The W brand has a special place in my heart.  On a cool night in January at the W Doha, the idea for Room 702<\/a> came to me (of course, that was because I couldn’t sleep because we were placed over a DJ spinning nothing but bass, but if that’s what it takes to get an idea for a novel, I won’t complain)<\/del>.  Thus, while there are an absolute ton of hotel options in Bangkok, I’m glad the decision to stay at the W Bangkok<\/a><\/strong> was more or less made for us (my travel partner was attending meetings and the awards ceremony in conjunction with the World’s Top 50 Restaurants Asia<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The standard room is relatively spacious and includes some of the most unequivocally comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in (and I’ve been sleeping in quite a few recently).  I’m not sure why the bed was so out of control comfortable, perhaps it was the perfectly cushioned pillow top, or the cool sheets and soft pillows, but I will be comparing all future beds to those at the W.  With a nod to Muy Thai boxing, beds include an oversize sequined stuffed boxing glove (which charmingly read, ‘Lights Out’).  Bliss are some of my favorite toiletries, which I was happy to find and stock up on<\/del> in the bathroom.  I also loved the tablet next to the bed where everything could be controlled (no walking around trying to find a light switch or bother with the aircon).  We also ended up using the bedside Bose docking station quite a bit.  Finally, although sound usually ends up bothering me everywhere I go, I found the W Bangkok to be wonderfully and completely quiet — probably the most silent room I’ve been in during the past year.<\/p>\n
