Shanghai 38 restaurant which located at level 38 (the highest) level of this hotel is specially created for Chinese food lovers who stay in this hotel. This restaurant specializing in Shanghai and Cantonese food: “Paris of the East”. A great place for either and “all-you-can-eat” Dim Sum lunch with more than 50 different items to choose or traditional Chinese dishes prepared by Master-Chef Jacky Chan. No doubt this is a sophisticated Chinese restaurant in Bangkok.
Less comfort/Inadequate of the Hotel
Well, what less comfort for this hotel is the car park. It is not well maintained and the lift from car park to reach hotel room and hotel lobby is not as 5 stars as it is. The outdoor swimming pool is not as big as you can imagine.
