The Hotel Muse Bangkok

When I was searching for hotel's in Bangkok I was faced with multiple hotels from a wide variety of choices until I found the Hotel Muse on Langsuan Road in Bangkok. 

One of the key elements that urged me to book the hotel was that there was a dark contemporary and chic feel and concept that was oozing with sophistication when browsing through the countless pictures and reviews on Trip advisor. Hotel Muse is a part of the M Gallery collection of hotels which participates in Le Club Accor and with a 40% off sale that was going on I couldn't resist the price of $89AUD per night that included breakfast and free wifi which combined with Platinum benefits included extra perks of a room upgrade to a corner view room and welcoming drinks.

Before jumping into a taxi we ensured we had the hotel address and contact information written down in Thai which we proceeded to hand to the driver to ensure a smooth journey as well as eliminate any detours and miscommunication. 

The moment we stepped out of the taxi a porter collected our baggage and another porter ushered us inside the cool, airy and intimate lobby towards a check in agent sitting on one of three desk's. The usual "Asian" check in procedures commenced as we took a sip on 4 different types of cocktail's while our passports were being scanned and our room keys were being issued. 

A clever welcoming gesture by housekeeping.

We were handed our keys to our room and while waiting for the elevator I noticed was that this hotel was very busy with a lot of traffic passing through the hotel through the elevator to either one of the bars, restaurant or to one of the never ending event's that was on. 

A large enough desk to play work catch up.

Our room was a nice corner room with plenty of space situated on the 8th floor which included a generous and extremely comfortable king bed that made us fight the temptation daily of staying in bed for the whole day, a gorgeous bathroom with rainfall shower head and spacious bathtub for soaking in after a long day in the heat and windows by the toilet, one of the key features of a corner room.

The bathtub with electrical blind's for privacy.

Boutique basin and wash area.

Toilet and Shower area with windows to the left.

Lazy Hotel Muse bathrobes.

Our room had plenty of space to shuffle around even though we had 5 pieces of luggage in various spot's spread out around the room as well as a day couch by the window which doubled up as a place for our carry on bags. 

I dozed off for 30 minutes on this beauty.

Extremely comfortable King bed and linen. There are light switches on both sides of the bed for extra convenience. 

The mini bar with complimentary bottles of water to the left. 

A Iphone 4 /Ipod docking station. 

Bedside amenities. 

Breakfast was served daily in Su Tha Ros located on the 19th floor which offered a variety of Western and Asian choices that changed daily which incorporated a table service omelette and egg station and bonus points for a fresh juice station and fruit table. 

Level 19 also houses the gym which provides free bottled water and towels with a small selection of workout equipment enough to make you sweat off the excessive calorie intake while offering views of the infinity pool just meters away for that post workout refresher. 

A section of the pool has deck chairs for relaxing. 

The pool wouldn't be suitable for laps as it was very small. 

A restaurant to take note of which is located on the lower ground floor is Medici Kitchen and bar which serves up a mean Italian cuisine fit for a king. Servings are generous and service is top notch with attentive waiters who are one step ahead to ensure we were satisfied.

Over all an enjoyable stay at the Hotel Muse with it's fresh decor and dark atmosphere, with plenty of accommodation options in Bangkok I still had to try out the Millennium Hilton.
