Bangkok on a last-minute trip and chose the InterCon based on its location. The reviews seemed as though it were more suited for business travelers but that is far from the case. This hotel is located in one of the absolute best spots for touring the city. The entrance to the SkyTrain is literally out the front door, which makes getting around very easy. Siam City with its great shopping is just next door and there are plenty of wonderful restaurants across the street. The hotel is going through a renovation process and the newer rooms are modern and beautiful. We called the front desk to let them know there was a minor drainage problem in our shower. After returning from sightseeing, they delivered a bottle of wine to our room for our inconvenience. Bangkok is known for amazing service but this hotel went above and beyond. My husband and I travel the world and stay in many different hotel chains and this was one of the best experiences we have ever had. The concierge was wonderful in suggesting restaurants and setting up private tours. All in all, I would HIGHLY recommend the InterCon for your travels to Bangkok.

During my stay at the Intercontinental, we were given a large number of gifts by our friends. Amongst them were a large bunch of silk flowers that were about 5 feet in length as well as a flower vase. We spoke to the bell hop who brought our luggage to our room and asked whether he could help us get a box to store all these to make it easier for check-in. When we checked out, we found that the flowers and vase had been securely wrapped in bubble-wrap. They had also found another box to store other extra stuff we had.

It's one of the hotels with IPod docks that enable you to listen to your Ipod thru the TV.

As the location is near a Skytrain station, it makes it easy to get to most of the tourist spots in Bangkok. Plenty of shopping malls and restaurants within walking distance. An ideal location for business and relaxation.
