AMARI ATRIUM HOTEL BANGKOK

Foreign companies looking for an adequate place to stay for their executives visiting Bangkok need not look any further. The Amari Atrium has everything they may be looking for.

It has 568 rooms altogether, but the ones that would fit the bill of visiting executives are those on the 22nd and 23rd floors. They stand out because of their luxurious decoration, panoramic view, spacious interiors and a beautiful lounge.

Wireless Internet is available 24 hours in the lobby, main ballroom, executive rooms and lounge, restaurants and even at the outdoor pool. Rooms have working desks, cordless phones, fax machines, meeting quarters as well as pantries. The living rooms, bathrooms and inside facilities are brand-new as the 10-year-old hotel recently underwent a major renovation, transforming from contemporary Thai style to a trendy one.

Its well-equipped fitness centre features an aerobics and work-out studio, a jogging track, saunas and massage rooms. Sun-bathers can count on an outdoor swimming pool and a whirlpool located on an upper floor. For food there's Vivaldi, an Italian restaurant.

The Bangkok subway is 10 minutes drive from the hotel. For more express transport, the hotel has a helipad on its rooftop.
