Time Out "Every space feels huge, but the rooms are a bit neutral; not so the sculpted steel-benched lobby, the sixth floor SPA centre (with round rooms for couples) or the spectacular Bamboo Chic bar." Full review
Star Service "Suave, stylish and contemporary accurately describe the rooms here. Each of the property's 282 units feature city views." Full review
Oyster Luxury
"The Le Meridien Bangkok goes for unique design and decor, from the stylish, large tinted glass windows in the lobby, to the rooms which feature floor-to-ceiling windows." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"The very classy Le Meridien is a giant edifice of French chic." Full review
Michelin Guide "With just shy of three hundred rooms, it’s no boutique either. This allows for a wide range of accommodation styles, from the simple and chic Vista rooms to the oddball Circular rooms" Full review

Frommer's "Guest rooms are typical of a Chinese-style hotel, with all the useful amenities usually found in more expensive hotels, but without sparing Thai-style touches and character." Full review
DK Eyewitness "In the heart of Chinatown, surrounded by a maze of streets and shops, this hotel is housed in the Grand China Trade Tower, and has comfortable rooms and suites with full amenities."
Rough Guide "The poshest hotel in Chinatown boasts fairly luxurious accommodation in its 27-storey tower close to the heart of the bustle, with stunning views over all the city landmarks."
Time Out "Large rooms, some with balconies, overlook the city and river. The top floor has Bangkok's only revolving club lounge (open in the evenings)." Full review
Lonely Planet "A certifiable monstrosity from the outside, this hotel in the heart of Chinatown is popular with groups and has nondescript but comfortable rooms buoyed by great views."
Fodor's "Hard to find, and in the middle of an insanely busy area, the Grand China is part mall, part hotel, and acts as a landmark for one of the oldest neighborhoods in Bangkok--Chinatown." Full review
