Most of us would be familiar with Amari Watergate Bangkok. It has always been the hotel of choice of many business and leisure travellers, typically with Singaporeans clocking in the highest occupancy.

After so many years and many stays, Amari Watergate Bangkok is still one of my favourite hotels in the Pratunam area.

Amari Watergate Bangkok has been refurbished last year for greater comfort and to further improve safety standards. New furniture, art and soft furnishings enhanced the looks of the hotel’s lobby and communal areas.

The all-day dining restaurant AMAYA Food Gallery on 4th floor has also been injected a new breath of life.

Amari Watergate Bangkok offers six different room types – range from Deluxe Room to Grand Deluxe, Executive Club and Suites to suit your needs and budget. Guest rooms have been redone in a comfortably style.

For guests staying on the Executive floor, suites and ONYX Rewards members can enjoy exclusive benefits and frills such as dedicated check-in and check-out services, complimentary buffet breakfast, beverages and hors d’oeuvres served in the Executive Lounge, as well as complimentary internet access throughout the hotel.

I was hosted in the spacious Executive Suite that measures about 78 square metres and came with all the necessary amenities.

What stood out for me, beside the panoramic city view, was of course the oversized spa bathroom which came with a jacuzzi bathtub and walk-in shower.

The luxurious Executive Suite also features a double vanity area, a separate living room and a work area.

Apart from the picturesque view, delightful room and frills, the facilities and services from the hotel is worth a mention.

If you are planning to relax in the hotel, the first thing you look out for would probably be the swimming pool or the spa salon.

Head down to the 8th floor for a leisure swim at the outdoor swimming pool, or stop by the POOL BAR for some chilled drinks, cocktails and bar snacks.

Alternatively, indulge in a short spa wellness at the hotel’s BREEZE SPA, which is located on the same floor next to the swimming pool.

Even if you’re on a holiday or business travel, there is no excuse to forget about fitness. The hotel’s FIT CENTRE opens as early as 6am and closes at 10pm, you can enjoy a great body workout at your own time; or join a group class with fun activities such as boxing and yoga.

On the food note, chill out at Amari Watergate Bangkok‘s reborn dining venue – CASCADE, a laid-back street style cafe serving a variety of scrumptious snacks, baked goods and deli items.

The hotel’s main dining AMAYA FOOD GALLERY is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant features seven market-style kitchens with rotating array of cuisines such as western favourites, seafood on ice, salads, cheeses and cold cuts, Indian specialities, local Thai delights, as well as a patisserie and dessert station fully loaded with delectable sweets.
