deejah Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 ok get this the mall goes up to floor 6 or floor 7 and the next level is the hilton which is floor 15 for some reason (i have a good guess why) they decided to skip 7 through 14 (pretty arbitrary)!!!! i really do not think it is possible to insert floors at a later stage like in text in MS word! but hey you never know! this is a first for me ever many 'THAI' and TIT stories about this place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handydog Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Do the first 6 floors have double-height cielings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrry Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Did you go outside and count the floors...there is a building in Melbourne that goes a very long way between floor 5 and floor 6...about 5 floors. It was occupied by a Government Security org. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerry53 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Do the first 6 floors have double-height cielings? I am certainly no expert but I think handydog has it right. These mall floors are well overheight compared to most high rise buildings. When you book a Hilton room (or any hotel) people often precieve the higher floors are more expensive with a better view - in this case Pattaya Bay. All things being equal other high rise hotels in Pattaya would have an advantage so I think the Hilton leveled the playing field. Even firefighters do a rough calcuation of 10 feet per floor when determining things like water pressure reduction rather than set up a laser transit. But I think the bottom line is it is marketing by Hilton. I've been wrong before!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave2 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 harry. re ...

timekeeper Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 the hilton hotel lobby is labelled floor 7 on the shopping mall lift this is as far as you can go from the shopping mall you have to walk from the shopping mall lift exit to the hilton lobby area to access the further hilton guest only floors obviously there is security personnnel stationed here so you have to be a hilton guest to go any further up this is labelled as floor 16 hotel lobby in the hilton hotel lifts why would you imagine they would allow hoards of curious tourists or thieves to directly access the guest floors from the shopping mall?

JeffreyMcCollum Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Do the first 6 floors have double-height cielings? The Mall ceilings are much higher as well as a mechanical level as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuban Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 So what is the attraction for Hilton customers in such close proxamity to Soi 8. Oh! - It must be the pristine beach environment with plenty of well managed jet-ski facilities maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, I've been there, and the Hilton lobby and Bar/Pool etc is on level 7, not 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaelaway Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I think the Hilton is a really well designed hotel. The interior public spaces I have seen are all clean, cool, functional & well-kept. But, that's not gonna get me back there for the Friday seafood lunch buffet, now that it's been raised from 300 to 400 baht pp (why did the food taste better when it was 300 baht...?). Real nice place, though. The Edge restaurant is a super place for lunch or dinner; amazing views, good service and comfortable seating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
