Deceivingly good

most hotels have bars, and they're standard fare, adjacent to the lobby. Arriving at the Conrad you can see the Diplomat Bar on right hand side, open to the lobby. My assumptions initially were a standard bar. How wrong I was. It's an upmarket bar, with excellent courteous service, good jazz/lounge band and singing (I've heard multiple artists perform and the standard has been high). Music can ruin a bar or make it. This provides a good ambiance and it is spacious enough to sit close and enjoy or be further away and have it as background. The bar is completely free of any 2unwanted diversions" that you do get in Bangkok and other parts of the world, and as such a relaxing oasis. hotel bar so above street prices for drinks, but that is normal. comfortable, relaxing, classy. A place I always visit when staying at this hotel.

VERY friendly and accommodating.

My wife and I came in from a LATE flight, and caught them right at closing. They didn't give us any hassle, and were happy to make sure we were taken care of. Incredibly friendly staff, and we personally saw them do a great job of handling some unruly customers who had been at the bar a little too long. Great location (in the lobby of the Conrad Hilton) and they had some great live music when we were there. Definitely take the time to stop in!
