Amari Watergate Bangkok @ Thailand

One of the dilemma of traveling overseas is always the choice of accommodation. The good things about Bangkok is that you will be spoilt for choices from downright spartan to boutique to luxurious hotel.

Since this is a family cum shopping trip, I have shortlisted Amari Watergate Bangkok and Centara Watergate Pavillion Hotel. Both hotels with great location in the heart of the shopping area of Pratunam neighborhood with not much difference in room rates and most importantly both have good ratings at TripAdvisors. However, Amari Watergate has slight advantage as it has huge swimming pool which is a MUST for little Sam~ LOL

After an obligatory taxi ride from the Don Mueang Airport at around 400 Baht, we were welcomed graciously by hotel staffs. Check-in was a breeze affair and our luggagea were well taken care of by the attentive concierge. Throughout our 3d2n stay, we were greeted with huge smile from every staff. Sam even got a complimentary Amari teddy bear from the customer service.

The lobby is spacious, minimalist in decor with earth tone theme and warm lighting.

Check in counters

Concierge desk, all staff  were very helpful and always welcome us in smiley face.

Relaxing traditional Thai music performance at the lobby every evening.

Our Deluxe room is quite spacious  which adopted a simple but soothing earthy tone. The twin single beds (requested for a double bed but unfortunately not available) have plush mattress and down pillows that are comfortable enough for a good night’s rest.

Fully carpeted flooring, day-bed and coffee table with welcome fruits platter.

Working desk, large flat screen TV and DVD player.

Mini bar and coffee and tea making facilities.

Safe deposit box and complimentary drinking water.

Bathrobes, iron & board as well as indoor slippers.

The feature that I like the most at this decadent bathroom is “his and her” washing basin area so hubby and I will have respective private corner, for his to dirty up and for mine to clutter up with my facial stuffs.

A deep and clean bath tub.

Separated hand shower and WC.

Basic amenities such as body wash, shampoo, body lotion, sewing kit and etc.

Another 2 complimentary bottled water in the bathroom.

We managed to do a fast check at the pool located at 8th floor on the first day.

Both father and daughter enjoyed the pool time before the hectic shopping schedule. Hehe ^___^

There is also a gym and SPA and the same floor.

Verdict: The room rate for RM 350.00+ per night is definitely worth paying for! From the warm hospitality to the top notch room condition, we truly enjoyed every moment here. The location of the hotel is heaven for shopaholics alike. The only downside is the lengthy walk (over 20 minutes) to the nearest BTS stations (Siam, Ratchathewi & Chit Lom) which is a tiring walk for a young child.
