Asoke Residence Sukhumvit by UHG

The rooms at Asoke Residence Sukhumvit by UHG range from a 16 m² room with a queen bed to two-bedroom suites of 125 m² that sleep up to five guests. Some rooms have city views and one has a pool view, so the outlook depends on the room you book.

Across the property, rooms can have air conditioning, a desk, an in-room safe, a refrigerator, a hair dryer and free bottled water. Rooms can also have a private bathroom with a shower, toiletries and towels, and some have a bathtub. Bed set-ups vary from room to room, and extra beds depend on the room you choose. A baby cot is available on request.

The property has an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre, a garden, a terrace and a playground, plus a children's swimming pool and a kids club. Concierge and luggage storage services are available, a 24-hour front desk is staffed, and there is an elevator.

The restaurant serves restaurant breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a la carte dishes, a buffet and salads, and room service is offered alongside food delivery.

For business and practical needs there are business facilities, meeting and banquet facilities and a laundry service. A shuttle service and car hire are also offered, and there is an airport transfer. Luggage storage is also available, and the property has an elevator for getting between floors.

Asoke is one of the busiest junctions on Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok, and Sukhumvit Soi 21 branches off it into a neighbourhood of office towers, hotels and street-food stalls. The property sits in the Klongtoey Nua area, next to Wattana, and it is a practical place to stay for business trips or a longer city break. Hotels, bars and food stalls line the side streets, and the area stays busy late into the evening.

The Phetchaburi MRT station is 250 m from the property, and the Airport Rail Link station at Makkasan is also close by, so the rail links give a quick way into central Bangkok. Siam Paragon, a large shopping centre, is 3 km away, while the Chatuchak Weekend Market, a huge market that runs at weekends, is farther out. Wat Phra Chetuphon, also known as Wat Pho, sits in the old city close to the Grand Palace, which is 7.7 km away.

A good day could start with the Grand Palace and Wat Pho in the morning, then cross the river to Wat Arun, the temple with the tall prang that rises over the water. In the evening, Asiatique The Riverfront makes a relaxed stop for dinner, and Jim Thompson House, a set of teak houses in a leafy garden, is an easy visit to fit in during the day.
