Hansar Bangkok Review

Hansar Bangkok Urban Suite

Highlights

  • Beautifully designed, spacious rooms
  • Free minibar filled with beer, soft drinks and snacks- replenished daily!!
  • Free wifi for everybody, everywhere!

The people who designed the Hansar Bangkok have spent either a lot of time staying in hotels, or asking and actually listening to what guests really want in a hotel, probably both.

Signs of the thought and care obviously put into the Hansar when it was being designed are everywhere and are particularly embodied by the little touches that give you little “aha!” moments all throughout your stay.

Video tour of Grand Hyatt Erawan + Wish list

Grand Hyatt Erawan video tour

Here is my video tour of the standard room at the Grand Hyatt Erawan in Bangkok, one of my favorite hotels in Bangkok.

While I do love the Grand Hyatt Erawan, and it is always my first port of call every time I am in Bangkok, it is aging a little and there are a couple of improvements that I think would make the hotel that much better.

My Grand Hyatt Erawan Wishlist

  • An iPad docking station, or any way to listen to your own music in the room.
  • A reading light above the sofa chair. You have the sunlight coming in the window during the day to read the newspaper by, but at night there is no direct lighting to read by.

What changes, if any, would you like to see made at the Hyatt in Bangkok?
