Chatrium Grand Bangkok Review: A Serviced Apartment Gem in Siam

Location

The Chatrium Grand Bangkok boasts an enviable location in the bustling Siam neighborhood, renowned as a central hub for both locals and tourists alike. Situated behind the iconic Siam Paragon and the luxurious Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok, getting to the hotel is a breeze. Simply hop on the BTS to Siam Station, and take a leisurely 6-minute stroll through the Paragon shopping center to arrive at your destination (shopping time not included, hehe).

But the convenience of transportation is just the beginning. The hotel's prime location puts you within steps of Siam Paragon, a shopping and lifestyle complex that has everything you could possibly need. And that's not all - the vibrant Siam Square, Siam Center, MBK Center, Platinum Fashion Mall, and Siam Discovery are all in close proximity, as well as the Bangkok Art and Culture Center. It's easy to see why this location truly serves as the epicenter of Bangkok's vibrant energy.

Accessibility

By Car

Traveling to Chatrium Grand Bangkok by car is a breeze. Just drive straight down Rama 1 Road until you reach the vibrant Siam area. Then, simply make a turn towards Siam Paragon and follow the route until you arrive at the hotel. It's that easy!

By Public Transportation

• BTS: Approximately 600m away from BTS Siam station.
• Taxis and Motorcycle: There are taxis and motorcycles constantly passing around the area. For increased convenience, however, using a driver pickup request service through apps such as Line Man or Grab is strongly recommended.

Chatrium Hotels and Residences have an exciting array of serviced apartments and hotels located in Thailand, Myanmar, and Japan. From the luxurious Chatrium Riverside, Chatrium Grand Bangkok, and Chatrium Residence Sathorn Bangkok in Bangkok to the upcoming Chatrium Golf Resort Soi Dao Chantaburi in Chanthaburi province, which will soon become a golf resort.

One particular project that stands out is located in the heart of Siam, just a stone's throw away from Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok and the famous Siam Paragon, Siam Discovery, Siam Center, Siam Square, and Siam Sep malls. This project ensures maximum privacy with secure access and a non-congested entrance. Not to mention, it is just a short walk from the BTS Siam station, which is an interchange for both BTS lines.

The project's interior design is impressive, incorporating Thai art, culture, and nature in every detail. The facilities provided are luxurious, including a fully equipped fitness center, fancy restaurants, and a poolside bar. The project is not just an ideal place for relaxation but also a perfect venue for hosting events with its spacious meeting rooms.

The project features two buildings, one residence building and one 32-storey hotel building, with a total of 582 units. The following are the 10 types of units available to choose from:

• Deluxe Room (46 sqm)
• Premier Room (51 sqm)

• Penthouse (321 sqm)

Facilities

1st Floor

• Lobby

Upon entry, you'll first encounter the lobby towards the left hand side. Ready to assist you at the reception corner is the receptionist followed by the unique perspective and color-alternating wall deco inspired by the Saen Saeb canal, giving the appearance of movement. Adjacent to the reception area are seats scattered across for leisure and relaxation purposes.

• Savio

Towards the left side is the Savio, a restaurant that embodies the essence of Chatrium Grand Bangkok with its Thai-inspired design. Savio offers a diverse buffet menu with an array of dishes ranging from Thai, Chinese, and European cuisine to a variety of desserts.

5th Floor

• THANN Sanctuary

Now we're gonna be ascending to the upper floors, where we will start off with the THANN Sanctuary, a hotel spa. This authentic THANN store provides an array of services, including fragrant oils and spa products, as well as actual massage treatments such as oil massages, aromatherapy massages, and a Wellness Zone.

• Kids Room

Next to the spa, where cuteness meets safety, is the Kids' Room. Here, kids can sit and play comfortably while their parents exercise nearby. Aside from being completely equipped with seats, the Kids' Room also offers a play area for children.

• Fitness Room

Moving on, here we have the Fitness Room. This gym features large mirrors and in addition to being fully equipped with a multitude of fitness equipment, there are more than enough for everyone.

7th Floor

• CASIA

And we see a restaurant again with the CASIA, this time featuring French-Mediterranean cuisine in Fine Dining style served by renowned chef Jerome Bondaz.

• Flow

Adjacent from the CASIA restaurant and nearby the swimming pool is the Flow bar, featuring a multitude of food and drinks (the former of which are more healthy choices).

• Swimming Pool

Speaking of swimming pool, Chatrium Grand Bangkok has it all! from the incredible pool size to the shade nearby along with the pool decks, hanging out and having fun at the swimming pool has never been this fun!

Parking Capacity

Due to lack of information on exact parking capacity, calling the project directly is highly recommended.

Highlights

• Amenities are close and extremely accessible (particularly Siam Paragon) through the project's shuttle service.
• The project is only 6 minutes away from the BTS Siam station, and vice versa.

Types of Units

One Bedroom Suite

As we stepped into the One Bedroom Suite, we were immediately struck by its spaciousness and cozy decor. This room is perfect for solo travelers who want plenty of room to stretch out and relax. On the right-hand side, we discovered the Pantry Area, which is fully equipped with a range of kitchen appliances and ample countertop space.

Continuing on, we entered the Living Area, which exuded a warm and inviting atmosphere. From here, we could step out onto the balcony and take in the view. On the left-hand side of the room, we found the roomy bedroom, which was surprisingly spacious for a one-bedroom suite. Adjacent to it were the wardrobe and the generously sized bathroom, complete with a bathtub for a soothing soak.

Two Bedroom Suite

Moving on to the next room, we discovered the Two Bedroom Suite, which is an ideal room for those who require a bit more space.

Upon entering, we were greeted by the Pantry Area, situated on the left-hand side, complete with a counter and a dining table. A few steps further, we arrived at the cozy Living Area. At the back of the suite was a small bedroom with twin beds that could be accessed through sliding doors on either side, along with an adjacent bathroom.

The expansive master bedroom was equipped with a large bed and ample space. In addition to that, the room was complemented by a "Sexy Bathroom," featuring clear glass partitions instead of walls. To top it off, the bathroom also had a bathtub for indulgent soaking.

Executive Two Bedroom Suite

Moving on to the third room, we encountered the Executive Two Bedroom Suite. Upon entering, we were greeted by a cozy Living Room with an L-shaped sofa. To the left, we found a compact kitchen counter and a small dining table. The two bedrooms were located further in, both lacking the unique feature of a Sexy Bathroom.

What's intriguing about this room is that it can be expanded by purchasing an extra unit, transforming it into a spacious three-bedroom suite.

Three Bedroom

The third room we visited was a Three Bedroom Suite, with the expansive master bedroom being the first space we stepped into. The total size of this suite, when merged with other rooms, amounts to an impressive 170 square meters.

Inside the bedroom, there was a cozy seating area and twin beds. Adjacent to them, we spotted a work desk and TV stand. Just a slight turn to the left, and we reached the wardrobe and coffee maker. On the opposite side, we discovered the bathroom, featuring a Sexy Bathroom with a clear glass partition and a luxurious bathtub.
