Which Hilton to choose in Bangkok?

[boomy]

I plan to stay a few days in the Thai capital later this year and need to select a hotel. I've stayed at Conrad already last year and this time would like to try one of the Hiltons but not sure which one is better. They cost almost the same and reviews online are mostly positive for both. So is there any significant difference between them?
Appreciate any advice about location, rooms and upgrades, facilities (swimming pool, restaurants, lounge).

For leisure, the Milennium, for closer to most activity, the other.

See the thread here already on this topic.

Thanks serfty. I've searched this forum a year back and found only a thread comparing Conrad to Hilton.
I'm more interested in the difference between the two Hiltons. Apologies if I missed another thread on this subject.

Sure, but those threads will give aguide.

Personally I prefer the Millenium ...

Conrad is the best in BKK and not a huge walk from easy public transport or shopping. I find the millennium too far out, personally.

The other two are right next to each other so between them it's just a cost/exec lounge difference.

Hilton/DT vs Conrad would be primarily the brand differences and the location. Depends where you want to be, but I prefer the Conrad's location again,

I loved the Conrad. Excellent Diamond treatment. We literally had the pool to ourselves

Isn't that because the shade from the nearby tall buildings keeps it at around 10 degrees?

Conrad is always a safe bet and I would book it again if the rate wasn't almost double then both Hiltons. Is there any difference between the two Hiltons in room size/quality and elite treatment like suite upgrades for diamond members?

I have only stayed at the Millennium Hilton so cannot compare with any others in Bangkok.

We choose the King Executive Plus suite as the price was extremely attractive. This room was at the front corner of the building giving views both across and down the river.

Breakfast was a real treat and the Executive lounge had fabulous views.

We loved the location, especially catching the river boat across the river, which gave us access to the Saphan Taksin BTS Skytrain Station.

All of the Hiltons in Bangkok are OK.

My favourite is Millenium Hilton. The views over drinks and canapes are fantastic.
