You see, it would mean a 15 minute commute to my office vs the hour it takes from the Le Meridien Bangkok. \u00a0For some time the Starwood website showed an opening date of July 2008 and as you can guess, that slipped. Then, it showed an opening date of December 2012 and yes, that slipped to. \u00a0Then, for some time the hotel completely disappeared from the Starwood website. \u00a0No trace of it. \u00a0When I contacted Starwood&#8217;s social media team, they said they had no information about the hotel.<\/p>\n<p>Well, low and behold, as I&#8217;m searching for a Bangkok hotel today I noticed that hotel is back on the website, and branded as a Le Meridien again (for some time it had no brand listed on the website.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-3906\" alt=\"LMBKK.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/files\/2013\/05\/LMBKK.jpg.jpg\" width=\"160\" height=\"169\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In 2008, the property page provided this information:\u00a0The 214-room golf resort and spa will be located in Samut Prakarn district, within the 160-acre mixed-used enclave comprising Summit Windmill Golf Club, an 18-hole Nick Faldo designed golf course and serviced apartments.
