Landmark Hotel (Updated 11/2014)

Recommended Posts

Never actually stayed there but took my LBGF to the Landmark for christmas dinner 2009 and we have eaten there a couple of other times without any problem. Good location. Normally use the furama-xclusive asoke on soi 23, great hotel and 2 mins walk to BTS and MRT. The room maids are pretty inventive too, see pic.

I stayed there late Dec '10 ... took a LB back during the day and then a GG back for 3 days with no problem. I was quite worried since that was my first trip to LOS all together and didn't know my way around at all.

 

Great swimming pool area too!!

i have never booked a room at the LM hotel but IMHO they have a great F & B department. what mancity1 says is true about the Green House Coffee Shop and its outside patio area, The Terrace. an awesome place to sit between 5 and 7:00 pm and watch the girls come down off the Nana BTS Station literally by the 100,s on their way to NEP for the night. similar to Big Dogs and Lucky Luke's at the entrance to NEP this is a perfect place to perch and pounce, but unlike those 2 bars here you can have a nice snack or meal.

 

they have one of BKK's top steak houses at the LM and they also have what the local Thais and Chinese consider to be some of the only good authentic Hong Kong cuisine for the entire Sukhumvit area. for chinese they have 2 outlets, the main dinning room up-stairs (check the Peking Duck and soups) and then in the basement arcade area, under the coffee shop, is an authentic HK congee shop. congee, for those who do not know CH cuisine, is rice porridge, similar to what the Thais call joke. it is served with meat balls or shrimps and you can also get a side dish of fresh fried chinese dough (look like plain crullers from a doughnut shop) to dip into the porridge (gruel).

 

Thais have considered this coffee shop to be a very hip place to go late at night after drinking (with friends, giks or mia nois) or on a weekend morning with the family (2 or 3 generations). many BKK reviewers have also listed this place at the top of their 10 bests.

 

in the coffee shop there is a fantastic Asian fusion dish on the red jacketed chinese menu (not the green jacket main menu). they have fused Japanese green tea scented soba noodles with HK Roast Duck slices and added green pea pods, asparagus and shitaki mushrooms. the fat and glaze from the duck slices is a main ingredient in the sauce.

 

they also have some good sandwiches and burgers and they do a good pork chop (or roasted chicken) and mash as well.

 

the service is spot one, but it can get crowded at times late at night so you may need to be a bit more patient then.

 

the bakery that is inside the entrance from the outdoor patio area is quite good and at about 6:00 pm they set up a table on the sidewalk in front of the hotel to sell all the day's left over items. they are all still fresh from that day, but they are selling them all at 2:1. the sweet Danish pastries, croissants and baguettes are all very good. sometimes i will buy a big of these and give them to the Cascade girls, who like most women, will say, "oh i can't eat those they're fattening", then they dive in and eat the whole lot. :o:D

 

there are only 2 things about the coffee shop i do not like:

 


     
  1. the coffee shop suffered water damage inside the ceiling years ago and there is a slight musty odor that they have never been able to alleviate. despite this the place is still a very popular venue and even the hi-so Thais put up with it to eat the congee.
  2. the coffee shop is decorated with a lot of brass rails and fittings and once a week at about 2 or 3:00 am the housekeeping staff go in there to polish it all with a very noxious chemical. if this is going on i just leave and go somewhere else.

I have stayed a couple of times in the Landmark. The place is good and LB friendly, no problems with 2. My bill seemed to inflate over a few days though, paying for WiFi etc.

The walk of shame is quite long, the conciege has a desk near the elevators and grabs their id's at that point. The Shangrila is the same. Now I only use the Dream Hotel as it has no problems with 3 at a time. I usually stay in the annex which does not have a duty recpetioist all the time.

Had the same experience with the chocolates from the bakery area ... took a bag full down to GB and passed them out Christmas Eve ... the chocolates were a big hit with the girls :D

 

Never thought about hanging out there from 5-7pm though ... that would be much better than the bars at the entrance to NEP ...

Maybe it's just me I'm getting to old for this early drinking malarkey.

 

Have a Coke, water, or juice then.

 

As an oversimplified general rule, I don't drink until the sun goes down... An easy rule to stick to in Bangkok, but a little more difficult for me in Patters.

that has been my rule since ... there was a sun to go down ... otherwise the days and nights are just to long and i find i do not have such a great time. i also tend to separate my drinking days from my mongering days, or get the mongering out of the way around 5 or 6 pm, and then hit the bricks.

 

like mancity1 says, starting to show the years a bit more now and keeping up with 20-something LBs can be a challenge day in and day out.

It can be a difficult job indeed, but it's up to us to keep the poor girls in business!

Hi guys,

 

I recently stayed at the Landmark hotel in Bangkok. It's my favourite place to stay: close to all the places where I like to go (Nana, CIB, Darkside) and very comfortable, clean and excellent service by the always friendly staff that speak English very well. But I have to admit that the rooms are not very cheap. In general I visit Bangkok 2 or 3 times per year and then I stay at a room at the club floor. You pay a bit more (last time around EUR 180 p/night), but in return you will have breakfast included, and have access to the club lounge on the top floor with all day free drinks and in the late afternoon also free food. (some snacks, sandwiches, sushi, noodles with chicken or pork, lovely deserts etc..). The view over the city from the club lounge is breath taking.

 

The club floors are located on the highest floors (23 - 30) and they all give you a great view over Bangkok. My preference is the corner room, which gives you windows and views from 2 sides. It is a room with a lot of day light, with centrally controlled lights (can be dimmed) and curtains that open and close electronically.

The last time I was there, I was upgraded to a Club Suite. But I didn't like that so much, because you have a separate living room and a bed room, which in my view is not so nice if you are traveling alone.

 

After staying one night in the Club Suite, I asked for a downgrade to the usual corner room.

 

The hotel is LB friendly. On several nights I took LB's with me to the room and I did not get any comments/questions from the staff. They even did not have to show their ID!

 

I can highly recommend this place.

It's a very nice 5-star hotel with excellent amenties. Classy food areas and restaurants. LB friendly and one of the best hotel gyms in the world with the attached Fitness First.

 

However,the normal rooms and even on the club floors seem a little small and cramped to me. The Majestic Grande's normal rooms are even smaller. The hotel is expensive by any international standard and is really more suited to the business traveller.

 

Sitting in the outside food area on Suki Road watching the world go by is one of my favourite things to do in BK. Lots of high class escorts hang there I have noticed loitering over their coffee and phones!

Many thanks for the updated information fella's :clap: Now I can add the updated tag to the title of this old thread.

Zorrino it was good to learn about the club level and amenities as well as the differences of rooms. I was wondering if it was okay to bring your guests to the clubs lounge for food and drinks.

 

Looks like a glass shower too.....very nice.

I used to eat there and the outside food area a lot but never seem to hit these high class escorts. The only girls I see(and I see them a lot) are a bit older ladies who give me the eye and the smile. Yes I am sure they are escorts but never seem to see the good looking ones so far.

Siam Man, I have never had any problems with taking my guests to the club floor and they were free to use all available foods and drinks.

I know your post was made several yrd back, but at The Dream you mentioned the Annex. What is The Dream Annex? Another building?

The walk of shame is quite long, the conciege has a desk near the elevators and grabs their id's at that point. The Shangrila is the same. Now I only use the Dream Hotel as it has no problems with 3 at a time. I usually stay in the annex which does not have a duty recpetioist all the time.

The Dream has another building on the opposite side of the road. There is a main building with a car port entry and main reception. The other is smaller and I think it is more for deluxe rooms.

Look on Google street view.
