Inspired by the Queen’s passion that “the cultural heritage of Thailand resides within its people”, Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park signifies heritage in a venue where legendary Thai hospitality blends with the “Travel Brilliantly” philosophy of the Marriott brand. Strategically located along Sukhumvit Road in one of Bangkok’s busiest downtown areas for business and entertainment, Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park is also surrounded by several luxurious and lifestyle shopping malls with close proximity to Phrom Phong BTS Skytrain Station, as well as a lovely and recreational lush Queen’s Park as the oasis in the bustling city. With such a vibrant district at the capital’s pulsing epicenter, it enables mobility and easy access to some of the city’s most talked about hotspots.
There are seven essential criteria needing to be met to be a success of all Marriott Marquis and stand out from the rest of the Marriott hotels. In order to experience the epic and legendary luxury of an outstanding hospitality to be delivered, first it has to be centrally located in the city centre of any of the major gateway cities and followed by the architecture of the building it has to be iconic and able to become the city landmark. Unique wow and physical features or amenities that differentiate the experience from other hotels in the market is a must and the standard for Marriot Marquis hotel rooms & suites should include more than a thousand guest rooms, 100,000+sqf of total space that is refreshed with Marriot modern on-strategy décor and technology.
MICE plays one of the major keys with extensive convention and well equipped meeting facilities – the size and number of meeting spaces is greater than most Marriott Hotel properties and flexible spaces with current technology, light, sound etc, outstanding food & beverage capabilities and service for events and able to cater to large meeting groups or events of over 1,000 persons. Not forgetting by offering amplified food & beverage outlets at least a minimum of 4 distinct dining experiences with signature or thematic restaurants. Further to that, additional amenities such as larger fitness center facilities like their own Marquis Fitness recreational facilities and appropriately sized concierge lounge that also needs to be in consideration by meeting the Marriott Marquis unique yet compact standard. The hotel lobby is stunning, with a soaring high ceiling that is well laid-out and sectioned by the redecorated semi wrapped around brass mirror strong based pillars that were the original pieces from the previous premise and adorned with a roll of sparkling chandeliers that illuminates the majestic lobby. History is well preserved here no doubt.
The spacious Lobby Lounge stationed with a black piano where live music is played in designated hours and the other side of the lobby is well decorated with well spaced out big lounge sofas, and modern furniture that is carefully selected with a contemporary Thai motif and design to reflect the Le Grand Foyer atmosphere. Small pots of seasonal flowers scattered around on the small tables around the sitting areas with full bloom potted white orchids are gracefully well placed and add to the sophistication of the lobby. The stylish area combines casual dining and drinks, afternoon tea popular here hosted by the expert “tea Sommelier”. The elegant lobby is pretty much full on during check-ins and check-outs. Reception desk is not the first thing you will see but a large counter of concierge team members that are readily standing by to cater for your needs with a separate section and specified allocation of group desk counters to cater for the mass MICE registration as well as the regular front desk services.
Across the foyer is the stylish Siam Tea Room that opens throughout the day offering carefully crafted deli and selected gourmet food selections. This delightful combination of Thai and Western deli-inspired outlet spans the culinary divide with a great selection of freshly-baked artisan breads, pastries, cookies and cakes as well as authentic Thai flavors focusing on traditional recipes passed down from generation to generation with a wide variety of mouth-watering dishes.
