A fave new hotel find in Bangkok
Sometimes it takes that special something to transform an ordinary experience into an extraordinary one.
In the 1993 American romantic-comedy film For Love or Money, Michael J. Fox plays Doug Ireland, a very passionate and personable concierge in a luxurious New York hotel. He goes above and beyond to make the guests happy, fulfill their desires and create memorable experiences, like scoring opera tickets, returning lost jewelry, and arranging special vacation trips for guests.
Just like in the luxury boutique hotel in Bangkok called Hansar, the concierge helps to make all hotel guests happy. Whatever you need or wish for, you will receive. All these reel expectations become real as we experienced all that with what Hansar hotels has to offer.
The name Hansar is taken from the ancient Sanskrit language and translates to “Being in the moment of pure happiness and joy.” You can’t expect anything less here.
Right next to the stunning St. Regis, Hansar has luxurious, cozy rooms, exceptional dining, and above all, healthy breakfast choices. My youngest sister Yvonne, her family and I recently discovered this treasure of a hotel in Bangkok.
Carin, Yvonne’s daughter, appreciated the warm and welcoming staff, who eagerly assisted with every need, and their genuine hospitality made her feel like royalty. “ As you walk to your room, you will be awed by the stunning views of the city skyline and we truly enjoyed staying inside the hotel as well as exploring around the area.”
Every morning, a sumptuous breakfast spread that includes everything from freshly baked pastries to exotic fruit platters is prepared, and you can have as much as you want. The breakfast, served in an alfresco setting reminiscent of a garden oasis, added to the unique charm.
One standout feature of Hansar's breakfast is the customization it offers. Guests can handpick fruits, fresh juices, and indulge in the sweetest coconut juice directly from the buffet spread. The hot-food section for eggs benedict, Thai soups, scrambled eggs and more allows for unlimited orders. You can also order granola, smoothies, cereal, pancakes, waffles… you are spoilt for choice! The dedication to guest satisfaction reached new heights when, faced with a shortage of croissants one morning, the head baker promptly baked another batch exclusively for Yvonne.
Did you know that Hansar's Hotel and Resorts enchantment extends beyond Bangkok to Samui, Pranburi, Cha Am, and Khao Yai? Hansar Samui is a tropical haven where luxury fuses with the beauty of nature, offering breathtaking views and impeccable service. Pranburi invites you to a serene escape, where contemporary design harmonizes with the soothing embrace of the sea.
Feel the coastal charm in Cha Am, enjoy the gentle caress of ocean breezes. Meanwhile, at Khao Yai you are surrounded by lush landscapes — a sanctuary where luxury and the beauty of nature merge. The quest for a quaint boutique hotel in Bangkok led to Hansar, instead of larger hotel chains for a more intimate experience. My family particularly enjoyed the gym facilities, especially Cito — it enhanced their stay with wellness options.
As if that wasn’t enough, for moments of sweet slumber, choose from the elegance of the Deluxe room to the Premier room's breathtaking morning views and the opulence of the Skyline Suite. The Grand Suite and Family Suite are venues of togetherness. The Presidential Residences and Panorama Suite have panoramic views, and the Edge Suite provides the perfect retreat. It’s worthy to note that Hansar is located on Rajdamri Road in the vibrant heart of Bangkok's shopping, entertainment, and business districts.
Hansar Hotels & Resorts CEO Indra Budiman has emphasized their commitment to giving back to the local environment, with features like a vertical wall of green creepers in the carpark of their Bangkok hotel that naturally absorbs the CO2 from the cars.
CEO Budiman said, “A standout feature of the hotels is that the small size of each hotel ensures that, in the great tradition of Thai hospitality, the service can be tailored individually.”
In the two years since Hansar Hotels & Resorts first opened its hotels, the group has gained a reputation as an emerging luxury group and has won a series of awards for their service and spa.
In the heart of the “City of Angels,” a new gem of a find stands out that is waiting to be discovered.
