The rooms come in 2 different schemes, one designed by Australian design company G&A and the other one designed by a Japanese designer. I got the former, name of which escapes me now. The latter scheme is themed 'Glamourous.' Imagine making special requests asking for a 'Glamourous room please.'
On entry, you walk into the v large lounge room with v comfy chaise lounge. The room is almost framed by a huge B&O LCD screen, with v impressive speakers to boot. The speakers are also connected to a dvd player Ipod dock, meaning if you've got an Ipod and are sick of the Wonderlust CD, you can party to your own Ipod music. Alison proudly declared that because the walls built with the partying needs of W guests in mind (as well as some other needs no doubt... as the 'Intimacy Pack' in the Munchie Box would suggest), every room is extremely well-insulated no matter how much we put the B&O speakers to work. There is also a generous sized desk if you actually need to do some work, though I've met a few people who decided that the Living Room is a nicer space to work in, including Matt the Director of Marketing himself.
In addition to the choice of welcome amenities (I'd gone for the 500 points), SPG PLTs get a Welcome Gift of tasty munchies - macaroons, a blueberry jello, chocolates, and a green apple. In addition, I got handwritten cards from Damon (the GM, one of the people who patiently responded to my impatient "when?!" emails), Andrew (the Head of Concierge), and a note from Kent (Manager of Bliss Spa) all welcoming me to the hotel. And a gift from Andrew - a Luxe travel guide to Bangkok as he'd somehow heard that I was possibly going there in December. Noice! I am also the proud parent of 2 more yellow duckies (though they're a lot smaller than the ones born of the LH FCT).
The bedroom is dominated by the v comfy signature Wonderful Bed. Prior to this I did wonder if the bed would be up to brand standard as IME these things do vary when the brands get exported overseas. However I need not fear, the Wonderful Bed was every bit as comfy as the other Ws in the US. Alison advised that the bed and its bedding were all brought in from the US. As with the lounge room, the bedroom has a large LCD screen with the same gizmos attached as outside. There was also a rather generously sized closet.
