Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 20

During our recent week-long trip to Bangkok, we spent the second half of our holiday staying at Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 20; one of the top family hotel in Bangkok. I love new hotels and Novotel Soi 20 (as they are fondly referred to by the cab drivers) is just celebrating their 1st year anniversary this year.

FAMILY SUITE

We stayed in this very beautiful and spacious Family Suite.

The amazing view of the city skyline greeted us every morning we were here.

The expansive layout of the 45 sqm Family Suite, includes a separate sleeping and living room.

LCD TV in both the room and living room

Transparent sliding door separates the room and the luxurious bathroom.

The luxurious bathroom offers both a shower and separate bathtub, with a stylish glass partition that adds to the sense of spaciousness and relaxation.

No prize for guessing which is our favourite feature here – the large bathtub. As you can see, this tub is able to fit more than the 4 of us put together. Soaking together in warm bubbly bath reminds me of our time in the famous Japanese onsen back when we were in Japan.

Every detail of this sizable bathroom spells of elegance.

The huge rain shower head makes a refreshing shower that we can’t get enough of. We had a tough time getting the kids out of the bathtub as well as the shower 

I welcome the large lighted mirror and the wall mounted side mirror with much pleasure. It makes applying make-up such a breeze.

Bathroom amenities

The spacious living room is fully furnished and includes a sofa bed; allowing the living area to be easily turned into a second bedroom for the kids.

It is nice to relax on these sun lounges in the pool.

Separate kids pool.

The pool is open daily from 6am to 10pm. It is even more amazing to swim here at dusk as the city skyline starts to light up. This photo was taken after 10pm hence the pool was dark.

Food Exchange is based on the concept of open cooking stations.

SKY ON 20 – ROOFTOP BAR

We managed to have dinner at Sky on 20, the rooftop bar on one of the evenings we were here.

Located on the hotel’s 26th floor above Sukhumvit soi 20, Sky on 20 offers spellbinding skyline views of Bangkok.

We were also told that we can catch a mesmerizing sunset scene here (which we unfortunately missed as we had trouble getting the boys out of the bathtub in our room).

Nevertheless we still had a great time dining and relaxing while soaking up the vibrancy of the city.
