Miramar Bangkok Hotel stands on Mahachai Road in the Phanakorn district, the historic core of Bangkok, close to Chinatown and the old city. The streets around it have the busy, crowded character of the neighbourhood, with market stalls, street-food vendors and small shops. It is a district for travellers who like to walk between temples, markets and the river, with many of the city's historic sights within a few kilometres.

The hotel is 50 m from Sam Yot MRT station, and the metro gives access to other parts of the city. The Grand Palace is 1.4 km away, with the Temple of the Emerald Buddha beside it, and Wat Phra Chetuphon, better known as Wat Pho, with its reclining Buddha, is also nearby. Wat Arun lies across the Chao Phraya river, 1.6 km from the hotel, and the Chao Phraya ferry piers, including Ratchawong, are close by. Wat Suthat, with its Giant Swing, is 450 m away, and Pahurat Market, the textile market in the Little India quarter, is also close by.

A good day here starts at the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, continues at Wat Pho and Khaosan Road, and ends with a walk through Chinatown and the textile stalls of Pahurat. From the river piers you can cross to Wat Arun by boat.
