The room was spacious, well-furnished, and featured a mix of classic Thai elements with contemporary touches.
The king-size bed was plush and extremely comfortable, ensuring a restful sleep. The marble-clad bathroom felt luxurious, featuring a deep soaking bathtub, a separate rainfall shower, and premium Anantara-branded toiletries. Small touches like a pillow menu, fresh orchids, and a complimentary fruit platter added to the overall experience.
However, the room felt a little dated and darker than expected. Additionally, the soundproofing could be improved, as we could hear construction noise at 11 PM and music from the live band, even though we were on the 7th floor.

Breakfast Experience at Parichart Court

As guests of the Kasara Club Room, we had the option to enjoy breakfast at either the lounge or Parichart Court. We chose Parichart Court because of the wide selection of dishes and the stunning setting.
Overall, the food quality was excellent, and the variety ensured there was something for everyone, from Thai specialties to Western favorites.
