Grand Hyatt Erawan
Location: Chidlom - Ploenchit
The Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok is a premier deluxe business hotel with resort-style facilities and is strategically located on Rajdamri Road, right in the heart of Bangkok. The hotel is close to one of Bangkok's most important landmarks, the Erawan Shrine in the business and commercial district of Bangkok and just 40 minutes from Bangkok's Airport.
When the former deluxe Erawan Hotel was built in the mid 1950's, construction met so many problems that superstitious workers refused to continue. Astrologers proposed a shrine to honour the four-faced god Brahma, known to Thais as Than Tao Mahaprom, as the most auspicious solution. The Fine Arts Department cast a magnificent image of Brahma and installed it on November 9, 1956 in ehat is known as the Erawan Shrine. Constuction carried on with no further problems and the Erawan Hotel opened to much acclaim. In 1991, the ageing Erawan Hotel was rebuilt as the Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok
