Le Meridien Bangkok

The Le Meridien is in a fantastic location. It’s in the hustle and bustle of a busy street but sound proof. We didn’t hear anything from outside to disturb our rest. The front desk staff was friendly, kind, and made you feel welcome every time you saw them. The hotel is beautiful as are the rooms. Our room was clean, stocked, and had a nice view. 24 hr room service came in handy as we arrived on a late flight and didn’t get fully situated until about 4 a.m. There was a nice breakfast buffet. We also dined at the attached BBQ restaurant out of convenience. Checking in and out was a breeze. We didn’t experience anything truly mind blowing but we also only stayed one night. We didn’t get to see the pool, fitness center, spa, etc. Based on what we did experience I’d book again.

Le Méridien Bangkok is a perfect blend of comfort and style, right in the heart of the city. The location is incredibly central—ideal for exploring Bangkok. What stood out the most was the stunning city view from my room, especially at night. A great choice for both business and leisure travelers!

Having stayed at a few 5 star hotels in bangkok now, mostly in the club rooms, I can now appreciate what Le Meridien Bangkok offers. From the time when you exit your vehicle, the staff greet you and run up to ensure they are the ones to pick up your heavy bags. The friendly check-in staff give a personal touch. The circle wellness room I booked was amazing, as always. My only disappointment was not having a coffee machine in there as per my previous visit, but this was explained by the concierge (the machine is only for select circle wellness rooms). The room itself also was very quiet, with possibly double glazing. The bed is really comfortable. The pool is on the smaller side but perfect for relaxing. The gym is also on the smaller side as well, but there is a good balance of pin machines vs cardio. The highlight was the club lounge where we were greeted every afternoon and night very nicely. The range of food at night is amazing and the service just put a smile on my face. The friendliness, professionalism and the personal touch at the Club Lounge was a highlight of my trip. The restaurant on the lower floor for breakfast on the other hand was mixed. The buffet food was spectacular, amazing, superb but the service is a little here and there. The person who showed us to our tables had no idea where to get some chilli in any form. He directed me to ask the kitchen staff. I finally found some chilli close to the noodle station (which he should have known - this is Thailand after all, and it isn't such a strange request). The other disappointment was for two out of the four days, no one cleaned up our dishes on our table or even the tables around us. Some staff would walk past, eye the dirty dishes all around and start refilling cutlery or wiping down already clean tables. It was a little surreal how often they could walk past dirty dishes and clean an already clean table. I did complain to the manager about this though and she was very apologetic, but it is a bad look for a 5 star hotel restaurant having dirty dishes on tables for 45 minutes all around and some staff doing everything but cleaning them up. But ignoring the restaurant, the main advantage of the hotel is staff. They are well trained, and they add a very personal touch to everything, seeing how you are and just making you feel at home. Greeting you warmly every time they see you. Everything at the hotel just works as it should, due to the staff being professional but still warm and personable. Just thinking about the nights at the club lounge brings a smile to my face and such warm memories. I will be back.
