Welcome

Umbrella optional
- Weather conditions help guests plan their trip.
- Weather forecast data is pulled live from Yahoo.
Reservation
- A quick and clear reservation form lets visitors make an online booking
- A third-party booking engine with availability check will be integrated .
Local attractions
- A googlemap highlights the hotel's great location, right in the middle of the shopping and the entertainment district of Sukhumvit on Soi 19.
- Like a virtual concierge, it presents attractions and provides links with additional information (Wikipedia, official website, ...)
Press
- It's in SilQ's best interest that only good pictures of the rooms and amenities are used in the press, magazines, travel brochures, booking platforms, etc.
- High resolution images are offered on the Press page.
- It saves a lot of time and hassle as sending large files by email isn't possible, and neither the hotel nor journalists want to deal with FTP or expired YouSendIt links.
Twitter
- SilQ's twitter profile page was styled to be consistent with the website.
