Thailand isn’t just the Land of Smiles. It’s also home to the ultimate shopping paradise, Bangkok, where designer labels and bargain buys can be found at almost every street corner.
The capital city isn’t just a place for apparel hunting though. Oh no. There’s plenty of luxury to go around here as well.
Case in point: Bangkok has Amari Watergate Hotel – a swanky 4-star hotel that’s located right smack in the heart of the vibrant Pratunam shopping district, making it THE ultimate place to start a shopping spree (something we all know that Singaporeans like to go on every once in awhile).
Yes, there are other posh hotels in the city to stay at. But in terms of choosing a solid base as the centre of your money-spending operation, there are hardly any options better than Amari Watergate.
For instance, it’s located directly opposite Platinum Fashion Mall, where you can score cheap goods. And if that’s not good enough for you, there’s always Pratunam Market right behind the hotel, packing even cheaper goods.
What’s super cool though is that Amari is situated around hidden gems not really known to tourists, like Camp BKK; a multi-label boutique that focuses on local designers, Ballet Shoes; a women’s shoe store at Lido Plaza that specialises in bespoke, hand-made leather shoes, and TALAD Neon – Bangkok’s latest hipster night market.
Of course, Amari is also within walking distance of crowd favourites such as Pantip Plaza, City Complex, and Indra Mall. But more importantly, Amari Watergate is an extremely comfortable place to return to at the end of the day. And when we say comfortable, we mean comfortable.
From the hotel’s Deluxe rooms to the Presidential Suites, there’s plenty of opulence for you to lap up over here. If your purse strings are a little tight however, we recommend going for the Super Saver Package ($250), which includes a 25% discount off a spa treatment, 30% off F&B, and a complimentary upgrade to a Grand Deluxe Room.
Whatever the case may be; a stay at Amari Watergate Hotel won’t be a disappointing one, especially if you’re looking to shop till you drop. The only disappointment you might face is that you’re not staying here long enough.
