We spent the first night of our recent holiday here. It was a bit of a gamble but the price was too good to turn down.

The taxi driver had a bit of difficulty finding the place - as it is so new. The location is good, but you'll need to get a taxi to get around (which is actually pretty much the case anywhere in Bangkok).

The hotel itself is really new, neat, tidy, clean and well-designed. The architecture and interiors are great - although it really could be a modern hotel anywhere in the world - there's nothing uniquely Thai about it.

The rooms are amazing. The beds and linen are good and very comfortable. The bathrooms are super modern with rainfall showers (but we didn't have a bath - which didn't matter).

The breakfast is pretty good too - especially for a hotel of this size.

Other guests seemed to come mainly from Singapore and Hong Kong, although there were a few Europeans.

There is a small gym on the roof, which is really good. It is small but has everything you'd need in it. The rooftop pool is great too, but there aren't many chairs up there so you'll have to get one early.

All in all a great stay. I'll definitely be going back - especially for extended trips. Hopefully this will be before the soft launch prices go up too much (which still wouldn't be bad).

This hotel is near the Sheraton and the Westin in Sukhumvit Bangkok (useful for taxi drivers who may not know the property as it just opened November 2007). The rooms are very clean, they have a modern decor, and there is a 24 hour cafe on site. This is a Carlson property, and they seem quite used to English speakers. They cater to the business crowd. There is free wireless internet access. They have a laundry service. You can order food in the cafe 24 hours a day. When I arrived I was offered a complimentary lemonade, nuts, cookies. They have a turn-down service. They have excellent clean sheets and soft beds. There is also a gym and rooftop pool. They had flat screen televisions in every room. I paid about $90 a night with taxes. I also stayed at the Holiday Inn Silom Bangkok from June 7-9, 2008 and this experience was much better and at the same price. I would stay here again.

I stayed at Park Plaza only 1 night and my friends who have good corporate rate recommned this place. Very reasonable. Hotel location is closed to both skytrain and subway, like 3 minutes walk. They provide free Wifi internet for 24 hours and on 2nd floor, there is small cafe that you can ask for drink (non alcoholic) for free all day long....

Current promo for corporate till end of May is like 65USD a night including breakfast.....what a deal!

Just for info - it's 4 star property and I've heard that the owner of this hotel is also the same owner of other 5 star hotels nearby...so the service and the look of the hotel are high standard.

This is a good hotel, but nothing extraordinary. As other reviewers have noted, it is new and the staff is very pleasant. The rooms are very stylish as well, but not very functional. The bathroom is a 1.5 inch stepdown from the bedroom, ensuring that I have stubbed my toe (badly) twice (first time shame on them, second time, shame on me). There is plenty of room to hang clothes, but apart from a drawer than can't even hold my socks and underwear, there is no dresser space for folded clothes. The "refreshment" cabinet that holds the fridge and the coffee station is tiny--only Nescafe packets are available, no drip coffee (which means I have to buy my morning coffee in the restaurant for $4). I very much appreciate small-but-efficient spaces, but this is small-and-awkward. My overall impression is that this is a nice hotel, but nothing great for the money (with tax about $100/night without breakfast). To end on a positive note, however, the location is great. It is about 100 yds. to the Queen Sirikit complex that has an ideal lake for jogging/walking. It's location is why I booked this hotel, and on this count it does not disappoint.
