Holiday Inn Bangkok By IHG stands on Phloen Chit Road in Pathum Wan, in the Siam district, one of the busiest shopping and business areas of central Bangkok. The streets around the hotel mix large malls and department stores with office towers, hotels and street-food stalls, and the BTS Skytrain runs along the main roads above them. It works well for visitors who want shopping and the Skytrain close at hand.

Chit Lom BTS Station is 200 m away and Ratchadamri BTS Station 600 m away, giving train links to the rest of the city. Erawan Shrine, a Hindu shrine at the Ratchaprasong junction, is busy with worshippers and sits close to the hotel. Jim Thompson House, a teak-built museum of Thai silk and art, is 1.5 km away, while the Grand Palace, home of the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, is 5.5 km away. Chatuchak Weekend Market, with thousands of stalls, is 6.2 km away and runs at weekends.

A good day starts at the Erawan Shrine, then continues to the shops of Siam or to the Chatuchak market. For the old city, the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Chetuphon, better known as Wat Pho and home of the reclining Buddha, sit side by side, so the two make a full day together.
