JIUJIAN1MOROUND GOES AMARI WATERGATE BANGKOK


     It was pretty cool to have the chance to be invited by Amari WaterGate Bangkok for a 2nights 3 days staycation back in April this summer.  After a few concerts 3 consecutive concerts from March - May . Finally i could find some good time to share my staycation experiences with Amari Watergate Bangkok.

While streaming through my self taken pictures and memories of the 2nights3days , i was amazed how the experiences  was still staying fresh in my mind i could  clearly remember , obvously ,  Amari Watergate Bangkok have left an impression, mostly on the good ones. And i guess it would be good to share some back ground and facts with my readers about the Amari Watergate Bangkok as well.


1st i was attracted with the stricking Orange icon of the hotel when i was browsing through the website , a routine for a traveller into special holidays or staycation locations . and later got to know that i am looking at one of the top hotel brand that have made themself a name in the pass decades of thailand hospitality industry. Backed by an international team of industry professionals is ONYX Hospitality Group. Having been in the industry for over 45 years, ONYX Hospitality Group is one of the Asia-Pacific’s leading hospitality management companies, with a portfolio that includes over 33 operational properties across Asia and more new properties rapidly being developed in the next few years.


Now coming back to Amari  Watergate Bangkok , with the much convenient location, Platinum a major shopping mall just across the street and BTS around.  I have decided to bring myself to this much acclaimed and popular hotel property this April. The very spacious hotel lobby speaks alot for Amari Watergate Bangkok .
Picture A 


Once you entered the more than celling high hotel entrance , the hotel lobby immediately sets you in a very holiday or stay cation mood with the high ceiling hall , busy traffic acroos the hall, just like one of those movie scene that the actor/actress catwalk in with friendly door men , big smile welcoming you , helping you with luggages and warm greetings, immediately you feels more than just a guests , you feels like some one important and having the whole well taking care of your needs duriing a holiday, you feels like a princ or princess , King and Queen :)


The checked in was smooth even during the busy hour of the day. I was located on the 26th floor which was told refurbished  in recent years. Spacious and a good view over looking the hussle and bussle of bangkok city .



Though i was a bit taken aback with the worn out of some fixtures in the room especially the table and mini bar areas outside the bath room. From the look of it , it doesn't looks like it has been newly fubished.  Could have been at least looks like the picture below

Which i could have better comment on the room , but couldn't . I hope infuture they would provide a better contition for media stay as that would affect the image of the hotels hospility and sincerity greatly.for a 5 Star hotel property. Therefor i can only compliment on other area aside from my room. but was glad to know from a friend that i have recommended to stay with the hotel was satisfied with their rooms being allocated.

Its only natural to expect minor hick ups  to make the the staycation complete. i will further compliments the strength of Amari Watergate Bangkok.  Besides the great location, good varieties of f&b outlets that served quality food was a plus point and makes it very convenient for food goers.
   



  I personally love the  cafe next to the lobby lounch. Try the drinks and pasta choices , and you will know what i meant. I personally recommended Penne with prawns in garlic herb sauce , to me a very safe and by far my favourite choice when ever i visit the cafe.



                                and tomato soup was one of my personal favourite too as a starter before the main



   After a day of long day of walking and shopping,  unwind with a cool glass of fruit juice or some quick bites.
                             

 The Promenade is the cafe and restaurant that provides a scrumptious varieties of breakfast , and you will notice from my taken pictures , the spread got me all excited even for a small eater most of the time, i go all the way and pampered myself before the start of the day, breakfast !

I recommended one of my publisher to stay with Amari watergate where they choose to stay at the executive level and received rave commends from friends family from comfortable stay till quality room services. And friends told me that they will revisit the hotel again this year end school vacation witht the kids.Well , i guess wiser thinks alike :)

All in all , there is quite a lot to offer for this executive hotel  "Certificate of Excellence 2015" in central Bangkok. From the hotel lift directory you could see what you have inhouse even without stepping out . From hotel’s various lifestyle outlets.  to the pampering touch of a Thai massage by trained therapists at the luxury Breeze Spa, or take in the Bangkok sunset at the outdoor garden terrace, housing a Jacuzzi pool and sundeck. Discover world cuisine at at excellent dining venues including authentic Middle Eastern cooking prepared by our award winning Master Chef Yasser Darwich. Finish off by lazing away to the sounds of Thai classical music in the lobby lounge.  It really keeps a lazy soul like me excited knowing handful of activities and spaces that i could help myself with during my staycation, not to mention all the surrounding attractions waiting for you in the heart of the vibrant Pratunam neighbourhood in downtown Petchburi, known for its bustling landscape of shopping bazaars and lifestyle malls. 

Its definately a "COOL" pick for any travellers that needs a good stay cation on their holiday calendar ! ( but you might want to have the front desk to show you your prefered room to check on the conditions to your satisfaction,  i am sure the front desk manager would be most happy to assist their guests )
