Essentials

Centara Watergate Pavillion Hotel Bangkok is a 281-room hotel at 567 Ratchaprarop Road, connected directly to Watergate Pavillion Shopping Mall. The hotel’s materials highlight easy access to Ratchaprarop Airport Rail Link station, and booking listings quote about five minutes on foot.

At 281 rooms it is far smaller than its neighbours, which means shorter waits at reception and the lifts. The rail link gives a direct run to Makkasan and Suvarnabhumi.

Overview

The mall connection is an indoor route to shops and food, handy in heat and rain. Rooms come in six types, from Superior City View at about 25 m2 up to the 107 m2 Metro Suite. Family stays are covered by the Deluxe Family Residence (34 m2) and the Premium Family Residence (39 m2).

With a rooftop bar on the 21st floor, ask for a room away from it if you go to bed early. Among the Pratunam hotels, this is the pick for a short station walk with luggage and a mall at the door rather than for very large rooms.

Tip: Book direct where the dates fit: the hotel’s website lists member rates and direct-booking benefits such as early check-in or late check-out, subject to availability.

Food and drink

Cafe 9

The all-day restaurant on the 9th floor, with international and Thai dishes, halal-friendly meals, a deli counter for grab-and-go food and a children’s menu. It has 88 indoor and 54 terrace seats, according to the hotel.

WALK

A rooftop bar on the 21st floor serving international and Thai food, with a DJ, a video wall and city views. It is an evening venue, not a quiet one.

Infuze

A snack and drinks venue beside reception on the 9th floor, livelier in the evening. In-room dining runs 24 hours with Thai and international dishes.

Amenities

The hotel lists SPA Cenvaree, a fitness centre, and meeting and event space including an outdoor venue.

Day to day, the Watergate Pavillion mall next door covers shopping and eating, and the Pratunam market area is a short walk away.
