What Our Experts Say About This Hotel:

Built alongside the Hua Chang Bridge, a famous landmark built by a past king, Hua Chang Heritage Hotel uses the era of King Rama V as inspiration, and transports guests back to the 19th Century. The hotel is a welcome addition to Bangkok's luxury boutique options, with a clear combination of traditional Thai elements with modern convenience and a great location for tourists with a busy schedule. It is quite hectic outside the hotel, but considering it is located a few metres from the start of Bangkok's legendary shopping district, National Stadium BTS Station and many other tourist attractions, that is part of its charm for many people. The lobby is a creative combination of white marble, Georgian faux-antique furniture and double-glazed windows instead of walls to keep everything bright and cheerful...and peaceful. The whitewashed, colonial style building has an interesting swimming pool that fills the courtyard and looks a little like a natural lake, and on the far side of the building there it a delightful restaurant, Miss Siam, serving royal Thai cuisine.

The 80 rooms available at Hua Chang Heritage Hotel are a mix of three room choices: Deluxe, Garden Deluxe and Garden Suite. The bold use of white from the lobby continues in the guestrooms, with additional colours denoting the type of room. The red and pink used in the Deluxe rooms is rather romantic and perfect for a couple; not so much for sharing colleagues on a business trip. The purple motif used in the Garden Deluxe rooms is far more subtle, plus these rooms are slightly bigger. Despite the smallish rooms, the modern design and open plan bathroom with retractable sliding door impressively maximises all of the available space. Other modern touches include Internet-ready TV and a touch screen control unit next to the bed that lets guests use the lights, a/c, butler service and alarm clock all from the comfort of their bed. Complementing this chic boutique resort are the staff at Hua Chang Heritage Hotel, who are attentive and diligent with period uniforms and respectful demeanours.
