Sindhorn Kempinski Hotel Bangkok

This was my second visit, and it was as elegant and wonderful as ever. We really enjoyed our stay, living like locals – dining at a nearby mall, grocery shopping at a supermarket, and taking morning strolls to Lumphini Park. Just one small thing, for a hotel of this caliber and age, it's a bit disappointing that there's no bidet.

After comparing with Siam Kempinski, I still chose Sindhorn Kempinski. The living space and environment are superior. Although it's not directly above a subway station, you can walk from the hotel's back entrance to BTS Chit Lom station in just ten minutes, and it's only one stop to Siam station. It's also not far from MRT Silom station, and the hotel offers a shuttle service every half hour, which can be reserved (I don't recommend taking a taxi as the main road is very congested). The service is excellent. Upon check-in, we reminded the hotel to provide amenities for children, and they immediately offered us two sets of children's toiletries, a children's picture book set, a snack pack, and even added a free extra bed for the child.

Bangkok is filled with hotels, mostly located along the BTS or by the river. This hotel, however, has a rather average location but a high price. Many people recommended it online, so I decided to give it a try. I booked a 3-night stay in an Executive Floor double room. The lobby is designed like a garden, and the staff are very professional. The executive lounge is spacious, and both the afternoon tea and cocktail selections are quite extensive. Gee, who assisted us, was very polite and professional, with excellent English, and even escorted us to our room to introduce the facilities. Our room was a super spacious 80 square meters, with a modern design – I was extremely satisfied. The breakfast at the lobby restaurant, recommended by Michelin, is on par with top-tier hotels. The quality is high, yet it doesn't feel overly formal or intimidating, which was excellent. I tried breakfast at the executive lounge one day; while it wasn't as extensive as the lobby's, it offered more privacy and still had plenty of choices. Mook, who attended to us, was very attentive and had a lovely smile – excellent service. The spa was also very good, but expensive. However, there are significant discounts if you become a member. The hotel offers complimentary shuttle service to the nearby BTS station and shopping mall, but the shuttle bus is small and the frequency is low, so there's room for improvement. The pool isn't bad, but there aren't enough sun loungers, and it doesn't get direct sunlight.

My family highly recommends this hotel as the most satisfying five-star hotel they've ever stayed in. First, the room size is incredibly generous; it's not a suite but feels like one, with separate living and dining areas. Second, the public areas and garden are beautiful. Next, the service is absolutely fantastic, always accommodating every request. Additionally, breakfast is superb, both exquisite and delicious. They even have freshly made mango sticky rice and fresh young coconuts, which is rare to find and not only looks good but tastes amazing, setting it apart from other hotels. One morning, I even saw Hong Kong celebrity Roy Cheung! 😁 The only slight drawback is that transportation isn't super convenient; public transport doesn't go directly there, requiring a bit of a walk, so you always have to take a taxi, and Bangkok traffic can be quite bad. 😣 Also, a note for parents with kids: this hotel strictly charges based on the number of occupants.

The hotel is quite new, and the rooms are spacious with balconies. The service is good, and the breakfast offers a wide variety of options, served until 11 AM. Nearby, there are various entertainment spots like bars, massage parlors, nail salons, and hair salons. It's quite convenient for short business trips or layovers.

Great location! The facilities are so complete that you could stay in the hotel all day without getting bored. The food is delicious, and the lounge is beautiful.

The hotel staff didn't inform me about the hotel's facilities. I had no idea there was a free shuttle bus.
