Sukhumvit Road is one of Bangkok's best-known through streets, lined with hotels, offices, street-food stalls and shopping malls. Soi 8 leads off it, and the Nana area, with its bars and restaurants, lies close by, while Asok is a busy junction for the Skytrain and for traffic heading into the rest of the city.

The Asok and Nana BTS stations are about 500 m away, and the Skytrain links them to the Siam shopping area, where Siam Paragon is 2.6 km from the hotel. The Grand Palace, with the Temple of the Emerald Buddha within its walls, is 7.2 km away, and Wat Arun stands across the river from it. Jim Thompson House, the former home of the silk entrepreneur, and the Kamthieng House Museum offer a quieter look at traditional Thai architecture.

A good day could start with a walk through Benchakitti Forest Park, then Jim Thompson House, before taking the Skytrain to Siam for the shopping centres. In the evening, Nana's bars and street-food stalls are close enough to walk to from the hotel. The Grand Palace and Wat Arun are in the old city across the river, so they are best reached by a longer trip by taxi or boat, and a full day suits seeing both.
