Frommer's Review
Choose the Bangkok Marriott if you want to explore Bangkok, and at the same time, escape it. On the western banks of the Chao Phraya River and a few miles downstream from the heart of old Bangkok, this sprawling resort is accessed by shuttle boat or taxi. Some don't like to be so far removed, but most find the short departure from crazy Bangkok a real relief; once at the resort, the big city seems a distant memory. The three wings of the hotel surround a large landscaped pool area with lily ponds and fountains, and there is a Mandara Spa to soothe one's spirits. Recreation, dining, and drinking choices are many, including familiar restaurants like Trader Vic's and Benihana, as well as their popular Riverside Terrace restaurant with a nightly buffet and culture show.
Facilities: 5 restaurants; bar and lounge; dinner cruise; pool; 2 outdoor lit tennis courts; fitness center; spa; salon; kids' club and programs; tour desk; airport transfer; business center; shopping arcade; salon; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; same-day laundry service/dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
