Centara Grand at Centralworld

Average: $250 per night

I rate it: 4/5

This is one hotel that avid shoppers should consider because of its excellent location.

Right in the most pulsating area of Bangkok, this hotel is huge and grand. Reception is relatively fast and you will be welcomed to a lovely room with a fantastic view.

I really love the state-of-the-art bathroom because it is so spacious, and you can actually watch the tv while soaking in the bathtub.

Room is warmly-lit and highly comfortable.

Cocktails can be served up at the lobby, which you can take out to the balcony and enjoy the scenic view of Bangkok at night. Great for hanging out with friends.

Room service was prompt as well despite being seemingly overcrowded.

Gorgeous pool and surprisingly empty in the day. I had great fun hanging out by the pool because it was so quiet.

Staff were ever ready to smile and serve, that was something I really appreciated.

Also, hotel is linked to CentralWorld, one of the best malls in Bangkok.

You should not give this hotel a miss if you are in Bangkok for shopping! It really, really pays to stay in a good hotel after long days of shopping.
