Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square : The Brand New Deluxe Room

While it is no doubt that Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square is one of my favourite picks each time I'm in the city, I was stoked to know that they recently revamped and polished up their Deluxe Room! The hotel is so centrally located, I never ever have to worry about getting around. With the new rooms, it was no surprise that I knew that I had to re-visit and stay with them yet once again to find out the new offerings!



While the exterior of the hotel hasn't changed much, the inside leaves much to be said. Apart from the usual culprit that serves great cocktails at the lobby, Gourmet Bar, we also found an array of cakes and sweet treats kiosk located right outside the Premier Lounge. Oh yes and for scent lovers, Lalil is located also at the lobby, offering a range of aromatherapy products made from nature!


The brand new Deluxe Room features a modern design perfect for a fun traveller! Think memory foam beds so comfy you would have trouble waking up for breakfast, a spacious living area to unwind after a long day and a 55" Smart TV just in case you want to laze in bed! I also like how they make the flooring wooden for a 'home away from home' feel and add a pop of colour with their decoration behind the bed!




I can never be thankful and amazed by the hospitality at Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square because when they knew I was coming back and that I missed the taste of authentic Mango Sticky Rice, they immediately arranged for one to be sent up to my room alongside some fresh florals. Another reason why I love staying with them and love Bangkok city so much.



The bathroom also comes highly equipped with technology such as modern vanity lighting, a rain shower to refresh yourself up and also some amazing smelling amenities that care for the environment.


Of course, we couldn't resist taking a splash in their rooftop pool in the humid weather! I love the pool because it gets great sunlight if you want to suntan and by night you get a little breeze and a city skyline!



I also pampered myself to a foot massage at Tammachart Day Spa, located on the same level as the swimming pool. They offer a good selection of spa experiences at very affordable prices despite being located within the hotel hence I highly recommend going for one if you are staying with them so you don't have to worry about moving around and can head back to your room after your massage!

Centrally located and super comfortable, it is no secret why I always choose to stay at Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square whenever it's possible!

Did you know that you also enjoy better rates when you book directly with them? Head on over to their website to find out more the next time you visit Bangkok city.

Whether for work, play or just a trip with family and friends - Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square ticks the list of travel experiences you would want to experience for a fantastic trip to Bangkok!

Le Méridien Bangkok

The next time you are visiting Bangkok city looking for accomodation, you have to check out Le Méridien Bangkok in the Silom commercial district. Whether looking for a comfy stay or a kick-ass swanky art hotel - this place ticks all the wants you probably would like to experience on a vacation.



For a start, I highly recommend you check yourself into the exclusive Circular Room that comes with an iconic round bed. Funny enough, it may seem weird and a little odd but trust me when I say it's pretty comfortable. There's also a pillow menu to maximise your comfort level, in case you were wondering.



The Circlar Room also comes with a huge sofa that gives you a pretty good view of the city. As night falls, all you can expect is a perfect view of city light - perfect for unwinding and doing nothing with a glass or two.




My favourite part of the room has got to be the bathroom that's marble-designed and comes fitted with a bathtub so you could laze around and do nothing after a long day of shopping and touring around. It also comes with a rain shower and Malin + Geoetz bath amenities to finish off that luxe bathroom experience.


When I first shared on my insta-stories about checking-in, everyone raved about the breakfast spread at Le Méridien. Kind of bummed that I didn't get the experience it the first morning (due to the extra comfy bed), I made an effort to head down earlier the next day before checking-out, only to realise how much I was missing out on.

Think a full spread of breakfast items from fresh juices (juiced using fresh fruits on the spot for you, by the way), a Japanese counter with Japanese breakfast items, fresh pastries and many more stuff you wouldn't expect to be seeing on a typical hotel breakfast spread. What wow-ed me honestly, was the fact that they bothered to customise my Instagram handle on my latte!



On the sixth floor of the hotel, you can opt for a workout at their fitness centre or take a splash in the pool. The fully equipped Technogym overlooks the pool that has a perfect Instagram-worthy background. There's also an option to have a cocktail or two at their poolside bar, Plunge.



Of course, I had to try out their award-winning spa before leaving the place. The Spa by Le Méridien boasts many treatments and I highly recommend that Hot Lava Stone Massage that uses heated volcanic stones and warm aromatic oil for a healing and stress-relieving experience.

As I mentioned earlier, Le Méridien Bangkok ticks almost all (if not all) of what you would expect of a 5-star luxury hotel when on a vacation. They are also a stone throw away from popular tourist attractions such as the Patpong Night Market and of course nightlife is aplenty just across the road. Now, if someone would - please fast-forward my life and book me my next stay with them.
