Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are within a 15-minute journey from the hotel:

• Pratunam Market: A 5-minute walk away, this is Bangkok’s largest wholesale clothing market, where you can snag affordable custom-tailored clothes, Thai silk accessories, and street food classics like pad thai and mango sticky rice for less than $2 USD. Come early to beat the midday heat and score the best wholesale prices.
• Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha): A 10-minute taxi or BTS ride away, this is Thailand’s most sacred Buddhist temple, home to the revered Emerald Buddha and the grand historic Grand Palace. Don’t miss the intricate golden stupas and ornate wall murals that tell stories of Thai mythology.
• Siam Paragon: A 15-minute walk from the hotel, this world-class shopping mall houses luxury brand boutiques, a massive aquarium, a multi-screen cinema, and a sprawling food court serving regional Thai specialties from across the country.

Travel Tips

The closest BTS Skytrain station is Ratchathewi, a 10-minute walk from the hotel, making it easy to reach other Bangkok neighborhoods without navigating traffic. Book a higher floor room for unobstructed city views and less street noise. If you’re traveling with kids, request a family room and ask about the complimentary child safety gates for extra security. Breakfast is included in most room rates, so take advantage of the extensive spread before heading out for the day. Wear modest clothing (cover shoulders and knees) if you plan to visit Wat Phra Kaew directly from the hotel, and carry a bottle of water to stay cool in Bangkok’s tropical heat.
