The Empress Hotel

Frommer's Review

This 17-story tower, opened in 1990, is south of the main business and tourist area, which makes it especially quiet. The hotel has all the standard amenities, and even when swarming with tourist groups, doesn't seem overrun. The impressive public spaces are filled with glass, granite, and chrome, with integrated Thai touches and flairs. Large rooms with picture windows are done in a tasteful, modern interpretation of Asian decor of rose and peach tones. Bathrooms are small but decked-out in marble and offer good complimentary amenities. Ask to be on the mountain side, since there are nice views from upper floors there.

Facilities:
3 restaurants; lobby lounge and disco; pool; fitness center w/sauna; massage; tour desk; business center; shopping arcade; salon; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; same-day laundry service/dry cleaning; executive floor
