A vibrant city like Bangkok is always worth a visit even so it is just for one night on your way to your final destination. The hotel market in Bangkok is as vibrant as the city, so there are many place to choose from. This time I opted for Conrad a classy hotel in the heart of Bangkok (Wireless Road). As I arrived late and planned to fly out early I opted for a standard room rather than preferred Club Floor. Check in was a swift and I had been escorted to my room immediately. To be honest I did not expected much, but the service received and the layout of the room was indeed nice. Very comfy bedding and the bathroom was inviting enough to think about taking a bath. The breakfast buffet at X2 is alright- but nothing special as I do not like the overall layout of the venue. There is enough to choose from for most people, but it was indeed not my cup of tea in the morning. After breakfast I checked out the "flyers" in the hotel room and found an advertisement for an "old school" barber shop in the lobby. Right when I entered the venue I was simply impressed- as it is a mix of a cigars lounge, a whiskey bar and of course a barber shop!!! If you are seeking for a special service the gentlemen's should think about a brief visit.
Right before taking a few laps in the pool I asked for a brief viewing of the club lounge. Michel, a very friendly women from FO showed me around, explained everything and even offered to show some more accommodation options in the hotel. From my point of view I would opt for a deluxe corner room on club floor. The room gives you not such a boxed feeling (Michel's words) and while taking a bath you can enjoy the amazing skyline of Bangkok as the bathtub is next to the window.
Conrad will be my place of choice when I need my next hair cut in Bangkok!
