lebua at State Tower

Mega uitzicht vanaf de 52ste verdieping

Alles was top

Mesmo o hotel sendo antigo, vale muito a experiência! Café da manhã muito bom e completo.

We have stayed at the Lebeau State Tower for 3 weeks in 2013 and had a terrific experience, we wanted to revisit it to see how it has changed and improved. We booked to visit the rooftop bar and have a few drinks in the evening and were really excited to visit what was once our favourite hotel in Bangkok. We walked into the hotel via the pedestrian entrance and found it very dark and unwelcoming, we were met by a number of shop owners hawking their wares to us as we hurried past. Once at the Lebeau State Tower we were greeted by about 6 staff members giving us the once over to ensure that we were appropriately dressed ie, no open toed shoes, tailored shorts and no sleeveless tops, having past inspection we entered the lift that took us to the lobby where we were met by a further group of staff that conducted another inspection of our attire, once again we passed muster and was allowed to proceed to the rooftop bar, or so I thought. On arrival we were met by several members of staff that ushered us to the bar below the rooftop, we asked could we go to the rooftop bar? We were told that it was for residents only and that this bar was for the general public but we could still get the same iconic views of the Chao phrayar river and City, only if you purchased the minimum of one drink each. Reluctantly we bought a drink and went outside to sit down and take in the nighttime vistas that the hotel is renowned for. Sadly the seats they had provided were so low and uncomfortable that my four year old niece (if she was here). Could not have sat on. I took one photograph and we decided to leave, on getting up the staff offered us another view of the city from a balcony at the same level but further around, an option we declined again. I have to say that this has been one of the worse experiences of my time in Bangkok and would urge everyone to stay away.
