This Kimpton in Bangkok is definitely a flagship hotel for the IHG group. It's located in the heart of Bangkok, near Ploenchit BTS station, accessible by foot or motorcycle from the station. It shares an owner (with royal connections 🤫) with the neighboring Kempinski, and you can tell no expense was spared in its design and construction. Although it was initially planned as a residential complex, its conversion into a hotel turned out incredibly well, especially the garden design which truly feels like an urban oasis!
I stayed here for a business trip, and as a Gold member, I was upgraded to a Premium King room. The room was huge, over 60 square meters, with very spacious living and bathroom areas! You can tell from the layout that its original design likely wasn't for a hotel. My room faced the inner garden, and the overall ambiance was great. Turndown service was provided in the evening, complete with a complimentary goodnight candy 🍬.
I had breakfast included this time but was too busy to take photos. The selection was quite rich, and the staff were mostly Burmese with Thai supervisors. The coffee was a bit disappointing, but the taste was still good!
The Craft cafe on the first floor is pet-friendly and serves good coffee, though the food was mediocre. The Bar Yard on the rooftop is adorable, offers beautiful views, and has a fantastic atmosphere!
