Frommer's Review

Having recently undergone major renovations, this northern cousin of Bangkok's Dusit Thani is now a slightly better choice than other center city hotels. Guest rooms are done in a mix of cool pastels set against panels, or whole walls, of saturated primary colors, featuring poetry in elegant Thai calligraphy. Upper-floor deluxe rooms have an interesting Japanese theme. The downtown location means easy access to shopping and nightlife; all guest rooms have a good vantage on the glittering lights of the city. You're right in the heart of it here, so be warned that stepping out of the hotel means that touts and tuk-tuk drivers will be waiting to pounce.

Facilities:
3 restaurants; lobby lounge and pub; small outdoor pool; tour desk; airport transfer; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; same-day laundry service/dry cleaning

About Our System

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.
