| akyra TAS Sukhumvit Bangkok - reception |
I recently flew to Thailand to attend the Mekong Tourism Forum. I arrived in Bangkok several days prior to the commencement of the Forum and was fortunate to stay three nights at the akyra TAS Sukhumvit Bangkok.
This is a stylish new luxury boutique five-star hotel that has just recently opened. It was nice to stay somewhere with brand new floor and window coverings, furniture, and furnishings. It is evident that the design of the new hotel has been carefully thought out, as there is a skilful blend of modern Thai art and culture with contemporary design and hospitality.
The akyra TAS Sukhumvit Bangkok has only 50 rooms & suites in it, so is large enough to offer plenty of services but small enough to offer friendly personalised service. The rooms and suites range in size from 30-60 square metres of private comfort and space. There are several different rooms to choose from when booking - Superior, Premier, Family, Junior Suite and One Bedroom Suite.
I travelled from the Airport by the Airport Rail Link and MRT train. The akyra TAS Sukhumvit Bangkok was only a short walk from the Sukhumvit MRT Station. My checkin at the ground floor lobby was friendly and efficient.

After a welcome drink, I was taken to my Suite on the 8th floor and entered it using my secure key-card. The friendly staff person kindly explained all the features of the Suite. I was pleased to notice on the coffee table a welcome note from the Manager and a welcome fruit platter and a selection of handcrafted Thai sweets. Yum.
I was most impressed with the stylish decor of my One Bedroom Suite. The simple lines of the bedroom, bathroom, living room and kitchenette were very pleasing to my eyes. The modern design makes good use of natural materials such as timber that give the Suite a homely feel.
I appreciated the roominess of the 55 square metres of space with its separate living area to the bedroom. This had comfortable seating, decorative lamps, coffee tables and a wall mounted TV.
I found it convenient to use the complimentary high-speed Internet access and the personal digital safe. Also provided was an IDD telephone and voice mail, torchlight and fire extinguisher.
The kitchenette had coffee and tea making facilities, including a coffee capsule machine so that I could make my perfect cup of coffee. Complimentary bottled water was also provided.

| akyra TAS Sukhumvit Bangkok - bedroom |
I had a wonderful nights sleep on the oversized king bed with its comfortable mattress. I found the pillows on the bed to be just right for me, so I did not make use of the pillow menu that offered a choice of other pillows. By the bed was a bluetooth alarm clock.
I particularly enjoyed the floor-to-ceiling glass doors that slid open from the bedroom onto a spacious balcony so that I could enjoy the surrounding cityscape views.
On one wall of the bedroom was a 43” LCD televisions with local and cable channels. I could have made use of a home theatre system with DVD player if I spent less time watching TV and being on my laptop. In the bedroom there was also an executive writing table and stationery set.
The large ensuite marble bathroom had a rain shower over a large bathtub, vanity basin with amenities, and a toilet. The water pressure was good and the water from the hot water taps hot. Fluffy large towels, a bathrobe, slippers and hairdryer were provided for my use.
With everyones increased awareness of the environment, it is good to note that the akyra TAS Sukhumvit Bangkok is eco-friendly by being a a single-use plastic free hotel. They do not use any single-use plastic in its rooms or food and beverage outlets. They use biodegradable plastic and specially designed amenities done with rice and bamboo material. They use glass bottles and containers, with a commitment to use no single-use plastic in their restaurants or bars. Self-service drinking water is conveniently dispensed on every floor to make drinking bottle refills easy anytime during hotel guests stays. Bathroom amenities are presented in locally manufactured “celadon” pottery containers filled with essential oil-based products. Bio-degradable bin bags are used in all rooms and shopping bags are available to encourage guests to refuse plastic bags when shopping.

Each morning I enjoyed my breakfast at the Siam Soul Cafe. Breakfast offered both Thai and Western food options in a combination of buffet selections and two choices from a menu. I found this concept of selecting from the menu and from the buffet a good way to eat a varied breakfast each day without overeating.
