Hotel Icon Bangkok Sukhumvit 2

Rooms at Hotel Icon Bangkok Sukhumvit 2 can include individual air conditioning, a private bathroom with a hair dryer, an in-room safe and a minibar, and several have city views. Family rooms sleep up to five guests, and the Family Room for 4 People measures 60 m².

Beds include single and double beds, and some rooms offer a choice of bed set-ups, so the layout depends on the room you book.

Guests can use an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre, a spa and sauna, and a massage service, with a children's swimming pool and a game room for younger guests.

The 24-hour front desk, room service, concierge and daily housekeeping are available, and the hotel also offers tours, a shuttle service, a taxi service and an airport transfer.

Business travellers can use business facilities and hold meetings, and the hotel has laundry service, babysitting and kids meals. The rooftop area, the spa and sauna and the game room offer a choice of pastimes beyond the pool, so the stay does not depend on the water alone. Families in particular can combine the children's pool with the game room.

The hotel stands on Sukhumvit Road Soi 2 in the Nana district, one of the busiest central areas of Bangkok, where the side streets off Sukhumvit Road are lined with street-food stalls, bars and tailor shops. Sukhumvit Road is one of the city's main arteries, and the hotel sits between the Nana and Phloen Chit skytrain stations, in a lively part of the city. Both stations are on the same line, so one skytrain route serves the hotel.

Nana BTS Station is 350 m away and Phloen Chit BTS Station 500 m, so the Sukhumvit skytrain line links you to central Bangkok. Siam Paragon, a large shopping mall with an aquarium and cinemas, is 2 km away, and the Jim Thompson House, a teak house museum of the Thai silk entrepreneur, is 2.8 km away. The Grand Palace is 6.7 km away, and Wat Arun stands on the Chao Phraya riverside further out. Both airports are some distance away, so the airport transfer is a practical option.

A useful day could take in Siam Paragon and the Jim Thompson House, then return by skytrain to the Nana side streets for dinner. Chatuchak Weekend Market, with its thousands of stalls, is a longer trip and is best visited on a weekend morning.
