In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure dome decree."
Those words, written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, describe Livingstone's Boutique Lodge at 7 Soi 33, Sukumvit Road, Wattana, in Bangkok. The room was great, the service greater, and the ladies in the Sports Bar more caring and considerate than any women in a city known for women who make men feel like a King.
It is blasphemy to consider yourself a king in Thailand, for the present King of Thailand is one of the great monarchs still alive today. But even the King is not treated any better than you will be if you partake of the joys and pleasures of Livingstone's. Aside from the spotless rooms complete with whirlpool bath, the fine food in the restaurants is great. Best of all, you get free breakfasts SERVED AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY! If you sleep in, and believe me, the lovelies will make you tired enough to sleep till noon, you can wander down to poolside tables shaded by palm frond roofs and eat at 2 or 3 pm. Gets you up and going because the girls start coming to work (their work is your pleasure) at 5 pm and the fun continues until 1:00 am.
Whatever you do, do not miss the ultimate experience you will find at Livingstone's. Your pleasure is their goal, and they are very, very good at maintaining a perfect score.

Landmark Hotel. Sukhumvit
The Landmark is beween Soi4 and Soi6. Very good location, right next to the Nana BTS station. My room actually had a view directly down into NEP! I stayed there for 4 nights after Christmas.
It is a reasonably upscale hotel, service is very good. I checked in very early (10am) , so they gave me a drink and asked me to wait in the lounge for 30 minutes while cleaning my room.
For the rate I paid (3200 baht / night) I was quite satisified. The pool area is very nice, although at this time of year, there is limited sunshine (one has to "follow the sun" around the pool). Howevere there is a nice sundeck as well, with sun from 11am to 5pm in the middle of winter. Probably more in the summer with the sun higher in the sky.
Breakfast is expensive (700 baht) but very tasty, with fresh eggs, omelettes, fruits, dim sum, fried rice, breads etc.
Girl friendly? Yes, no problem. They may want to hang on to your GF's I'd card "for security reasons". Nice hotel. I would return.
Marriott Execitivue apartments
I am considering this location for my trip-
I have not found any conclusive info on if it is GF with or without a charge.
Marriott executive apartments sukhumvit park.
90 Sukhumvit Soi 24, Klongton, Klongtoey · Bangkok.
Has anyone stayed there?
Also how is the location?
Seems to be right near Emporium mall which should be away from, but still pretty close to ground zero yes?

But I have not found a post if they are guest friendly. On their home page, FAQ section, they write :
How many people can stay in one apartment?
Each apartment can accommodate a maximum of three people.
Does this mean they are guest friendly?
