Information on the great facilities at the Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel in Bangkok.


The Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel In Downtown Bangkok

A five-star luxury hotel in Bangkok, Swissotel Nai Lert Park offers a unique city retreat in Thailand’s bustling capital with award-winning restaurants and a beautiful eight-acre lush tropical garden. A few minutes’ walk from the Skytrain station and all main shopping malls, with easy access to the business districts and Bangkok’s famous nightlife, the hotel is the perfect choice for both business and leisure.

It’s 338 luxurious guest rooms feature private balconies overlooking the pool and gardens, while the Executive Club and exclusive suites serve the demands of even the most discerning traveler. Additional facilities include spa and fitness centre, five dining venues, two bars, seven meeting rooms, a grand ballroom and a large, free-form swimming pool that is surrounded by lush vegetation.

Swissotel Nai Lert Park's eight restaurants, bar and cafe offer a deliciously diverse array of cuisines ranging from French to Cantonese and Japanese to international, with hints of Thai local specialties. The hotel also features an alfresco dining terrace. Whether it is an elegant special occasion or an informal relaxed meal, there is a cuisine and setting option for you. Live entertainment is available in the lobby from 5:30PM daily except Sunday. The resident band takes the stage at the premier bar at 9:00 PM.

Genji’s cool interior hits you long before you enter. The doorway to this Japanese restaurant is framed by cool, blackened stones and ceiling-hung flamingo flowers. It’s a promising beginning to a journey of authentic Japanese cuisine and glorious garden views. The highly-rated lobby-level restaurant includes a sushi bar, two teppanyaki rooms, public area and private tatami dining rooms. An All You Can Eat Buffet Lunch and special lunch/dinner sets are ongoing promotions.

Refreshingly different in style, Noble House brings together the best in traditional Cantonese tastes and showcases them against a background that is undeniably avant guarde. Turquoise corners provide relief against the more traditional reds/golds, while the ubiquitous round tables have been replaced by square ones. It’s a setting that attracts both large groups and small. Most popular for its Dim Sum lunch and one-priced dinners, the restaurant has become a popular draw for locals seeking quality, ambience and value for money.

With soaring panoramic views of our lush garden and pool, ISO is the ideal venue for any time of the day. Whether it is breakfast, lunch or dinner, ISO features the best of Eastern and Western cuisines. Weeknight buffets start on Thursday with an international spread, then get fishy in time for Friday’s Seafood Carousel buffet.

Genji Japanese Restaurant In Bangkok

Japanese restaurants in Bangkok are plentiful but ones that combine great attention to detail, authentic surroundings and good value are not so common. Genji Japanese restaurant in the Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel is one of those Japanese restaurants that combines all of these attributes. Along with attentive service and high-quality ingredients – a must for a top-level Japanese restaurant – Genji offers its guests an inviting place to eat good food.

I’ve eaten in many Japanese restaurants in Bangkok over the years and yet am still impressed each time I visit Genji. It’s an unpretentious place and yet elegant at the same time which creates a calm and serene atmosphere. The main dining room presents a more formal atmosphere than some Japanese restaurants that have sushi bar seating and teppanyaki grill tables, with its sushi bar separated as well as two teppanyaki rooms. There are also a number of private rooms with traditional tatami seating setups.

There is a large menu here that includes both ala carte items as well as set lunches and dinners and a special all-you-can-eat lunch buffet that is quite popular. On my last visit for lunch here I tried several items that were new to me, the most notable being a soft-shell crab tempura. I’ve had many types of tempura over the years but this was the first time I’ve had soft-shell crab and it was a welcome addition. Soft-shell crab has to be cooked with a very high heat to get the right amount of crispness and the chef did it perfectly here. I also enjoyed some salmon and scallops from the teppanyaki grill, miso soup and a sushi California roll set.

I could have ordered one of the set lunches which offer a variety of Japanese cuisine styles including grilled fish, teppanyak, sukiyaki, tempura and others along with the traditional Japanese Bento box lunch that is also on the menu. And the prices of these punches are all quite reasonable.

At dinner there are more set menus covering different specialties such as yakizakana and yakiniku as well as more teppanyaki items including Kobe beef. There are also, of course, a large selection of ala carte items covering all of the cuisine styles mentioned above. Basically, Genji can cater to just about every taste in regard to Japanese food.

So although there are many choices in Bangkok when you’re thinking about good Japanese food, Genji offers an attractive place to enjoy high quality food in an authentic setting with very good value for money.

Chaophya Park Hotel Offers Great Value In Bangkok, Thailand

The Chaophya Park Hotel, located on Ratchadapisek Road in Bangkok, Thailand, is a 400-room hotel that offers guests four-star service at three-star prices. Actually, at some of the restaurants you’d have to go to a top five-star restaurant to beat the quality. If value for money is something that’s important to you, however, it’s hard to beat anything that this hotel has to offer.

Quiet, well-appointed rooms that feature Thai artifacts are all a minimum size of 37 square meters and feature direct IDD telephones, satellite television, electronic control panel board, safe deposit box, mini-bar, coffee/tea making facilities and a private marble bathroom with a separate shower and bathtub. And non-smoking floors are available. Another important feature is the free internet and wi-fi access throughout the hotel. These amenities are all something that you would expect at any five-star establishment.

And another nice feature of the hotel is its convenient location. It wasn’t nearly as great a location until the subway started running a few years ago. Now, though, a couple minutes of walking takes you to the nearest station and in about 15 minutes you’re at Sukhumvit Road in in 20 minutes you’re at Silom Road, the two major thoroughfares in Bangkok. And these two stations connect directly to the overhead Skytrain system which opens up many more destinations for shopping, dining and entertainment. Mass transit is definitely the way to get around Bangkok which you will certainly know if you’ve traveled here before or live here now.

The Chaophya Park also has an adjacent convention and recreation center that is comprised of a 2,100 square meter banquet space along with a spa and massage center, the Bali Spa and Thai Massage. With a total of 70 treatment rooms this is one of the largest therapeutic massage centers in Bangkok. And with three ballrooms and nine meeting rooms the banquet center is a very convenient place for corporate events, MICE functions and conferences and also elegant wedding, birthday and anniversary parties. And don’t worry about parking since the property has 900 parking spaces.

One area the hotel pays particular attention to is its food and beverage service. With four full restaurants and other services as well, the hotel can offer you a wide variety of dining options. The featured restaurants are the Al Massimo Italian restaurant, the Park CafĂ©, which features all-day dining and ala carte and buffet meals, the Garden Court Chinese restaurant and the Mori Grill which features Japanese cuisine. Al Massimo and the Garden Court also have some buffet offerings, Al Massimo only at dinner (it’s closed for lunch) and the Garden Court at both lunch and dinner. At each of the restaurants we’ve dined at here we’ve found excellent value for money. In addition to these restaurants there’s also the Lobby Lounge bar and wine cellar, a coffee shop featuring pastries, baked goods and ice cream and a kao tom buffet. Even if you’re swimming or sunbathing you can get a drink from the Pool Bar.

To work off all the great food you’ll consume here the hotel has a fully equipped gymnasium and the above-mentioned pool along with a Jacuzzi. And, it is the only city center hotel to feature a full service golf driving range on two levels. It’s one of a kind complete with fully computerized caddies. There’s a full service golf shop and food and beverage service is available here throughout the day.

So if you want to maximize the service you get while minimizing the bill you pay, the Chaophya Park Hotel in Bangkok is a good alternative to many of the pricier places in the Sukhumvit and Silom areas and worth taking a look at.
