I decided to stay at "Le Méridien Bangkok," because I heard that there is heavy traffic in Bangkok, so I was looking for a hotel within walking distance to Saladaeng Station, Subway Samyang Station and Subway Silom Station. I was also curious to see a hotel designed by an artist. When I looked up the hotel on the Internet, I saw a big object of a dog at the entrance, which made me wonder what the inside of the hotel would be like.
There was a big object of a dog at the entrance.
The glass walls made the lobby feel bright and open.
Hallway leading to the elevator hall.
Guest room floor corridor.
I chose a non-smoking room.
The room was spacious with a big sofa by the window. There was an iron in the closet, so I was able to iron my wrinkled shirt.
The bed was not as comfortable as I expected it to be. The mattress was too soft and the pillow was too high in my opinion.
There was also a bedroom with a two twin size beds.
I could see a temple nearby. You can see the big buildings under construction and get a glimpse of the booming economy in Thailand. There are no tall buildings around the hotel, so I could enjoy the view with nothing blocking my way.
From rooms on the other side you can see the Mahanakor Building, which is the highest building in Bangkok. This time I did not specify the direction of the room, but I will request a room with a view of the Mahanakon Building the next time I stay.

The water pressure for the shower was strong enough and the temperature was easy to adjust.
There was also a bathtub, so I was able to relax inside.
There was a scale which was useful for weighing my bag.
You can flush the toilet paper down the toilet which is unusual in Thailand.
There were shampoo, conditioner, body soap, body cream, hand soap, razor, toothbrush and a shower cap. The shampoo brand was Marine and Gotz from New York.
There was a bathrobe, iron, ironing board, safe and a hair dryer in the closet.
The safe was easy to use.
There were drinks prepared in the fridge. However, they cost extra money.
There were also small bottles of whiskey, vodka and gin in the drawer. The water bottles were free.
There was a bar called “Bamboo Chic” in the hotel. The bar was lit up very beautifully and the cocktail was very delicious.
I also had breakfast at the hotel which was very delicious.

There was a gym at the hotel. It was a clean and comfortable space to exercise.
The hotel is located on the 6th floor, surrounded by buildings. There are chairs with parasols, but the space covered with mats seemed the most popular.
There is a bar by the pool. They will charge the bill to your room, so you don’t need to pay on the spot.
You can see the Mahanakong Building from the pool.
The pool is open until 10pm and the night view surrounding the pool is beautiful. It is warm even at night, so you can swim and relax by the pool without having to worry about getting cold. I was told that the pool is crowded in the evening, but it settled down after 8pm.
There is a convenience store and a night market across the street. There is a 24-hour supermarket at the night market with a food court which is convenient for when you get hungry lat at night. There is also a bank next to the convenience store, so you can use the ATM with a currency exchange and international cash card. There are many shops that are open until midnight, so there were many people walking on the streets.
There were not only Thai staff but also Western staff. They were all very friendly with a nice smile. There were no large groups of guests staying. I saw some people staying on business trips.

The hotel is located in a downtown area called Silom, so I was able to get to the airport easily. Since the hotel is opposite the Patpong night market, saying the name”Silom Patpong” is easy for the taxi drivers to figure out your destination. The road in front of the hotel was always busy, but I was glad that I was able to go to the subway station easily from the back road and not get caught in traffic.
I had a very nice to stay at this hotel. The staff were very attentive and always there to help me. There was a convenience store, bank, and a 24-hour supermarket right by the hotel which was very convenient. Also, the famous Thai restaurants “Coca Restaurant” and “Somboon Seafood” listed in guidebooks were within walking distance and I was able to enjoy some delicious Thai food. It is usually hard to get around the city by taxi, but everything was within walking distance from the hotel which saved me a lot of time.
