Pratunam

Modern four-star hotel with all the facilities you'd expect, including a few restaurants good enough to draw non-guests especially the American-style Henry J. Beans Bar and Grill. It's a stone's throw from Pratunam, across the Saen Saep Canal if you're walking from Ratchaprasong.

Ever wanted to spend the night in the tallest hotel of Southeast Asia? This is your chance. The hotel has 673 guest rooms, all with a phenomenal view over the city. It has an extensive breakfast with more than 100 dishes to choose from. Rooms are spacious and the staff are helpful. The only downer is the long waiting time to get into the lift.

Decent four-star hotel with spacious rooms and a nice view. The staff is friendly, but you don't get a lot for breakfast. Wi-Fi is available but you have to pay separately for it. Most people stay here for its close location to the garment markets.

Opened in 2007, this modern luxury hotel may be better value than other similarly priced hotels. It is a bit north of the city centre, just south of Victory Monument. An impressive lobby and the more-than-ample smiling staff will greet you on arrival. The rooms reflect the five-star status of the hotel, with the executive levels offering many extras including drinks and canapes in the evening. Next door is the King Power Duty Free complex, which has a first floor boutique beer garden, plus the usual large range of duty free goods. In the evening you could visit the chic wine pub that is also open to non-guests.
