And with ample reason, because this is a seriously good place to stay.<p>The Conrad describes itself as "a true 21st-century hotel ... with cutting-edge design and unparalleled service". That sounds like a standard piece of marketing puff, but it's absolutely accurate -- particularly the service part.<p>Architecturally, the Conrad is quite unlike the standard tower or upright slab. Its unusual octagonal footprint allows rooms of differing shapes and provides a variety of angles, aspects and views.<p>...<p>There's plenty more to like about this hotel. Judging by a sensational meal at its Japanese restaurant, the unusually named Drinking Tea Eating Rice, the food is terrific; the treatments at the Seasons Spa are out of this world; and there are nice touches such as a choice of eight types of pillow for people who are picky about such things.<p>If physical exertion is on the program, there are floodlit tennis courts for night owls, a 24-hour gym for insomniacs and even a rooftop jogging track.<p>The Conrad has a fleet of Mercedes-Benz limousines in which passengers can smarten up with a refresher towel and a glass of iced water before settling back with the morning paper or watching the news updates on CNN while receiving a back massage from the seat.</blockquote></li> |

Ideal for families and business travelers alike, the hotel is a polished gem with great restaurants, a top of the line spa, and is in a safe and upscale location.<p>...<p>Though it’s large, this upscale and elegant property still devotes themselves to personalized service. The hotel is attached to a high-end shopping complex and also sports two of the best restaurants in the city. A resort pool is great for kids and activities abound with tennis courts, fitness classes, and a running track. Not near public transit, the hotel provides a shuttle to the closest station. Clean, safe, and delightful, the Conrad hits on all notes and is great for business and recreation alike.</blockquote></li> |

As is common with newly renovated hotels, I discovered a couple of very minor teething problems that could do with being ironed out – namely, the plug sockets that needed to be broken in, as well as the somewhat recalcitrant in-room sensors – but I’m sure these issues will be addressed promptly and they didn’t really negatively impact my stay. The rooms are sleek and sizeable – a valuable find in any Asian capital – and the interesting mix of urban and resort styles gives the property a professional yet relaxing atmosphere overall.</blockquote></li> |

The hotel extends over two towering edifices, one which hosts the hotel and the other features the Conrad Residences for long-term stays. For our stay at the Conrad, we had chosen king-size room with an upgrade to the executive floor. We were awarded a room on high floor, which afforded stunning views of the Bangkok cityscape.<p>The room was very spacious and elegantly adorned in soothing, muted colors and anointed with tasteful Thai-style decorative accents. As is the fashion nowadays, the bath area of the room in the Conrad is separated from the sleep area by a transparent glass wall. An interesting if not arresting design concept, though if you rather have privacy, the view can be easily obliterated by way of a heavy silk drape which can be drawn with the flick of a switch.</blockquote></li> |

<li>{{cite magazine |last=Long |first=Rachel |date=November 2003 |title=Conrad Bangkok Hotel: 2003 gold key finalist guestroom |magazine=Hospitality Design |volume=25 |issue=8 }}<p>The article notes: <blockquote>Think Thai silk, glowing teak, and carved timber platform beds. In the Conrad Bangkok Hotel guestrooms, there's no mistaking this is Thailand, where a sort of sensible elegance and use of local materials can clearly create a sense of place.<p>In outfitting the architectural shell of a 375-key guest tower constructed several years ago but never finished, the Singapore design team of Dallas-based Wilson & Associates aimed for local flair. "Thailand has a very rich culture, and typical Thai architecture and style is apparent everywhere you go in Bangkok," says design director Michael Fiebrich. "What we wanted to do was borrow on that strong influence but express it in a more contemporary way to create something with a distinct regional flavor, as well as an international twist."</blockquote></li> |

Keeping up with the steep competition, Conrad Bangkok, a veteran in the district, boasts recently refurbished guest accommodations and facilities. The facelifted interior subtly but beautifully blends Thai elegance with modern feel and practicality.</blockquote></li> |
