Pratunam is a lively commercial district in central Bangkok, where street stalls and markets keep the pavements busy from morning until night. Blu Mount stands on Petchburi Road in this busy quarter, and Pratunam Market is close by. Visitors who want to be close to the city's daily life will find the streets busy into the evening, with traders at every turn and small eateries lining the side streets.

The Airport Rail Link station at Ratchaprarop is 300 m from the hotel, so the airport line is an easy connection for trips across the city. Siam Paragon, a large shopping centre, is 800 m away, and Jim Thompson House, a teak house museum with an art collection, is 1.3 km away. Farther away, the Grand Palace, in the old city, is 5.2 km away.

A good day could begin at the Grand Palace, then return to Pratunam for the markets and Siam Paragon, with Jim Thompson House as another stop. Suvarnabhumi Airport is 23.8 km away, and Don Mueang International Airport lies a little closer, so the rail line is useful for longer trips. The day can end back at the hotel, close to the markets and the rail station.
