Transportation: How to get to Okura Prestige Hotel?
The Okura Prestige Hotel is adjacent to the Skytrain Philonchi MRT Station, just like many department stores. It can be said to be a building connected to the Skytrain Station. Walk into the building from Exit 2 and take the indoor elevator. Go straight to the Lobby floor on the 24th floor, and you can reach the Up & Above restaurant and Bar on the same floor. It is very convenient, and there is no trouble of sun or rain.
The Up & Above restaurant, which offers afternoon tea, is open all the way from 6 in the morning to 10:XNUMX in the evening. Breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner are provided. The atmosphere and service standards are praised, but the quality of the meal can be different. See which time is the meal served!In fact, just like choosing a hotel, when choosing afternoon tea, I suggest that you also refer to customer reviews.
When I stayed at The Okura Prestige in 2014, the Japanese-style service level of the hotel was quite amazing. It was listed as a top 10 five-star hotel in the center of Bangkok, which is well deserved.Because the hotel has the advantage of being close to the MRT station, although I did not stay at the hotel again during a small trip in Bangkok in December 2015, I took advantage of the convenient transportation to make up for the afternoon tea in the hotel that I did not experience last time. .

Christmas afternoon tea special
For the afternoon tea provided by five-star hotels, many will introduce various meal combinations according to the season or festival. When we visited Up & Above Restaurant in December, we chose the Christmas special meal combination according to the scene. The set menu is decorated with safflower and strawberry, which is decorated with the atmosphere of Christmas.However, one thing to remind is that the special meal combination has a higher selling appearance and is suitable for shooting and celebration occasions, but the actual taste may be more risky, and it is usually not as good as the classic style that will be provided for a long time and the quality will be more stable!

Conclusion
The afternoon tea experience at Okura Prestige Hotel this time, I still have confidence in the hotel’s service level, but I am not too impressed with the level and taste of the meal. Maybe the Christmas special meal I ordered is a Western-style meal. The combination is just a sketch for the occasion pushed by the hotel kitchen, maybe it's just a difference in personal taste, or maybe it's just a matter of bad luck.
In addition, the venue for afternoon tea at Okura Prestige Hotel is located on the same floor as the reception hall, between the reception counter and the restaurant. The space is high and comfortable. The view outside the window is also quite good, but the concealment is not high, not very Suitable for intimate couples and chatting friends, perhaps more suitable for business talks and gatherings with colleagues.
