Chatrium Residence Sathorn

This week I had the opportunity to visit the Chatrium Residence Sathon, a hotel that I have stayed at in the past.
 

The hotel is owned by Chatrium Hospitality and has 560 keys and offers studios, one, two and three bedroom apartments. I say apartments, as all the rooms have a kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom/s and a balcony.

The majority of guests are short term and stay for business, conferences or leisure and with the summer school holidays now in many parts of the world the property the hotel is clearly popular with families. 

As I sat at the Flow Pool Bar, the all day dining restaurant, I can see why the hotel is popular for Bangkok staycations because the lagoon swimming pool and the lush mature gardens, you can be forgiven for thinking that you have travelled to a beach resort. 
The hotel has a sizeable core of long stay residents, who enjoy the facilities of the hotel’s restaurants, fitness centre, room service and the wonderful lagoon sized swimming pool.

The hotel has always been an impressive building with quality materials, furnishings and finish, as one would expect from its owners, but the staff seemed particularly ‘chipper’.

Well mannered, polite, happy in their employment, and high morale is so important in the hospitality business. They seemed eager to serve and please, and I put that down to the General Manager (GM).

John Neutze the GM can be seen clearing the tables at breakfast and bustling about the place with an ever present smile and pleasant greeting for all his guests. He obviously knows many of his long term residents personally and I am sure that his presence and motivation has given this hotel a huge shot in the arm and a boost in its current occupancy and performance.
