A five-star hotel at five-star prices. If you are visiting the Erawan Shrine on the corner, you could take a look at the hotel. The lobby is very impressive. Spassos, a popular upscale lounge bar is located in the lower level. If there's more than one person per room, it is worth the extra 1,000 baht per night for the "club room" as you end up with a better concierge and free breakfast.
