For a weekend getaway, business trip or honeymoon, Amari Watergate Hotel is able to deliver exclusive services, luxury treats for many types of travelers. You can find all the amenities and services you expect from a 5 stars hotel plus an impeccable service. That’s what really surprised us, most of the big hotels [and big hotel chains] are very comfy and nicely decorated, but sometimes they lack the human touch, however, we never felt this in Amari Watergate Bangkok.

You can choose between two range of rooms and services. The traditional Deluxe room that follows all the 5 star standards and for sure you will have a pleasant stay. But if you pick one of the rooms on the Executive range, then my friend, you will be pampered and treated with delicious food, cold drinks, and beautiful smiles.

We stayed at the Executive Suite and got access to the premium service of Executive Club, which means your room will be on the top floors of the building [stunning views], separated reception [quick check-in and check-out]. An executive lounge with complimentary breakfast, juice, coffee, and tea during the day, and happy hour with cocktails and finger food around sunset time!

 

Amari Watergate Bangkok has a beautiful reception and 5 types of rooms, all of them very well decorated, spacious, bright and with an amazingly comfortable bed.
The charm is in the details.

» Type of Accommodation: 5 Stars Hotel

Amari Watergate Bangkok has 5 types of rooms all of them very clean, well decorated, spacious, bright and with an amazingly comfortable bed [if you have traveled around Thailand, you probably have noticed that most of the hotels’ beds are hard, I don’t know why??!]. The bed at Amari Watergate was heaven, not too soft, not too hard, with different sizes of pillows and smooth blanket.

The Corner Suite is bigger than the other rooms [Deluxe and Executive Suites] and has windows facing two sides of Bangkok. The Presidential Suite is like an apartment, big and beautiful. We visited the room when the staff was preparing the bathtub, flowers, and champagne for a honeymoon couple. Have to the honest with you, I felt a bit jealous, the suite was beautifully decorated for them. We wish them a long-lasting love!!!

As we already mentioned, if you stay at the Executive rooms you have access to some privileges. Services that will make your stay more luxurious without costing too much. If you are a member of the Executive Club or staying in the Executive Rooms you can arrive at the hotel and go straight to the 32nd floor to do your check-in in the private reception, while they check your passport, you will be welcomed with cold towels, drinks and an incredible view of Bangkok.

The Executive Lounge is where you can relax, work, enjoy a cup of tea or refreshing juice during the day. As from 5 pm the cocktails, wine and delicious food are served for the guests, a perfect pre-dinner or pre-party. I’m sure you will not get tired of watching the sunset from the big windows, even the thunderstorms look pretty from there.

Apart from the Executive area, all the other facilities at Amari Watergate are available for all the guests. The swimming pool, the gym and the sauna are great. Band new equipment and super clean. As sports enthusiasts, we manage to wake up early and go for some workout and swimming.

Break a sweat with a view ?

» Location:

Amari Watergate is in the heart of Bangkok. In the middle of the shopping area, close to the biggest malls. From top designers to fake Loui Vuitton bags, you can find it all around the hotel. Restaurants, bars, street food and cinema. You can’t be more central than this.

The BTS [Skytrain] line is two blocks away from the hotel, taxis, moto-taxis and tuk-tuks are available 24 hours, and if you like to walk, feel free and safe to explore the streets around. Bangkok is a huge city, busy, but still safe. Of course, you need to look after yourself while roaming around town, however, we walked the streets near Amari Watergate late at night and didn’t have a problem, neither felt unsafe.

Don’t forget to buy your Travel Insurance!

We use World Nomads and SafetyWing. Just click on the name of the company and book your insurance now. If you need more information, read our Travel Insurance Guide here.

The hotel is easily reached from all the airports. From the Suvarnabhumi International Airport, you can get the airport link train, exchange to the BTS line and stop close by the hotel. From Don Muang, the small local airport, you will need a taxi to the hotel or ask the driver to drop you by Chatuchak BTS station, from there you can take the Skytrain to Siam or Ratchathewi station [both are the closest to Amari Watergate].

 

» Comfort:

Oh yes, it is very [super] comfortable! We can’t enough of saying that they have one of the best beds of our whole trip [almost two years on the road]. The furniture, the facilities, the common areas, everything here was thought and organized to make the guest feel relaxed and welcomed. Extra points for the girls on the reception and at the executive lounge bar, always ready to help you.

As much as I love Bangkok, I didn’t want to leave the hotel. The food at the Amari Watergate restaurants was delicious, the breakfast a true feast [from French pastries to Asian and Indian buffet]. Unless you want to try something new or trendy in the city, there is no need to leave the building.
