Conrad Bangkok

Accommodation at Conrad Bangkok runs from a 41 m² room to a 155 m² Premium Family Suite, and several of the rooms have city views. The Premium Family Suite sleeps up to six guests, and the rooms can have a bathtub or a whirlpool bathtub, an electric kettle, bathrobes, a hair dryer, toiletries and towels, with an adjustable hand-held shower wand in the bathroom.

Rooms can also have air conditioning, blackout curtains, a desk, an in-room safe box and ironing facilities, along with a mini bar, a coffee or tea maker, complimentary tea, satellite and cable channels, and a telephone.

Conrad Bangkok has an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre and tennis courts, along with a spa that offers massage, a sauna, a steam room and a hot tub. A garden and a terrace are also on the property.

For meals, there are restaurants, a coffee shop, a bar and a poolside bar, plus a buffet breakfast, breakfast in the room, happy hour and 24-hour room service, with food delivery as well.

Guest services include a concierge, tours, a shuttle service, currency exchange, luggage storage, laundry service, meeting and banquet facilities, and a babysitting service. A playground is available for children, and the property is wheelchair accessible, with facilities for disabled guests.

Conrad Bangkok sits on Wireless Road in the Sukhumvit area, where several embassies, including those of Italy and the United Arab Emirates, are within a few hundred metres. The district mixes office towers, hotels and residential blocks, with a lot of street life along the main roads and quieter side streets behind them. Food stalls and small restaurants line many of those side streets.

The Phloen Chit BTS Station is 500 m away and Nana BTS Station is 800 m away, so the Sukhumvit line gets you to the Siam shopping area quickly. Siam Paragon, a large shopping mall, is 1.7 km away, and Jim Thompson House, a museum of Thai silk in a traditional teak house, is a little further on. The Grand Palace is 6.3 km away, and Wat Arun, the riverside temple with its tall prang, lies in old Bangkok; both are reached by taxi or by river boat.

A full day could start at the Grand Palace and Wat Arun, then return to the hotel for an afternoon at the spa or by the pool. Chatuchak Weekend Market, 6.8 km away, is open at weekends and sells clothing, crafts and street food, so it suits a weekend morning out.
