Great 5 star hotel just 300 meters from the BKK airport! A nice (almost entirely private) shuttle runs every ten minutes for both pick ups and drop offs so you should never have to wait too long for your ride (they have a little Hyatt Regency desk on level 2, gate 4 of Arrivals which is very easy to find).
This hotel used to be the Novotel and their contract with the Airport ran out in early 2025 so the Hyatt Regency took over. So it definitely got a bit of an upgrade in the last 6 months.
This is a very classic and classy hotel with an incredible pool (perfect for the kids to splash around before their big flight).
The hotel is massive and has a lot of wood themes and Thai Buddhist art and does not have that ultra-modern “space age” feel of some newer hotels in downtown Bangkok. But this is not a disadvantage. The decoration is something like you might see in the king of Thailand’s estate- classic but not tired. Regal but not not pretentious.
It feels right and I thought the furnishings were both warm and inviting while casting a vision of a grandiose space at the same time. They have struck a good balance here and I liked both the rooms and the lobby.
I ate dinner and breakfast here and both meals were worth it. The Thai dishes on the menu were all well prepared and up to a good local standard and the Oreo New York Cheesecake was mouthwatering! Breakfast was thoughtful and had great little touches including homemade juices, a mini bagel and homemade cream cheese bar, French toast, pancakes, donuts, fresh fruit, made-to-order omelettes, a nice salad bar, and a great yoghurt and Muesli bar with lots of toppings. Definitely something here for everyone.
I highly recommend this place for a wonderful relaxing stay. In my research there were a few questionable 3 star hotels, some strange home stays, and some cramped sleep
Pods within a few km of the BKK airport. But this was hands-down the best and most convenient of all the hotels in a 5 to 10km area of the airport.
A great way to start or finish any Thai vacation!
