Grand Millennium Hotel, Bangkok

[Sir Ridealot]

The opening to this towering hotel is well decorated with trees and a 'through passage' to Soi 23 for taxi's and other traffic that's guarded by security. The stripe-effect is noticeable for slowing down traffic moving past alongside the hotel.

The reception is a multi-chambered affair with a sitting area, reception area and sub-lobby's that take you through to different area's like the Business centre elevator.
Despite the overwhelming 'suit and tie' crowd I was gladly given the tour of the hotel.

I was really impressed by the bold and ambitious architecture. Once you take the lift up above the lobby you come through a floor of glass and a wide, oval chasm with rooms on either side greets you. The chasm runs up through the hotel to a vast skylight on the top.
On the roof I'm told there's a swimming pool.

The first room was a deluxe class (this is the cheapest class) which was opulent and comfortable. The beds are the right balance of hardness and softness required for a comfortable nights sleep. The views were splendid as well.

The Views are impressive and the balcony area's good for what you are paying.

The next room I was shown was several floors up. This is the Suite Room which has (typical of suites) two rooms and a bathroom, compared with only one room and a bathroom for the deluxe.

The reception lobby's do get busy, like a flow of traffic in some ways. The prices are fairly reasonable given the quality and surroundings of the hotel.

Deluxe 4,300 baht
Suite 9,000 baht

WiFi charges are free for guests, visitors can use a business centre. Unfortunately this is not cheap.

Visitor Charges
15 Minutes 150
30 Minutes 300
60 Minutes 399

Access is easy to get to the Grand Millennium, just follow the BTS to Asoke and head up Soi 21 (Northwards). The hotel skyscraper is on your right.

Some input from people who have actually stayed here would be appreciated. After many stays at Adelphi Suites on Soi 8, I'm thinking of making a move for variety. I saw this hotel recommended on another site, that said it is guest friendly. it looks elegant. From what i've read taking one step up from the Deluxe rooms for an extra 500 Baht gets the same room, but on the 23rd floor or above and free Wifi.

I've been gravitating more to Soi Cowboy than Nana, and the massage places like Tulip, Snow White and Mango, so this location seems like it might be better. Though I'm also a fan of Soi 8 for some of the restaurants and bars around ther and it's proximity to Lolita's and The Biergarten on Soi 7.

Anyone who has stayed at The Grand Millennium Hotel, please give us your input.

I am all for members encouraging each other to post more so why don't you lead by example & write a review of the Adelphi Suites for us all?

Noodles: I agree, and I will post a review of Adelphi Suites. I have made a few comments in the past about Adelphi Suites, and made other contributions. My relative lack of computer skills has caused me hesitation in posting such reviews (e.g. I don't know how to import pictures or videos of hotels/places, as has been done on this thread and other reviews).

We all bring different skills to the table Rawdog & all that is encouraged is that people contribute to the information base here, either with or without images.

Stayed at the GM in March 2010. Booked a Deluxe room but opted to upgrade to the Grand floor for Bt 1000 more (per night) since in the deluxe package BF was not included and it was costing me Bt 1,500 per person! Inclusive in the grand room was BF for two at the business lounge which in simple words was stupendous. A definite must.

The hotel was fantastic in all aspects....even room service where the quality of food was as good as a 5 star restaurant. Loved the ambiance of the place and found the hotel in a reasonable locality, meaning a short walk to the BTS station (Asoke).

Good crowd, excellent food, great service. Will surely stay there again!

XCESS: If I'm understanding your post they charged you a "guest fee" of 1500 Baht per time, but when you "upgraded" to the "Grand Floor" there were no guest fees. That seems strange that a hotel would have a different policy for different rooms whether you could bring a guest back?

If what I'm understanding is correct, I may seriously reconsider staying at this hotel, just on principle. It would seem "guest friendly", would be the same for all levels of room.

Nope, they didn't charge me a guest fee....was traveling with my wife. The booking that I had was of a standard deluxe room without breakfast. I upgraded to the club floor for an additional BT1,000 which gave me a better room and breakfast on the club floor.

As for the standard booking, they would have charged me and additional BT1,500 for breakfast alone.
