Phaya Thai is a central Bangkok district next to the Siam shopping area, a busy part of the city with hotels, large shopping centres and restaurants. Hotels here are used by business and leisure travellers alike, and the Skytrain connects the district with the rest of the city. The Airport Rail Link runs direct trains from the district to the airport, and the Skytrain and the rail link both stop within a short walk of the hotel, which sits on Phaya Thai Road.

Phaya Thai BTS station is 50 m away, and the Airport Rail Link station is 150 m away, with trains running to Suvarnabhumi Airport, 24.6 km from the hotel. Jim Thompson House, a museum in a traditional teak house, is 1 km away, and Siam Paragon, a large shopping centre, is also nearby. Wang Suan Phakkat Palace, a museum in a former royal residence, is nearby too.

A day out could start at Jim Thompson House and continue to the Grand Palace, 4.6 km away, where the Temple of the Emerald Buddha stands inside the complex. Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of Bangkok's best-known markets, is a good choice for a weekend morning of browsing, and Suan Pakkad Palace, a museum of Thai art, is another stop for a quieter afternoon.
