Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok, Bangkok

I usually come here for my business trips because of its convenient location and efficient service. However, last month, I came with my wife and we stayed in the Spa Cottage. The minute we stepped into the cottage, we were stunned. The room is large, very modern, yet very relaxing. It has a spa treatment room, living room, bedroom, and private patio. We had a really nice time.

I did not expect much before going to the Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok from reading the reviews on this site. However, I would have to say I was very impressed. The location is fabulous-right in the heart of the city and within walking distance from all the major shopping malls. The staff is excellent--very professional and helpful. Restaurant selections are also wonderful, especially the Italian and Thai restaurants. What I love most is the Spa and Fitness facilities. The gym is so modern, open 25 hours, plus it has a top of the line jacuzzi and steam+sauna rooms. The pool is outstanding. I felt like I was swimming in a resort. The Spa is one of the best i've ever been to. In short, great location, fantastic staff, and superb facilities.

On a whim and a splurge we booked a "spa cottage" -- one of 5 suites they added two years or so back that sit next to the pool on the deck of the hotel. We were glad we did. These suites contain their own spa-treatment facilities and adjoin the pool. They feel very restful and restorative, yet are mere feet from the crossroads of Bangkok. Hard to beat for a combination of getting away from it all yet not getting away at all. Many thoughtful touches in these rooms. A splurge but by the standards of Aman resorts or rates in major Western cities really a bargain.

I had a bad experience in Spasso last weekend. The number of "workers" has risen dramatically. It is sad to see how decent local folks out to have a good time with their friends being mistaken as "workers". Lost the plot? I think so.

the hotel looks not mantained, dirty and dusty, rooms are not very clean, Not to talk about the pool area, very dissapointed, food at the dining is gone down, terrible and cheap, no variety anymore......what happen????? Spasso is now only for prostitiutes and it looks like staff have a great time there. Bakery is a dump. and so on..... overall experience very bad, will not return again

Just stayed there (early May 2005), swimming pool and outdoor area are under construction. We were only told after checking in (we saw other people had the same experience in the hotel). If you request, Hotel can arrange you to use another hotel's pool (We went to Raffles Int'l).

Great location with Skytrain stations nearby. Shopping located around hotel. The staff is very helpful and hospitable. The rooms were modern unlike your typical hotel rooms these days. Try the room service for a special night in.

I've stayed here many times, most recently in Feb 2004. It's a gleaming hotel, good for business travelers, with very nice rooms. Good location, with shopping and transportation very close.

a 5 star hotel without swimming pool and paid the same price as before.
