The Mandarin Oriental of Bangkok has to be by far my favourite in City hotel. Starting off with the staff absolutely impeccable, they were super helpful at all times, especially the driver that took us to Ayutthaya, he turned out to be our guide throughout the ruins.
The Room of the hotel where great, we were made to choose also which kind of toiletries we wanted to have for our bathrooms, the choice included: Apreys, Acqua di Parma and a more organic one. We were pampered from the beginning to end of our stay with beautiful fruit arrangements, various snacks and a delicious local tea.
This hotel really took me back to how hotels used to feel when I was traveling as a kid, Milly really appreciated all the effort involved and agrees with me that it was by far the best service seen in a while.
The Food at the hotel was absolutely superb and the breakfast was divine. I’m really a big fan of big buffet breakfast and the Mandarin Oriental really had to offer everything one could have wanted. The Restaurant across the river was just divine.
Forgot to mention Milly was shown the room of one of her favourite authors Somerset Maugham, the room was beautiful and really captured the spirit of a passed time.
I strongly recommend staying here!
