The FuramaXclusive Asoke offers all the comforts and conveniences of a business class hotel but presented with a chic boutique style.  Highly recommended if it’s in your price range, this hotel gets top marks in all areas from its helpful smiling staff to the fresh breakfast buffet.  The 102 rooms are divided into 3 classes – deluxe, premier, and suites.  At 32 square meters, the deluxe rooms offer more than enough space and are comfortably furnished with plush beds, sofa, drawers, and a full sized desk. Colorful silk accent pillows, large new flat screen TVs, and funky lamps give the rooms a chic and trendy appearance without compromising on the quality of the furnishings.  All rooms have the standard amenities of adjustable air-conditioning, mini-bar, satellite English channels, telephone, and coffee and tea maker plus complimentary Internet access and DVD players. The deluxe bathrooms are stylishly done in black and white and have a shower-over-bathtub; premier rooms have separate tub and shower stalls. Fluffy white bathrobes, slippers, and a selection of mini spa shampoos and soaps are provided.   For a true home away from home experience, upgrade to one of their enormous suites with separate bedroom, living room, and kitchenette.  On the rooftop, the Asoke has two Jacuzzi tubs but not a pool to cool off in. The deck is furnished with lounge chairs and big umbrellas so you can enjoy the outdoors without baking in the sun. The hotel also has a fitness center with a variety of cardio-machines, weights, and a sauna. Most rates include buffet breakfast with a huge spread of pastries, fruit, cereal, some Asian selections, and bacon and eggs cooked fresh to order.  The hotel’s location is within easy walking distance of the BTS and MRT, making the best of Bangkok’s dining, shopping, and sights easily accessible.
