Finding Business Hotels in Bangkok

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

Business meetings can be full of trouble and strife, hard work and just downright harrowing, especially if the hotel isn’t up to it. But it needn’t be like this—that is, if you are prepared to spend a little time, do a little homework and research to know what to look for in a hotel. In theory the weary business person would like to not only glide through a business meeting in a relaxed atmosphere, but also be able to wind-down after the show. Creature comforts supplied by a hotel are all important.

For the host of the conference, it is paramount to consider location, accessibility, hotel facilities and service. Winding up at a hotel which is away from good public transport and amenities, or one that does not have the required facilities would not only make life uncomfortable for your business guests, but may end up costing you money in lost clients in the long run.

The location of the hotel should be near a convenient area at the heart of Bangkok’s business center and ideally set back away from the main drag to allow space for freedom and relaxation. Good access to and from the international and domestic airports is also important. Around 90 minutes to airports by car or by public transport should be the maximum. It goes without saying, but easy access to all business hubs within the city is also necessary, plus access to the famed Thai tourist attractions should not be forgotten either. Business people usually find a little time to see the city, even if it’s just for a few hours.

Now that hotel location and access has been covered, it’s time to look at hotel facilities. Again, the decision is yours and should be considered according to you or your guest’s needs. The following questions should be asked; can your hotel offer a variety of rooms from superior standard to high rating suite and deluxe rooms? Does the hotel have a good track record of staff efficiency and service? Are the hotel suites and conference rooms sufficiently equipped to allow conferences and meetings with high-technological tools? Does the hotel provide high speed internet ports?

Hotel food raises other questions; does the hotel provide a sufficient range of food that would suit the everyday business person? Not only does this mean that the food should always look appealing and appetizing, but it should also be of a high quality with an array of menus to include vegetarian, Japanese, Chinese and of course Thai.
