Travel Tips

The hotel is a two-minute walk from BTS Phloen Chit Station, making it easy to explore the rest of the city via Bangkok’s elevated rail network—avoid peak-hour traffic by taking the BTS for all cross-city trips. Book the hotel’s paid airport shuttle in advance to skip the hassle of hailing a cab at Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang airports. If you’re visiting during Bangkok’s hot season (March to May), save time for an evening dip in the rooftop pool to cool off after a day of sightseeing. Finally, don’t miss the hotel’s breakfast spread: guests consistently praise its variety of local and international options, making it well worth adding to your booking.
