lebua at State Tower

We have stayed at the Lebeau State Tower for 3 weeks in 2013 and had a terrific experience, we wanted to revisit it to see how it has changed and improved. We booked to visit the rooftop bar and have a few drinks in the evening and were really excited to visit what was once our favourite hotel in Bangkok. We walked into the hotel via the pedestrian entrance and found it very dark and unwelcoming, we were met by a number of shop owners hawking their wares to us as we hurried past. Once at the Lebeau State Tower we were greeted by about 6 staff members giving us the once over to ensure that we were appropriately dressed ie, no open toed shoes, tailored shorts and no sleeveless tops, having past inspection we entered the lift that took us to the lobby where we were met by a further group of staff that conducted another inspection of our attire, once again we passed muster and was allowed to proceed to the rooftop bar, or so I thought. On arrival we were met by several members of staff that ushered us to the bar below the rooftop, we asked could we go to the rooftop bar? We were told that it was for residents only and that this bar was for the general public but we could still get the same iconic views of the Chao phrayar river and City, only if you purchased the minimum of one drink each. Reluctantly we bought a drink and went outside to sit down and take in the nighttime vistas that the hotel is renowned for. Sadly the seats they had provided were so low and uncomfortable that my four year old niece (if she was here). Could not have sat on. I took one photograph and we decided to leave, on getting up the staff offered us another view of the city from a balcony at the same level but further around, an option we declined again. I have to say that this has been one of the worse experiences of my time in Bangkok and would urge everyone to stay away.

Everyone is very friendly and helpful!

We booked a meal for two people at Sirocco at Lebua and it was just unreal. Out of this world views perfectly complimented by the most incredible service delivered by the entire team. A special mention for Jake and Aum who were so attentive, friendly, professional and went out of their way to make this such an exceptional and memorable experience for us. The offer to take photographs, pulling out and pushing our chairs on, explaining the menu and striking that perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness. Thank you, you both truly made this a fantastic experience. Also a word of thanks to the lovely staff member on the steps who took a few photographs for us and imitated the hangover. This was so Incredibly kind and enhanced our experience so much. The food is expensive but absolutely worth it for a meal that you won’t forget. We were celebrating our honeymoon and so glad we chose to have it here! Paul and Brendan (Ireland)
