Grand Howard Hotel is on Charoen-Raj Road in the Sathorn area of central Bangkok, a business district of offices, shopping centres and residential streets. The Chao Phraya riverfront is a short distance away, so the hotel sits between the busy commercial streets and the water. It suits business trips and sightseeing alike, with the skytrain and the riverside both a short journey away.

The BTS skytrain is the easiest way to move around: Saphan Taksin BTS Station is 1.8 km from the hotel, and Surasak BTS Station is also nearby. Asiatique The Riverfront, 1.4 km away, is a complex of shops, restaurants and an evening night market beside the Chao Phraya. The Grand Palace, one of Bangkok's best-known sights, is 5.9 km away, and Wat Arun, the riverside temple with its tall prang, is in the same historic area.

A good day starts at Asiatique by the river and continues to the old city, where the Grand Palace and Wat Pho stand close together. Both Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports are about 25.3 km away, so allow time for road traffic when you arrive or leave. Evenings at Asiatique are a relaxed way to end the day, with the night market by the water.
