Have dined at the Crown Plaza a number of times especially for the holidays, but this was my first time staying at the hotel. I have to say it was one of the best experiences I have had, and last year I stayed at 16 different hotels around the world, Asia, Europe and the United States, and high brand names like Conrad and JW Marriott, and this ranks among the best. The staff and everyone we came in contact with was cordial, friendly, always with a warm and smiling greeting. There was never a moment when we did not feel welcomed. We had Club Room feature and the offerings were outstanding, some of the best we have seen. The Club lounge was spacious, always tidy and clean and warm. The Panorama Restaurant had an enormous assortment on the buffet, more than enough to satisfy many different tastes. Housekeeping was great, efficient, timely and the room was immaculate. The Crown Plaza is conveniently located between two major roads, Silom and Surawong on Rama IV road. Bakery in the lobby, parking underground. Good security. Elevator to Lobby on 24th floor (I think) and then seperated elevators from there up to rooms. The elevators are glass enclosed and you look down on the Restaurant. Wheelchair accessible. I highly recommend the Crown Plaza if you are coming to Bangkok. Location, great staff and service and also close to the 2 transportation systems, BTS Skytrain and MRT subway. And a great park, Lumpini for a jog, exercise or to relax.
