June 20, 20242 yr The old Dusit Thani also had a great selection. I may try to find out in November how the new hotel fares. I should add that the breakfast in the Meredien Club lounge, while much reduced from the main buffet, is still good enough, in my view, cook on hand etc. Also much quieter, if that's important! The Club lounge has been refurbished since my last visit, so I am interested to see if there are improvements.
June 21, 20242 yr Breakfast in the Amara is certainly adequate but like many hotels now the value isn't as compelling because it’s more of an add-on expense.

I have looked at the website, it looks better than I had expected, large rooms, Thai style. However I couldn't find any reference to a Club floor, and just 3 types of room, though all spacious

Currently only a few room types can be booked though.

June 21, 20242 yr Why are the suites not available for booking? Nonetheless, the "normal" rooms are huge at 50 Square metres. Seems like every room is guaranteed a view of Lumpini Park. Though each room costs from 10k baht each, with US$75 hotel credit during opening promotion, it looks like a good deal!

Im assuming that the 'opening' is partial, and therefore only thr rooms are ready, though, as you say they are huge. That would explain why no references to The Club floor, etc, which must not be ready either till a bit later. I imagine management don't want to be too open about a partial opening, they just want to get the punters in. I hope there is a big pool, one of the disadvantages of the old Dusit was a small, rather sunless pool. It did have a great Club floor though, with an extensive terrace overlooking the Park. Showing my age, when I first stayed there, it was the tallest building in Bangkok!
