Spread the love

Bangkok is not a shy city. It never has been. This capital thinks nothing of running a monorail past a centuries-old shrine or planting a mega-mall on a street where yesterday’s hawkers were still frying squid balls. So when Grande Centre Point Prestige Bangkok swings open its doors on 1 December 2025, don’t expect a discreet addition to the skyline. This is Bangkok — subtlety went out with the last lotus blossom.

By the way, reservations open on 1 October 2025 (grandecentrepointprestige.com), which gives you two months to convince yourself you deserve a Jacuzzi with a view.


Art Deco Meets Rattanakosin (With Gold on Top)

The hotel makes no apologies for its looks. From the street, its Art Deco façade gleams with confidence, suggesting it has spent a good hour in front of the mirror. But step inside and you’ll find more than a copy-paste job from Miami Beach. The interiors weave in Thailand’s Rattanakosin heritage golden textures, reinterpreted motifs, and details that nod politely to tradition while still strutting about like they own the place.

It’s theatrical, yes. But isn’t that why we come to Bangkok?


Location, Location, and Thank Heavens the BTS

Bangkok traffic is educational, character-building, and an excellent way to test your patience. What it is not, however, is swift, which makes this hotel’s location a stroke of genius. Parked in the Ratchaprasong – Siam belt, it plugs directly into the BTS Ratchadamri and Chidlom stations. Translation: your hotel slippers could practically carry you to Siam Square, Silom, or CentralWorld before the Grab driver has even located your pickup point.

Out the front door, you’ve got the Erawan Shrine and Siam Paragon; out the side, the Platinum Fashion Mall and MBK Centre; and the Central Park project looming in the near future. It’s as if the hotel has drawn a chalk circle around Bangkok’s cultural and shopping sweet spot and planted itself in the middle.


Dining: Because Duck and Jazz Were Always Destined to Meet

Food in Bangkok is religion, and hotels ignore this at their peril. Fortunately, Grande Centre Point Prestige has read the scripture.

  • Brass House Bangkok: Rooftop Thai dining meets jazz bar. Expect cocktails, saxophones, and enough skyline to make you forget your table manners.

  • Chef Man Restaurant: For those who believe the road to happiness is paved with dim sum and roasted duck, this Cantonese favourite is worth checking in alone.

  • The Garden Restaurant: All-day dining with views of the Royal Bangkok Sports Club, because nothing says “omelette” quite like a horse track backdrop.

  • Bloom & Brew Café: A café where coffee is artisanal, tea is organic, and the cakes are Instagram-approved.

  • Sky Bar: Perched by the infinity pool, doling out cocktails with the skyline thrown in gratis.

It’s a line-up that says, “Why leave the building at all?” And frankly, after your third duck pancake, you may not.


Rooms: Toys, Views and the Long-Lost Minibar

The 509 guestrooms and suites start on the 16th floor. That’s right, not a broom cupboard with an alley view. Instead, you get Bangkok sprawled beneath you, the Royal Bangkok Sports Club greenery softening the concrete jungle, and the city’s twinkling chaos stretching to the horizon.

And the details? Gadgets galore. Nespresso machines are for your dawn recovery, Dyson hairdryers are for the coiffured, LRL bath products are for the pampered, and washlets are for anyone who has decided plumbing should have its own degree. Best of all: a complimentary minibar. Yes, complimentary. A phrase now so rare in the hotel world that it deserves to be stitched on a banner.

The room menu runs from the 45-square-metre Prestige Signature to the 195-square-metre Prestige Penthouse, complete with panoramic views, a pantry, and a Jacuzzi so big you may lose a guest. Families get their own two-bedroom suites; romantics get their private Jacuzzi pads; and if you want interconnecting rooms, a “Prestige Connect” option is ideal for families or groups who love each other, but not that much.


Wellness: More Than a Box-Tick

Many hotels treat wellness as an afterthought. Here, it’s a production.

The Let’s Relax Onsen & Spa doesn’t just trot out massages; it marries Japanese hot spring tradition with Thai spa know-how. Think steam rooms, mineral baths, and treatments designed to flatten jetlag before it flattens you.

Elsewhere, the Sky Pool stretches a full 50 metres across the skyline. The Gravity Fit Club throws Muay Thai into the fitness mix with state-of-the-art TechnoGym gear. Meanwhile, kids can run riot in a carnival-themed Kids Club curated by PlanToy, or disappear into a Games Room armed with arcade classics and PlayStation. In short, everyone’s accounted for, from the zen seekers to the joystick warriors.


Meetings and Ballrooms: Because Bangkok Never Says No to a Party

In Bangkok, an event isn’t just an event. It’s a theatre. Grande Centre Point Prestige obliges with spaces ranging from intimate rooms at 90 sqm to a ballroom at 437 sqm, holding up to 600 guests. Add giant LED screens, glasshouse options, and garden backdrops, and you have a stage ready for weddings, galas, or conferences with more sparkle than a Bangkok tuk-tuk at midnight.


Opening Gambit: Early Birds Get the Skyline

Like any new starlet, the hotel is launching with promotions designed to lure early adopters. Reservations open 1 October 2025, and the curtain rises 1 December. Banquets and ballrooms are on offer from day one.

For more, dial +66 (0)2 124 1888 or visit grandecentrepointprestige.com. And yes, they’re on Instagram and Facebook, too, because of course they are.


Final Word

Grande Centre Point Prestige Bangkok is more than a hotel; it’s a flex. With its Art Deco swagger, Thai heritage flourishes, and an address that plonks you directly in the city’s beating heart, it’s poised to become a new chapter in Bangkok’s ongoing love affair with excess.

The city doesn’t really need another luxury landmark. But when has that ever stopped Bangkok?
