For my second weekend in Bangkok, I had booked two hotels: The Grand Hyatt Erawan and MGallery’s VIE hotel. (booking info)  The Grand Hyatt Bangkok is located opposite of InterContinental Bangkok.  The building is quite old and looks underwhelming when spotted from the Club lounge at IC Bangkok.  Yet first impressions can be deceiving.  As it turned out, the power of Grand Hyatt Bangkok is it’s staff.  They are all about service and making your stay enjoyable.

After check-in, I was escorted to my Grand Suite on the 21st floor (corner room 2122)  With it’s colonial interior and 80sqm not the most impressive Hyatt suite I’ve stayed at, but felt cozy.  The big comfy sofa in the living room was a plus.

As Hyatt Gold Passport Diamond member, I had access to the Grand Club lounge on the 17th floor.  Complimentary breakfast, high tea, evening Hors d’ouvres and cocktails.  Very attentive staff, great food selection.  Minor remark: only scrambled eggs for breakfast, why no poached or sunny side up eggs?Pic: i.sawan’s teak pool deck at Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok (iPhone)

Another highlight at Grand Hyatt Bangkok was the pool area.  A wonderful sanctuary in the middle of Bangkok by i.sawan Spa & Club.  Again, excellent service and fabulous food at The Breezeway (best Tuna Salad ever!)  Convince yourself with my iPhone 360 panaroma of the i.sawan teak pool deck.
