The Rates at Millennium Hilton Bangkok

"Lording over the Chao Phraya River in postmillennial splendor, this flagship Hilton designed with cutting-edge flair competes successfully with Bangkok's other hotel giants but has far lower rates"

"Views of the river and surrounding cityscape are breathtaking and certainly worth the bargain rates here"

"For something right downtown, travelers could also consider the similarly priced Radisson Blu Plaza Bangkok, which has glitzier decor and free Wi-Fi"

"There’s also a secluded spa and a top-floor bar, Three Sixty, 130m above the river with huge picture windows, while every restaurant also boasts views of the Chao Phraya: Cantonese Yuan, with good-value lunchtime dim sum, a steakhouse and an international buffet with its own refrigerated cheese room"
