Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok has completed a comprehensive renovation of the historic Authors’ and Garden Wings. Designed to significantly enhance the facilities and services of this award winning hotel, the renovation has restored the historic heart of the property to its original splendour. The project comprised a room reconfiguration resulting in the creation of new spacious suites, including a Grand Royal Suite in the Authors’ Wing and twelve suites with balconies in the Garden Wing.

The six-bedroom, 600 sq m Grand Royal Suite is Bangkok’s grandest presidential suite and occupies the entire first floor of the renowned Authors’ Wing, which was the original Oriental Hotel, built in 1876. The suite has private elevator access and incorporates the one-bedroom, 315 sq m Royal Suite and the adjoining 165 sq m Ambassador Suite with two bedrooms, as well as three further separate guest rooms for an entourage.

The Ambassador's Suite.
There are ample stately meeting and hosting spaces, including a formal lounge, a second living room, a study and a dining room for twelve guests with a fully equipped kitchen and a bar pantry. A light-filled Victorian-inspired glass conservatory offers further dining for six guests and relaxed lounge seating. The 140-year-old building’s restored original open balcony affords stunning vistas over the tropical gardens of the Authors’ Wing and the River of Kings.

The new 80 sq m Garden Suites, some with split level layout, all boast floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the river and gardens and include a lounge, dining room, pantry, powder room and a balcony. The bedroom features a large marble bathroom with separate bathtub, a walk-in shower, double vanity and a walk-in closet. The suites’ contemporary interior design combines the hotel’s unique colonial inspired heritage and Thai culture.

The Le Normandie French fine dining restaurant has also been rejuvenated with a contemporary interpretation of its original grandeur. The new interior preserves the classic elegance of one of Asia’s best loved French restaurants, together with striking new features such as handcrafted chandeliers.

The Authors’ Lounge, a favourite traditional destination for afternoon tea, society weddings and elegant events – has been restored to its classic late-nineteenth-century design and has been further extended to flow seamlessly through to the hotel’s riverside terrace and gardens via four salons named after famous authors who were guests of the hotel: Joseph Conrad, Somerset Maugham, Noël Coward and James Michener. Here the hotel’s longstanding affinity with the literary world is exemplified with images of these literary greats juxtaposed with scenes taken at the hotel during those eras, quotations from their books, and in some cases, signed books on display.

Jia Wei Chinese Restaurant introduces new menu

Source: Accor Hotels.

Jia Wei Chinese Restaurant at the Grand Mercure Singapore Roxy has launched a new menu in conjunction with the arrival of its new Master Chef Victor. The dishes are designed to reflect the contemporary oriental décor, and embrace the Chinese concept of 家味, or flavours of home.

The menu highlights Oriental favourites such as Chef’s superior fish maw with seafood soup, and fresh prawns served with two signature sauces. There is a wide array of dim sum on the menu, and an unusual dessert, the deep-fried cempedak ice cream.

“We recognise the importance of family bonding, and we are excited with the newly launched menu that gives diners the opportunity to savour home-cooked dishes (just as if they were in) the comfort of their home,” said Klaus Gottschalk, General Manager of Grand Mercure Singapore Roxy.

Jia Wei Chinese Restaurant is at level 2 of the Grand Mercure Singapore Roxy. Lunch is served from 11.30am to 3pm from Mondays to Saturdays, from 11am to 3pm on Sundays and public Holidays. Dinner is served from 6pm to 11.00pm daily.
