Testimonials
'CLSA Asia Pacific is an Asian investment bank headquartered in Hong Kong. In May, we held a virtual odyssey conference for the investment community, which was broadcast from eight Asian capitals, including Bangkok, to New York, London, Singapore and Hong Kong. The conference, which included a global presentation from HM Prime Minister Thaksin, was a resounding success, not least of all due to CLSA's extremely high technology requirements, which had never been tested commercially before in Bangkok on a similar scale.
'In this regard, we found the services of the Conrad Hotel to be outstanding. Not only were all of our technology demands met but staff and management were very accommodative in dealing with our difficult requests and unusual working hours. Being relatively new to the Bangkok scene, the Conrad's hip cachet was also a key draw card for our clients.
'I would have no hesitation in recommending the Conrad as a conference venue and indeed look forward to holding our next investor conference there when possible.'
Nicholas Cashmore, Managing Director, Thailand CLSA Asia Pacific Securities
'I am writing to thank you and your team for the exceptional service our New Zealand delegation staying at the Conrad received during the APEC period.
'Your personnel are highly trained and professional, and balance that with a friendly and courteous approach to their work. As you know, we made a number of last-minute requests, to which your staff responded without hesitation. Invariably they showed initiative in coming up with solutions.
'All this contributed to the smooth logistical arrangements for the delegates during their stay. Extra services such as the upgrading of our delegation office, as well as the use of the spare suite on the 31st floor for meetings, were much appreciated.
'The function held on 19 October on the 32nd floor was a great success. Again, all credit to your team, for offering the option of holding it in such a fabulous room, and for the catering as well as the excellent service with food and drink. We received a great deal of positive feedback from the delegation and other guests. You will be gratified to know that the senior Ministry of Foreign Trade official, himself an ex-Ambassador in Paris and London, told me how impressed he was with all aspects of the hotel's service.
'Please pass on our gratitude to all your staff, particularly Marissa and Ferry.'
Peter Rider, Ambassador, New Zealand Embassy, Bangkok
