The Meridien Bangkok is the best of any Meridien I have stayed in.

The hotel is very stylish, with modern, well equipped rooms, a beautiful lobby area and a decent pool area (surprising for a hotel that's slap bank in the middle of Bangkok). The staff were extremely capable and helpful.

I was there on holiday on with my wife, so I can't comment on whether it's well placed for business, but it's centrally located for all the tourist stuff - it's right next to Bangkok's red light district, but don't let that put you off. The surrounding area is actually not sleazy at all and is full of restaurants (normal) bars and street food vendors galore. Taxis and tuk tuks are plentiful and it's a five to ten minute walk to the Skytrain.

We didn't eat in any of the restaurants and the cocktail I had at the lobby bar was disappointing, but they were doing a two for one offer, so I was able to drown my sorrows with a second one for free. That, along with the fact that it was quite hard to turn the taps to switch on the shower are my only complaints, which goes to show what a high standard this Meridien maintains.

Our room price was also extremely reasonable - all in all a fantastic stay at a superb hotel in one of the world's great cities.

I was staying there last week, the interior of the hotel is very adorable, Internet connection is very good also, service from their reception, concierge and bellboy is very good.
For all shopper, it's very convenient place to go shop all night long.
Will go back again for next trip to Bangkok.

Fantastic hotel in a great location.l
We have just returned from a 2 night stay at this hotel. We were given a great room with a fantastic view of Bangkok. The hotel is located at the top end of the famous Patpong night bazzar so there are no shortage of bars and eating places.
Also it is only a short walk away from the Sky train at Sala dang.
All reception staff speak very good English and are very professional.
My wife had a treatment at the on site Spa that she said was of a very high quality.
The Bamboo lounge on the 4th floor is a great place to stop for a refreshing drink after a hard days shopping.
Overall this is a great hotel in a great location with great staff.

My wife and I stayed at the Bangkok Le Meridien from 3-6 February 2012, during our 3-week vacation in Thailand. Le Meridien is an excellent hotel, clean, well maintained, the rooms are spacious, and the staff are pleasant and courteous. The hotel is in a good safe location and a taxi ride to most central locations costs no more than about 50 - 80 Baht ($1.50 - $2.50), though we occasionally skipped the taxi and walked. A skytrain station is about 600 meters away.
We were particularly impressed by the front office manager, Mr. Hiru Daryanani, who literally went out of his way to respond to our special requests. We also enjoyed the breakfasts, which were among the best we have had at any hotel (and we travel quite a lot). Our only complaint is that there is no free wifi anywhere in the hotel, including the lobby.
We would not hesitate warmly recommending this hotel to other travelers, and we would add that the hotel seems to be especially suitable for business travelers (though, as I stated, we were vacationers).
