Oyster Hotel Review

Amari Watergate Bangkok

Scene

Modern with services for business travelers; large high-ceilinged lobby with seating island in the middle

The sleek and modern Amari Watergate caters to a large number of business travelers and shopping tourists, given its executive amenities and location in the heart of Pratunam. It has a giant, imposing lobby, renovated in 2016, with a ceiling that rises three stories and an adjacent lounge. The outdoor garden terrace is a more inviting place to gather. The large pool area includes a bar, and there's two restaurants, including the hip Cascade, where guests can relax and chill out. Guests opting for Executive-Level Rooms and Suites have their own lounge.

Location

Located in Pratunam, a major shopping area with lots of traffic and restaurants 

The Amari Watergate is located in the heart of the Pratunam shopping district, close to the sprawling, congested, and chaotic wholesale clothing market, and about a 10-minute walk to the Central World shopping center and department store. There are hundreds of restaurants near the hotel, most of which are Indian, Pakistani, and Nepalese, reflecting the cultures of the neighborhood. The location is central, but it's a 15-minute walk to the nearest skytrain station, and as this area gets clogged with traffic, especially during rush hour, driving can be tough.

Rooms

Large, modern rooms with free Wi-Fi

There are 569 rooms at the Amari Watergate, which range from Deluxe to Grand Deluxe to Executive Suites and Corner Suites, including Executive floors that have their own reception area; lounge with free breakfast, cocktails, and panoramic city views; and 24-hour butler service. All rooms come with 40-inch flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, safes, DVD players, PC/fax links, coffeemakers, minibars, free Wi-Fi, robes and slippers, and marble bathrooms with separate showers and tubs. Decor is contemporary and includes white walls and patterned carpets; green and brown throw pillows add a little color to the beds. Larger Executive Rooms come with large writing desks and ergonomic chairs, and free DVD rental. The eight 829-square-foot Executive Suites have an open-plan bedroom, two 40-inch flat-screen TVs, a stereo system, and a spa bathroom with jetted tub and walk-in shower. There's also an 1,206-square-foot Presidential Suite with a dressing room and boardroom that seats 12 people. Rooms do not have balconies or terraces, and except for the 20 Corner Suites, views from the rooms are not spectacular.
