The Continent Hotel Bangkok - experience the peak of luxury and convenience

The Continent Hotel Bangkok

I recently had the good fortune of staying at The Continent Hotel Bangkok before I attended the Mekong Tourism Forum. The two aspects of The Continent Hotel Bangkok that I found most attractive were its convenience and the level of luxury that I experienced during my three nights stay there. It is conveniently located next to two of Bangkok's central train stations. The luxurious style and luxury of the hotel were evident in all public areas as well as my guest room.

The Continent Hotel Bangkok is a leading 5-star hotel that is only about 5 years young so everything is fresh and just like new. There are 153 guest rooms that are expertly designed according to four main themes – Ocean, Forest, Desert and Space. There is a choice of several room types - Deluxe, Premier, Executive, Continent and Stay Connected rooms. There is a choice of non-smoking or smoking rooms, and a choice of king-sized, queen-sized, or twin beds. The wide variety of choices means that there is something for everyone.

For a more luxurious experience, I chose an Executive room on one of the higher Sky at the Continent floors. This gave panoramic views down over Bangkok’s stunning views. The day and night time views were amazing.

I was impressed with my rooms chic and modern décor that had everything and more that I could wish for. My large king sized bed and selection of pillows were very cosy to sleep on ant night. I enjoyed local and international stations on the large TV, and used the complimentary internet Wifi service in the room when sitting on the sofa. A work desk provided space for the small amount of work I did there.

The adjacent bathroom had a large vanity and mirror and had a wonderful shower set up. Gorgeous amenities and fluffy bath towels were supplied

My upgraded Sky at The Continent room gave me access to many extra benefits, such as VIP check-in, complimentary daily international buffet at Medinii restaurant or a Continental Breakfast at Axis&Spin, Sky Lounge and Bar, and a complimentary premium-in-lounge bar service with premium drinks and snacks from 5pm – 7pm at the Axis & Spin. There was also a complimentary mini-bar, a daily fruit basket and unlimited soft drinks at all the hotel restaurants and bars. Also complimentary were 2 pieces per day laundry service, digital newspapers and magazines and local phone calls.

What I really like about The Continent Hotel Bangkok was the range and quality of the dining experiences available. The fine dining fare was both tasty and award-winning.

I enjoyed my Thai meal at Bangkok Heightz located on the 39th floor of the hotel. This offers authentic Thai cuisine in a trendy nightlife setting.

For a change from Thai dining, I enjoyed my Italian meal at the Medinii restaurant. This offers the finest Italian fare in an intimate and romantic setting on the 35th floor of the hotel. This restaurant also offers a Sky Dining concept (soup, salad, unlimited beverages plus unlimited pasta and pizza along with one main dish and one dessert).

Axis & Spin, Sky Lounge and Bar is The Continent’s premier boutique lifestyle sky bar. Located on the 38th floor of the hotel with panoramic views over Bangkok.

The H2O pool bar is next to the swimming pool on the 37th floor and is the ideal spot for sipping fruity cocktails while relaxing outdoors.

The Compass Lounge offers all-day light snacks as well as a luxurious afternoon tea.

In another article, I will give more detail od the meals I enjoyed at the hotels various dining venues.

As mentioned before, I found the location of The Continent Hotel Bangkok ideal. It is right next to Asok BTS Skytrain station and the underground Sukhumvit MRT subway station. This makes arriving at the hotel from the airport very easy, and travel to other parts of Bangkok just as easy.

The Continent Hotel Bangkok is located on Sukhumvit Road, Bangkok's major thoroughfare that offers the best dining, nightlife, entertainment and shopping experiences Bangkok has to offer. Along this road are many boutique shops and large shopping malls. The impressive Terminal 21 Mall is just across the street, and The Emporium Bangkok and the recently-opened EmQuartier are nearby.

The Continent Hotel Bangkok is a wonderful place for both the business and the leisure traveller to experience convenience and luxury in Bangkok. Check out their website for special promotions and offers, such as free Sky Room upgrades and free luxury airport transfers.
