Courtyard by Marriott, Bangkok, Thailand

Courtyard by Marriott close to Rajadamri BTS station and just opposite to Grand Center Point and behind Four Seasons. Inside the small soi, you can go to Lang Suan in 2-3 minutes. Location-wise, it's pretty good and yet it's very quiet. On its first few month opening, CX has a special package for 2 plus 1 (3 nights in total) at HK$2,180 but no longer available now as this hotel is getting more popular. The new package price is at around HK$2,5xx and I think it's still a good buy.

1/2. the room inside - quite spacious and the design is very user-friendly.
3/4. Standard TV and it's lucky that I got a 2 sided window suite.

5/6. the bathroom - I kind of like it as everything is jut in a nice position and very user-friendly.

7. the mini-bar and luggage area. 8. view to Lang Suan.

9. view to the residential and serviced apt. bldg/10. another view to the neighbouring bldg.
11/12. the lobby/reception area.

13. the swimming pool. 14. Marriott serviced apt. on Lang Suan.

That's convenient. Just a stone's throw away to Lang Suan.

I used to stay at Lang Suan area back in the late 90's. Back then there were lots of nice restaurants. Last time when I checked around there, it seemed those small houses were gone and rebuilt with high-rise condo, making it a bit too congested.

Yes. Langsuan used to be charming with lots of small chic home based eateries and some nice night spots. You were there in the 90's? We might have bumped into one another without knowing it. Ha ha

Yes... Pan Pan. The restaurant that was synonymous with Italian Food. Myabe I should not admit that I have been there at their lang suan branch. That shows how Old i am!

Which is the Evil one? Thankfully, I have not met any restaurants with that moniker in BKK yet, except for a rude one at Yaowaraj.

Android, not sure if we bumped into each other in the old Lang Suan era.. :)

TC, I am not sure if the one you hated is also the one I dislike. The Chinese restaurant at the end of Langsuan - that restaurant is crowded with tourist coach. I am also puzzled why that restaurant can still be there for years.

$100 US per night for this hotel is a good buy.
