Forget Montien! I used it for 20 years or so - but it has become a pc of s-t. Left it years ago and have not regreted it!
Go instead for Westin at Suk soi 19. Great hotel, excellent rooms, fab gym and a staff that makes you feel special. GF and and some very cute TG to rest your tired eyes upon in the lobby bar!
Prices vary from 100 - 140 usd depending on season.

This last trip looked at Peninsula, the new Sofitel near Nana- stayed at Dream-- and stayed for maybe 20th time at Shangri -la
Peninsula- I must be missing something here- every travel magazine has this place near the top of worlds hotels -- there is no exec floor with snacks or drinks- the pool is nothing special- the gym sucks- and the rooms have nice view ( if you face water ) but again- not even a little bit wow!!
The Sofitel lobby has all the warmth of the mens room at Grand Central Station- which it closely resembles less the toilets-- 2 pools - one better than other but thats not saying much- rooms not as nice as Majestic (and that's last on my list) - gym poor- not a contender-
The Dream-- upgraded me to suite- room is so cool with its soft blue lights- large flat screen TV- my Thai love went nuts- the bar is also a winner -- BUT there is no pool- the gym is maybe 4 pieces of equipment- and there is no breakfast buffet- nice but not for a repeat
The Shangri -la----- dont no why I didnt speak of it in my first posting--- this is home- The Best Breakfast- the best exec lounge- the best pool bar- the best gym- near sky train------------- why home? I just had a terrible fight with my Thai love- and on the way back from Pattaya --left her at airport to go home to Ubon- she speaks about as much English as I do Thai- maybe 200 words-- so on arriving at Shangri la alone - wrote a long letter to Thai love--- went to desk on exec floor- they greeted me by name ( how DO they do it) and I showed them my letter and asked how it could be translated into Thai so I could mail- she called a service -- quoted me 30 dollars- I made a face----- girl at desk said I take care- maybe one hour later- under my door- typed in Thai- my letter with stamped addressed envelope-- you gotta love it!!!
Cheers!!!

Sandy, you're a very cool guy... I would find it ultra embarassing to let anyone translate my love (&hate) letters, let alone the hotel staff... 
You must be a big couldn't-care-less boss used to this kind of publicity...

Wow, $30 dollars! The BG's writing their love notes to potential farang prospects only pay about 100 baht a letter. Looks like you got an even better deal!

Re. Peninsula: I shake my head every time I visit. Who's paying off who for all those reviews?
Re. Shangri-La: Best of EVERYTHING. Buy their special Discount Coupon Booklet. For a little bit more than standard room charge you get coupons with GREAT discounts on all their amenities.
