Centara Grand Central World Hotel Review - Heart Of Bangkok Shopping Stay

The Centara Grand & Bangkok Convention Centre is a prestigious hotel located in the Pathum Wan District of Bangkok, Thailand. This impressive hotel is part of the renowned Centara Hotels and Resorts, a brand under the Central Group. With 55 floors, the hotel offers a holistic lifestyle complex on the 26th floor, complete with breathtaking city views and resort-style amenities.

Upon arrival, I was warmly welcomed by the hotel staff and escorted to the 54th floor, where I had exclusive access to the club lounge. This allowed me to enjoy private amenities and avoid the hustle and bustle of other guests on the 26th floor. While waiting for my room, I was graciously provided access to the Club Superior, which was a delightful surprise. The staff’s attentiveness and exceptional service continued throughout my entire stay.

This thoughtfully designed Deluxe room is beautifully decorated in a soothing cream colour scheme with pops of regal purple. The expansive floor-to-ceiling windows offer stunning views of Bangkok’s skyline, creating the perfect backdrop for starting the day from the comfort of a king-sized bed. With an abundance of plush pillows and cosy bed linens, a restful night’s sleep is guaranteed.

The dedicated working desk in the suite was perfect for staying productive on business tasks. With its spacious table and comfortable chair, it provided an ideal setting for writing and working. Additionally, the suite offered a stunning view of the vibrant city of Bangkok at night, which was both inspiring and energizing. Being centrally located allowed me to witness the bustling nightlife of Bangkok, adding to the overall appeal of the suite. Unlike many hotel rooms, this suite provided ample seating options, including a cosy lounge area. This allowed me to relax and enjoy a glass of sparkling wine with family and friends in a comfortable setting.

Bathroom

The bathroom in the hotel room was generously sized and had a soothing atmosphere. It provided a perfect setting for me and my daughter to enjoy a luxurious bath, complete with all the necessary amenities. The oversized, plush towels added to the overall sense of relaxation. Additionally, the spacious and well-equipped shower was a welcome treat after a long, hot walk to nearby shopping destinations like Siam Paragon and Siam Center, which were conveniently just ten minutes away. This allowed us to continue our indulgence in luxury shopping and explore the latest trends in South East Asia while staying in Bangkok.

A highlight of the facility is the presence of two spacious outdoor jacuzzis, providing a picturesque cityscape of Bangkok. It is highly recommended to visit SPA Cenvaree during both day and night and for those with extra time, indulging in a massage is a wonderful treat.

The hotel features a spacious outdoor pool that offers breathtaking views of Bangkok. It serves as an ideal spot to relax and cool down in the hot city. The pool is accompanied by comfortable sundecks, providing guests with a satisfying urban experience while they soak up the surroundings and enjoy their stay at the hotel.
