A Royal Rendezvous In Downtown Bangkok, Thailand

Looking for a hotel that is stylish yet not flamboyant

, trendyish but with old-style elegance mixed in? Well, the Dusit Thani Bangkok Hotel fuses the traditional with the most modern facilities available. The atmosphere is exotic and sophisticated, with a classy, regal appeal. This design creates an especially warm and comfortable setting, coupled with an aura of excitement and adventure. The hotel has 517 including rooms and executive suites. The 'Thai Heritage Suites' are each inspired by the characters and touches of ancient Thai cities. The hotel is in the perfect location. It was built in the heart of the city in 1970. Easy access to the elevated train or the Skytrain is only meters away, along with the subway. Also, Lumpini Park is directly across the street, which offers spacious relaxation that is hard to find in the rest of the city. Walking along the left side of Rama IV road at around noon next to the park, one can glimpse the large monitor lizards sunning themselves. This is a convenient route to the Suan Lum Night Bazaar Market. It is open during the day for shopping. In the evening, things liven up a bit with live concerts and stage performances. There is great local and imported beer served up here also starting around 5pm.

The First International Hotel in Thailand

Dining at the Dusit Thani Bangkok Hotel is a delectable affair. The restaurant il Cielo offers contemporary and traditional Italian cuisine. The Pavilion on the ground floor has an International buffet. Definitely try out the Dusit Gourmet Bakery, which has superb freshly baked breads and other pastries. After all the sumptuous dining, D-Fit is the in-house fitness center available to all guests providing modern facilities and a swimming pool. French cuisine is also available at DSens, which has a business set lunch. Dont miss the nightly ruit carving demonstration at the Benjarong Restaurant. The World Travel Service on the ground floor offers a variety of tours. Some of these include the Klong Tour, which is a marvelous boat cruise around the canals recapturing memories of a dwindling era when Bangkok was known as the Venice of the East. Another fine tour is to the Anank Samakhon Throne Hall Museum. More intrepid travelers might want to try the Crocodile Farm Tour about 18 miles out of Bangkok, or the Elephant Ride and Bamboo Rafting tour.

The Devarana Spa has been voted as one of the best urban spas in Thailand. Its design is based on the concept of a garden in heaven, with a lush and verdant floral atmosphere. Anyone interested in the history of the hotel can stop by the miniature 1918 Library, which has many old photos of Bangkok and the building of the hotel. The months December through February have the most pleasant weather in Bangkok at about 26 C/80 F. this is the high season, therefore it is important to book a room in advance. May through September can be quite humid and warm, but usually hotels offer budget accommodation and special rates during this low season.
