L et’s Stay, Bangkok
The Continent Hotel
T
here is a very old saying in
the property business that
when trying to value a piece of
property the 3 most important
things to consider are location, location,
location. The same can be said for trying
to find the best hotel to stay.
The location, location, location line
came to me as I was writing a Trip
Advisor review after a recent stay at
the Continent Hotel in Bangkok. The
Continent Hotel is endowed with
an unbeatable address, that being at
the intersection of Sukhumvit and
Asoke which is often referred to as the
62
October 15 - November 15 , 2015
“Crossroads of Bangkok”.
Located where it is, the Continent is
mere steps away from the Asoke BTS
Sky Train station & the MRT Subway
station so almost the whole city is at your
doorstep. Plus, just a few further steps
and you’re walking into the Terminal
21 shopping mall which has almost
everything a person could want or need.
In addition to nine floors of shopping
there are also a multitude of restaurants
and a great cinema should you feel like
taking in a flick.
The Continent Hotel offers 153 rooms
and suites featuring six different types
and four different themes. Room types
include Deluxe, Premier. Executive,
Sky, Continent & Suite. Room themes
include Ocean, Forest, Desert and Space.
Each floor is also named for a City or
a Country. We stayed in a Continent
room on the 28th floor also known as the
Chicago floor. The views of the city were
great and being a five star hotel it had
all the room amenities that you would
expect.
There are 3 classes of rooms which
come with club benefits although here
they call them “Sky Benefits”. Those
