    Has anyone stayed at the WESTIN GRANDE SUKHUMVIT. Are the LB friendly? I will be staying there in December but don’t have too much info on them. This will be my first time in Bangkok and with a LB. pretty excited. Thanks for any info 

    I've stayed there and had a LB or 2 come up  - no problems.  I did ask that the LBs be discreet in dress and action, its a weird hotel in that there is a lower lobby and an upper lobby (always busy) before getting to the elevators that go up to the room.  This was almost 2 years go, though.  That said, I would bet that you would not have any problems. 


  2. Sheraton Grande is in the process of updating rooms, ongoing for about a year or so I think. I really like the lower entrance, which allows a person to bypass the (often very busy) main entrance lobby. Big advantage for bringing girls back if you want to be discrete...

     

    The new Sofitel on Sukhumvit Rd is getting of positive reviews and location is very good. It's also newly built about 2 years ago.

    Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit was newly built in 1998 just as all the financial woes were hitting Thailand. I used to be very frequent visitor as our office in Bangkok was next door. However seeing recent bathroom pics showing up on girls Facebook pages, it is evident the rooms have not been refitted in the the entire time.

    JW Marriott seems to be in similar position and for the most part is a pretty tired looking 5* property.


  3. Aloft and Four Points are both great, no problem with guests at either and no joiner fees. Should you make arrangements with a girl, or girls, ahead of time and they're going to meet you at your room, hotel staff will call for your ok and escort your guests to the elevator. No direct access to the rooms, unfortunately. And they are both vigilant about getting your ok before they let the girls go. I am at the Aloft now, and frankly it doesn't seem too busy, but rooms are harder to come by at the Four Points so I think it's a bit more popular generally. Both get excellent reviews on Tripadvisor, for what it's worth. If you have SPG points both are level 2 properties (out of 6) so you are getting great value for those points, too.
