The Rembrandt Hotel & Suites Bangkok, 5-nights at 45 per cent off




The multi-award-winning 405-room and 197-suites Rembrandt Hotel & Suites Bangkok is a hospitality work of art. It has defined the travel experience through gracious Thai hospitality, internationally recognised fine and casual dining, and stylish innovations like the new 1826 Mixology & Rooftop Bar.

To celebrate its leadership role in Bangkok hospitality, guests are being offered a special 5-night stay at the Rembrandt with a 46% discount on room rates. An additional 18% extra discount is available for all our members. The offer is valid from now until further notice. The offer is only available for those booking online: https://reservation.rembrandtbkk.com/propertyibe2/?propertyId=568&onlineId=4

Rest assured, the Rembrandt provides business and leisure guests with a comfortable stay and affordable luxury in a city that often refuses to sleep. Its friendly, personal service is perhaps only matched by its outstanding location near Bangkok’s central business district, major shopping hubs, city landmarks and vibrant nightlife.

Nestled mid-way on Soi 18, a quiet finger road off Sukhumvit, the Rembrandt is easily accessible by skytrain (BTS Asoke Station) and metro (MRT Sukhumvit Station), a short 7-minute walk from the hotel or via a complimentary 24-hour ‘tuk tuk’ shuttle service to the main road.



From the Rembrandt you can walk to some of the best shopping in Asia – from upscale malls like EmQuartier and Emporium to brand-themed Terminal 2 and bargain shopping at Sukhumvit Arcade and Nana Square and pavement stalls offering souvenirs and knock-off designer wear.

In the streets that crisscross Sukhumvit's path you will find fashionable bars and pubs, trendy and budget-level eateries, mouth-watering hawker food, night clubs, coffee shops and more. Walk further and you will come to ‘Little Arabia’ for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine, fashion and style.

The Rembrandt offers a resort-like feel. The rooms are bright, airy and quiet. Your bed and choice of pillow styles are purposely designed for a great night’s sleep. Bathrooms are marble-tiled, roomy and feature tubs with rain shower. Featured are fluffy towels, robes and luxury accessories. Wifi, comms, in-room entertainment and service is at your fingertips.



Two large open-air swimming pools and Pool Bars provide quiet places to relax after a day of sightseeing and shopping. Or for the ultimate relaxation, the Ayurvedic Wellness Center, provides a complete getaway with therapies and packages to make you feel alive. It also works with a Bangkok visitor’s typical schedule, staying open from 9am till 7pm.

To make your evening perfect, the 1826 Mixology & Rooftop Bar provides an interaction with creative mixology of high-end spirits and fusion bites inspired by award-winning Mexican, Indian & Italian restaurants. The feel is completed with truly stunning panoramic views of Bangkok’s skyline enjoyed from an outdoor rooftop and art-driven seating. Acclaimed restaurants at the Rembrandt include the internationally recognised Rang Mahal, one of Thailand’s best for Indian cuisine.



With more than 50 awards, the 26th floor Rang Mahal rooftop and fine dining restaurant includes royalty among its patrons. A variety of set menus are available such as the Premium Set Menu, which starts at A$62 without drinks. For the ultimate experience, book one of the window tables and include Chef Rajan's famous butter chicken - Makhanwalla - or Murgh Tikka Masala. They feature a ghee-rich, tomato-based gravy as well authentic spices, fresh-sweet onion and—perhaps—cream.

The multi award-winning Mexicano Restaurante offers outstanding dining for guests seeking authentic Mexican cuisine with spicy aromatic flavors complemented by garden-fresh local produce, meats and seafood. Try the grill station serving roast rib eye, pork ribs and tacos. A small personal-dishes-from-the-kitchen-menu is also available. All dishes are complemented with the tang of mole and habanero sauces, salmon and smoked chipotle salad, prawn cocktails, seafood, plus wicked desserts, fresh fruits, and much more. Paired with local and international beers, wines, hand-shaken margaritas and 60-premium tequilas, the Mexicano is a fiesta experience for the family.

Da Vinci, the friendly Italian restaurant at the Rembrandt Hotel Bangkok provides a delicious taste of Italy – perfect poolside lunching for couples, the family and large groups looking for indoor and outdoor dining in a relaxed setting. It is a classic Italian trattoria providing value-for-money dishes including succulent hot plate pastas, stone-baked pizzas – reportedly the best in town - Italian vegetables and side dishes of homemade raviolis, flatbreads and wet-fresh salads.

The Rembrandt is family focussed. It also features a variety of female-friendly facilities including a private executive floor, the Ayurvedic Wellness Center, a fully equipped fitness centre and large swimming pool. Women are made to feel welcome and comfortable at all of its acclaimed eateries and its Lobby Bar.

The Rembrandt features around the clock security and car parking to ensure guests sleep well and relaxed in luxurious bedrooms and suites with private bathrooms, luxury appointments and complimentary wifi. It’s a living masterpiece.

"Each year, we comb Europe's most remarkable landscapes and cultural hotspots to create a unique collection of guided and self guided walking and cycling holidays that take travellers off the tourist beat," Ms Baker said.

With Poland now the latest 'must visit' destination, an expected favourite in 2020 is UTracks' new 8 day self guided Pieniny and Tatra Mountains walk.
