Property: Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit
Status: Explorer+ Platinum
Room booked: Base room
Room upgraded/type: Upgraded to Magnifique Room
Room Rate: A$721 for 3 nights (originally booked at over A$1,000, dropped several times via RateDrop.net)
Early check in/late out: Arrived late on the first night, late check-out of 1pm offered, didn’t need anything later
Free internet: Yes
Welcome drink: Yes, used at Maison Mizuki restaurant for top shelf coughtails (amazing!)
Welcome amenity: A selection of patisserie cakes and some fruit
Notes: A lovely check-in experience at around 10:30pm despite the late arrival. Upgraded from cheapest base room to Magnifique Room on level 16. Loved the room - it was huge with a nice view of the pool and the bathroom was spacious too.
Breakfast was spectacular, held on level 2 in Bella Sera, and one of the best buffets I’ve had at an Accor property. Our routine each morning was to start with a coffee in the lounge before heading down to breakfast in Bella Sera. We also had lunch there twice, a two course Italian set lunch for around $20 per person, amazing value and genuinely delicious. 10% discount for the set lunch or 30% if you order à la carte.
The lounge itself was a great experience overall, afternoon tea was plentiful with a good mix of savoury dishes and sweets, and the 5-7pm coughtail hour had plenty of good quality coughtail options, a nice sparkling Cava and delicious canapés.
It does get quite busy from 6pm onwards, but the lounge is huge and wraps around the whole building, so it’s easy enough to find a quieter spot. Staff were delightful throughout and couldn’t do enough to help you (especially to drink more!).
The one downside was noisy children in the lounge, at breakfast and at afternoon tea on multiple occasions, kids running around, meltdowns, shouting and screaming, with parents not really intervening. Made for a pretty unpleasant experience at times and honestly I think executive lounges should be off limits to children.
The highlight of the stay was dinner at Maison Mizuki. Got 30% off with Accor Plus and also had a USD $100 dining discount from booking through a HERA agent, so the meal was essentially free. Overall a fantastic stay, would definitely come back and highly recommend.
