What is the Deluxe Premier Room like?

Guest room entrance door.

IMG1207 copy copy_Fotor

The retro atmosphere and some stylish atmosphere were mixed, and I felt like I was in a room in an aristocratic house. Not only the atmosphere of the whole room, but also the sofas, tableware, accessory cases, and other small items used were of high quality, and I was able to spend a pleasant time just in the room.

IMG1207(3) copy

The bed was king size so it was big enough. The mattress isn’t soft, but it fits snugly on my body and was very comfortable to sleep on.

IMG1207(21) copy

There were 4 pillows and 2 cushions prepared on the bed.

IMG1207(29) copy

There were tables on both sides of the bed. There was a BOSE speaker, alarm clock, accessory tray on one side, and a phone and note set on the other.

IMG1207(11) copy

I could see the shopping mall ICONSIAM along with the Chao Phraya River. However, because it was not a room with a river view, it was possible to see the area along the river with a sense of locality under construction.

The light up at night was beautiful.

Facilities in the Hotel

The hotel had two outdoor pools. Neither is big, but the resort-style chairs and cabanas set up by the pool, the view of the Chao Phraya River in front of you, the tropical greenery, and the attentiveness of the staff make you feel graceful.

Hotel Surroundings

A 10-minute walk from the hotel, there are restaurants, fruit stalls, and a small shopping mall that locals go to, and I enjoyed the local atmosphere. There is a boat from the hotel to the shopping mall ICONSIAM on the opposite bank every 30 minutes, so I was nice that I could go shopping anytime. While ICONSIAM has many luxury brands, Thai miscellaneous goods and souvenirs are sold at market prices at Asia Teak, which is about 10 minutes by taxi from the hotel, so it is close to each purpose at that time. Since there are many taxis and it is cheap, it is easy to use, so shopping and access to the destination were quite convenient.

ICONSIAM, a tourist attraction that can be reached by boat dedicated to the hotel

A short walk from the hotel, you can see the Thai cityscape.

Staff and Guests

There were a surprising number of staff, but all of them always smiled and responded slowly and politely. There is a butler service, and when something happens, the staff in charge will come to the room immediately with the touch of a button in the room.

Access

It took less than an hour by taxi from the airport, and the taxi boarding system at the airport was easy for tourists to understand, so there was no problem with access. However, if the road is congested, it may take more than twice as long. I didn’t feel uneasy about security during the day, but at night the area around the hotel was pitch black, so I took a taxi even at a short distance.

IMG1207 (23) copy

Luxury hotels and condominiums were lined up around the hotel.

Summary

I had a very nice stay at this hotel. No matter where you go in the hotel, it is clean with a retro atmosphere, the staff always smiles and responds, there is a Thai resort feeling, and you can fully enjoy the feeling of traveling in an unreal space even if you stay at the hotel all day long. Also, if you go a little further from the hotel, there are many famous sightseeing spots, and I felt that it is a hotel that can balance sightseeing with an elegant hotel stay. Certainly the price will be higher, but there is also a luxury trip where you can enjoy a day sightseeing and feel a completely different culture from Japan, and after returning to the hotel, you can relax and enjoy a different atmosphere from the tourist destination. It was a hotel that made me realize that.
