Novotel Suvarnabhumi - Bangkok - Overview

Just a 10 minute walk from Bangkok’s main international airport, Novotel Suvarnabhumi is a plush hotel that graciously welcomes guests to the country dubbed as the Land of Smiles.

With warm and smiling staff awaiting, guests are then escorted to their spacious guestrooms, which are known to have some of the softest beds around. Whether for business, as an escape from the city's downtown or for quick transfers to and from the airport, the property certainly lives up to the reputation that comes attached to an internationally accredited name like the Novotel.

There is nothing like a room at Novotel Suvarnabhumi, especially after a flight to Bangkok. The modern and posh décor certainly relaxes the senses and calls for guests to try out the ultra-soft beds. All rooms have more than enough space for an entire family. In addition, an expansive work desk, flat screen television with satellite channels, internet access as well as marble bathrooms with separate showers portray each room.

There are more than enough choices at Novotel Suvarnabhumi to satisfy even the most discerning tastes. Sala Thai is the hotel's signature Thai restaurant, welcoming guests to the land known for its blend of irresistible dishes and flavors, including the famous spicy and sour Tom Yum Goong soup! Regardless of flight departures and arrivals, guests are always ensured of a meal at The Square, open 24 hours a day and serving dishes from around the globe. Visitors with a taste for Chinese should head to Golden Village Restaurant, featuring five beautifully appointed private rooms for up to 20 diners. Kinsen is home to a delightful selection of sushi and sashimi dishes with tepanyaki menus available upon request. A cold drink, refreshing beverage or evening cocktails can be enjoyed in the lobby with an enchanted ambience at the Atrium Terrace. Fruit juices, drinks and light snacks are over at the poolside Splash Bar.

There is nothing like a dip in the refreshing swimming pool, especially after an airplane trip. It is expansive with nice views of the hotel and features waterfalls. A spa experience here is also a suiting experience after a long flight to Bangkok. The trained therapists will whip guests back up to speed with a relaxing and soothing mind and body treatment. The well equipped fitness calls for active and exercise-routine guests to use its modern and certainly impressive facilities.

Combining a lavish stay of international standards with a location right by Bangkok's airport, Novotel Suvarnabhumi is certainly for those wanting to stay at a top hotel, with the added security of being near the airport.

Who should go?

Guests on one night transits should find the hotel's close proximity to the airport very convenient. On the other hand, if guests fear missing their flights, the hotel should certainly ease those worries. The property also appeals to those who may want to head east to Koh Chang, Koh Samed, or other Eastern islands and beach resorts, as the hotel's location offers easy access to the highway.

Season/When to go?

Bangkok has three main seasons. From December to February the weather is cool and dry, making it a very pleasant time to explore the city on foot. Temperatures begin to rise in March and the hot weather lasts until May, with temperatures often soaring to 40ºC. Bangkok experiences its rainy season from May to November which is characterized by frequent downpours. The city roads and rivers flood frequently during this time of year.

Location/Where is it?

The hotel is within the Suvarnabhumi International Airport precinct, outside of the transit area. Guests will be required to clear immigration. There are two ways to get into downtown Bangkok. First is by road, which can 45 minutes. Another is by the Suvarnabhumi Airport Link, which is five stations (or about 15 minutes) from Makkasan, which connects to the rest of Bangkok via the MRT subway system.

Specialty/What's not to be missed.

Cooling off in the expansive outdoor swimming pool. Authentic Thai food at Sala Thai. A visit to the Grand Palace. Exploring Bangkok by river and canal.

Food/What's cooking?

Novotel Suvarnabhumi is a haven for food and drinks. For an authentic sample of Thailand's renowned spicy and delicious fares, Sala Thai is a can't miss.

Traveler's Review

Nicole Niedik & Patrick Zuechner

Dear Mr. Granier,
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

On the occasion of our journey in northern Laos from 5th to 15th of November we like to thank you and the overall Exotissimo team for the wonderful time. We find it helpful to go into detail concerning some involved team members and provided services to express our complete satisfaction.

Your company was recommended to us by Mr. Vanhphenh Sengnham who we know well from our last year's journey. Beginning with the very helpful websites we could easy find our preferred way of travelling based on a set of various useful hints and proposals.

Our first idea was checked and completed by Mr. Jean-Yves Paille. We like to express our special thank to Mr. Paille. He respected all of our wishes, gave a lot of helpful details and answered all of our questions in a comprehensive, and courteous and uncomplaining way. We enjoyed both his great flexibility and his obligatory service.

We used the transport service offered by Exotissimo from Chiang Rai to Chiang Khong boarder station. We had a warm welcome in Thailand and a speedy but save ride and arrived just in time although our time schedule was ambitious. Mr. Sengnham collected us right at the ferry pier therefore also the immigration was unproblematic.

For the next days we had a comfortable and save ride every time. In Luang Namtha we spent a night in The Boatlanding which is a nice resort even. A special day for us was the biking trip in the surroundings of Luang Namhta on 7th of November. Our special thanks go here to the local guide from Green Discovery who made the day an unforgettable event introducing us local villages and surrounding highlights as well as cultural background and workaday life. The trip was well selected and scaled, the bikes in a good condition.

The very highlight of the whole journey was the 3 day trekking trip to the Akha villages round Muang Sing. We first have to thank the Exotissimo Muang Sing Office for the warm welcome and the safekeeping of our remaining luggage. Our special thanks go here to all involved people who offered a various range of services to us (planning/organising of the trip, preparation of accommodation and meals, massage etc.) especially to the local Akha guide. He shows an excellent example of his people's hospitality and proudness of its own way of life. He was always a good leader and bridge to his people and answered all of our questions in an unorthodox and professional English spoken way. We had a good board and lodging. Complementary to the local table the Akha guide and Mr. Sengnham show oneself as talented cooks. Especially the evening together with the villagers in Ban Lao Khao was an unforgettable experience. They let us feel their spirit and we had always the feeling to be a most welcome part of the community and their life.

We enjoyed this way of tourism very much and are proud to have the change to get part of it. We have the greatest respect for the founders and operators of the project as we could consider many hurdles on the way to this nearly perfect organisation resulting from language and cultural differences. We go to any lengths to give all of our friends a better understanding of the project and the life of the Akha as an example for the way of living of minorities in Laos in accordance with both own history and nature and environment. As a slight notice we would appreciate the purchasing of some new mosquito nets to replace older ones.

Our following night we spend in Phetsoksai in Pakbeng as backup for originally proposed Pakbeng Lodge. We found the hotel very nice, didn't miss anything and are therefore able to recommend this hotel.

Our remaining nights in Luang Prabang we spend in the Villa Maydou which is a very nice place and typified for the spirit of Luang Prabang from our point of view. In the Exotissimo Luang Prabang Office we had a great time exchanging experiences with the very friendly team members.

But our very special thanks go to Mr. Vanhphenh Sengnham. Without him the whole trip won't be such a great experience because he was always our bridge to the local people and their culture. He selected the appropriate local restaurants according to your wishes. He managed all the small problems resulting from booking mistakes or other things which could happen at such a trip with great professionalism and in his smooth manner.

We appreciate his friendly behaviour and his deep knowledge of country and culture. In addition he speaks German really like a native speaker and this will make a trip much easier for us. Most important we admire Mr. Sengnhams very individual and personal style. You don't need to ask but he will know your wish before. We are sure to travel with an old friend at any time.

Sincerely yours,

Nicole Niedik & Patrick Zuechner
