Crowne Plaza Bangkok Lumpini Park By IHG stands in Silom, one of central Bangkok's main business districts, where office towers and hotels sit beside quieter side streets and small shops. In the evenings the lanes off the main road fill with restaurants and bars, and the streets stay busy well after dark.

Two rail stations are close to the hotel: Si Lom MRT station is 100 m away and Sala Daeng BTS station is 200 m away, so the metro and the Skytrain reach much of the city. Silom Soi 2, a side street nearby, and Dusit Arun Garden are both close by. Jim Thompson House, a museum of Thai silk and art in traditional teak houses, is 2.3 km from the hotel, and the old city, with the Grand Palace, Wat Pho and Wat Arun, lies on the far side of the river.

A good day could start at Jim Thompson House, continue to the Grand Palace in the old city, and end with an evening walk through the lanes of Silom and the Patpong area, which is lively after dark. Suvarnabhumi Airport is 23.6 km away and Don Mueang International Airport 21.7 km, and the Chatuchak Weekend Market is a longer trip across town, mainly open at weekends.
