LKN Grand Ratchatewi

Every room at LKN Grand Ratchatewi measures 28 m². The rooms are studios, apart from a one-bedroom apartment, and several sleep up to three guests. One room has a street view, and several others have air conditioning, blackout curtains and a refrigerator.

Several rooms have a private bathroom with a shower, hair dryer and toiletries, and a few have a microwave, a dining table and a kettle. Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms.

The property has an elevator and 24-hour security, and English and Thai are spoken on site. Daily housekeeping is offered, and a convenience store and a laundromat are on site. A shrine is also on the property, and the rooms include mirrors alongside the hair dryer and towels.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms, with wireless internet access, and satellite and cable channels are available as well.

Parking spaces are limited, so guests are asked to contact the property in advance before bringing a vehicle. The rooms can have individual air conditioning, blackout curtains, soundproofing, a desk, a closet and a kettle, along with free bottled water and free instant coffee.

Soi Phaya Nak runs through the Thanon Phetchaburi area of Ratchathewi, a central Bangkok district that sits between the Siam shopping quarter and the older streets of the city. Away from the main roads the lanes are residential, with local shops and older houses, while the big malls of Siam are a short distance off. The area is convenient for travellers who want to stay near the middle of the city without being on its busiest avenues.

Jim Thompson House is 300 m away, a museum in a traditional Thai house that once belonged to the silk entrepreneur whose name it bears. Nearby Ban Krua has long been a silk-weaving community, and Chalerm La Park is a green space close to the hotel. The Grand Palace and Wat Arun, about 4 km away across the river, are the temples most visitors plan a day around.

A day could start at Jim Thompson House, then take the skytrain from Ratchathewi BTS Station, 350 m from the hotel, to the shopping at Siam Paragon and MBK Center. Asiatique, the riverside complex, is reached by taxi from the Siam area, and Chatuchak Weekend Market, 5.7 km away, is worth planning around because it runs only at weekends.
