What’s up with nationality restrictions at some hotels? is a post from: Thai Hotels Blog.

Do some hotels in Thailand discriminate against guests based on their nationality?

While browsing through a number of third party hotel reservation booking sites, I occasionally come across hotels that have a notice regarding a restriction on the nationalities of guests who can book through their site.

For example on Agoda, I sometimes see things like this:

Looking at the list of countries, I could not help but become suspicious.  Could it be that the hotel simply doesn’t want guests from this region of the world in their hotel?

While most of the hotels for which this policy is displayed are in the 3.5 star range, there are a few 4 and 5 star hotels.

I called a couple of these hotels and was assured that they accept guests regardless of nationality. They even proceeded to process a reservation for me while I claimed that I carried an Egyptian passport at one hotel, and a Moroccan passport at another.

I’ve also seen these types of nationality restrictions listed for Japanese and Thai nationals as well. From first hand experience, I know exactly what these two are about.

Many hotels and resorts throughout Thailand offer discounted rates to Thai nationals, and foreigners living in Thailand. This is because rates are normally geared towards foreign tourists, who for the most part, are more affluent than the locals. Showing your Thai passport or work permit will entitle you to a discount at such hotels which is not available through third party booking sites, thus the notice.

The Japanese market however, is a totally different story. In the local market, Japanese hotels charge by the guest, not by the room, basically doubling or tripling the yield per room.  With Japanese travelers accustomed to this arrangement, some travel agencies conspire with hotels overseas to basically extract twice the money per hotel room from Japanese guests.  Of course if Japanese guests rock up with a normal booking – not the jacked-up per person rate- the hotel is not going to reject the reservation.

I have come to the conclusion that such nationality restrictions are not a sign of racism by the hotel, or the reservation company.  I feel that we can take the policy at face value and believe that certain hotels have signed exclusive deals with particular travel companies in certain countries.

I also suspect, though of course I have not confirmed, that if a person of one of the nationalities listed makes a reservation, that it will be honored by the hotel.

Have you ever had experience with booking at a hotel with such “restrictions” If so, please share your story below.

Anantara Bangkok Riverside Resort is a post from: Thai Hotels Blog.

On “the other side” of the Chao Phraya River, a short boat ride away you will find the Anantara Bangkok Riverside Resort. While it is located only 10 or 15 minutes from the heart of Bangkok, it feels like it is a world away with a true resort feeling.

Getting there

The resort operates two complimentary shuttle boats between the Saphan Taksin Skytrain station and the Anantara Bangkok Riverside Resort. These leave every 20 minutes and the ride takes between ten and fifteen minutes. Look for the Anantara logo on the roof and either a Benihana or Trader Vic’s logo on top of the boat.

There was no need to prove that we are staying at the hotel to make use of the complimentary boat, which also makes it a good choice if you are just going to eat at one of the ten dining establishments at the resort.

Actually, many times, while staying at other hotels in Bangkok, we have taken this boat to this hotel just so we could enjoy the fantastic buffet dinner at the Riverside Terrace. Even now, we often take friends who are visiting Bangkok for the first time to eat here. The combination of the soft river breeze, the traditional Thai music being played live in the garden and the delicious aromas from the Thai BBQ buffet make for a dreamlike experience.

While the free ferry boat service is fun and convenient, I would recommend taking a taxi the first time you go with your luggage, as taxis are still very cheap in Thailand, and it might be a bit much to haul your luggage on and off the boat.

The hotel is designed with traditional Thai architecture in mind and makes use of a lot of wood and wood paneling. The Anantara touch, which has gained a reputation for showcasing indigenous cultural experiences in some of the world’s most exotic locations is everywhere and the service is excellent.

Pool

The pool is large and surrounded by palm trees and other tropical plants providing lots of natural shade and a real cool resort vibe. It’s very easy to forget that you could be shopping in the heart of Bangkok in 15 minutes from where you are.

While the pool is quite large and there are lots of sun lounges around, unfortunately a lot of guests from a certain region in the world think it is ok to get up at dawn, throw a couple of towels and a book on a few sundecks and this “reserves” the area for their use until they stroll back down at lunchtime or some other time throughout the day.

If you are unable to find a place to sit by the pool but see that there are a large number of unattended sun lounges being “held” for future use, just ask one of the pool attendants and they will sort you out. If you get yelled at by an angry European later (as we were), just refer them to the staff.

Rooms

All rooms are of course comfortable and well equipped. In each room there were fresh tropical fruits and flowers which are refreshed throughout the stay. The staff go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable, and in fact, when they found out that we were there on our honeymoon, we came back to our room one afternoon to discover a cake decorated with our names and wishing us a happy honeymoon!

Restaurants

There are ten restaurants and bars at the Anantara Bangkok Riverside Resort including a Benihanas and a number of outdoor establishments situated by the river.

You can sit and have cocktails in the cooling breeze or a full meal at riverside or even on the pier if you like, while listening to traditional Thai music being softly played live right there in the garden. It is actually one of the most romantic settings for dinner that I have experienced in Bangkok. From time to time you may even see some traditional Thai dancers perform nearby. (Yes I know I mentioned dinner at the Riverside Terrace twice, it really is that good!)

Overall we had a fantastic time at the resort. The rooms and facilities were beautiful and the location was great, far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok to be really relaxing, but still very close if you want to nick into town for some shopping or nightlife.

The 24 two-bedroom pool villas have private infinity pools along the lagoon, plus 24-hour butler and in-villa chef services and a separate check-in lobby” An overall score of 88.6

• Rooms- 94.7
• Service- 92.1
• Food- 78.9
• Location- 86.8
• Design- 89.3

Grand Hyatt Erawan

I’m glad to see one of my all-time favorite hotels, the Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok on this list. With a fantastic location, great rooms and always a cool, busy atmosphere in the public spaces, this is always the first hotel I stay in whenever I am in Bangkok. The Erawan scored an overall 88 on the list this year.

• Rooms- 83.3
• Service- 90
• Food- 93.3
• Location- 86.7
• Design- 86.7

The Sukhothai

The Sukhothai on Sathorn is another well established Bangkok hotel that has made a solid appearance on this list for more than five years running. An overall score of 87.8.

• Rooms- 95.7
• Service- 91.3
• Food- 913
• Location- 69.6
• Design- 91.3

While I am happy to see some personal favorites, such as the Grand Hyatt Erawan and the Chiang Mai Four Seasons, I am a little surprised that some of the newer properties such as Siam Kempinski and Hansar didn’t get a mention. These two hotels are both quite new and are probably still under most people’s radar (though the Hansar is consistently fully booked), but I think that they can certainly offer a serious alternative to some of the hotels on this list, especially the aging Peninsula and Oriental.

What do you think of this list? Do you think all of these hotels deserve their spots? What, if any, other hotels do you think should be added to the list of best hotels in Thailand?

Sivatel Bangkok Video tour is a post from: Thai Hotels Blog.

In March this year Sivatel Bangkok opened their doors on Wireless Road, opposite the British Embassy. You can see my review of Sivatel Bangkok that I posted earlier.

As you can see the rooms are really spacious with huge bathtubs and in this particular room there are two flat screen TVs, one in the bedroom and one in the living room, both with Apple TVs.

Sivatel Bangkok is located on Wireless Road on the northern side of Sukhumvit and facing the British embassy, Sivatel Bangkok is less than 5 minutes walk to the BTS Skytrain Chidlom station. It is a short walk to Central Chidlom mall and not much further to the Erawan Shrine, Central World, and then Siam Paragon, Siam Square and plenty of other shopping and dining options.
