Frommer's Review
With an advantageous location near Chit Lom BTS and downtown shopping malls such as Gaysorn and Siam Paragon, the Inter-Con' is oft overlooked but well worth a try if you wish to be close to the key shops and don't mind fighting daily gridlock at the Rama I intersection. It's also next to its lower-end sister property, Holiday Inn. Enclosed in a glass and steel tower, rooms are decked out in swanky, high-end business hotel standards and come with unobstructed views of the seething city. If you can pay the executive floor rates, you get perks such as free broadband Internet and high tea. It's a good choice for shoppers; within 10 minutes' walk lie nine of the city's most popular malls, and if that's not enough, the gigantic, labyrinthine Pathumwan Market is 5 minutes away for truly adventurous (and non-claustrophobic) bargain hunters.
Facilities: 3 restaurants; lounge w/live music; outdoor pool; fitness center; spa; tour desk; car-rental desk; airport transfer; business center; shopping; salon; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; same-day laundry service/dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive floor.

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.
