PARKROYAL Suites Bangkok

The rooms at PARKROYAL Suites Bangkok are suites and studios in several layouts, from one-bedroom suites to two-bedroom Premier suites of 140 m². Rooms can have air conditioning, a desk and a window, and some have a whirlpool bathtub, a hair dryer or a reading light.

Bed set-ups differ between rooms. The two-bedroom suites accommodate up to four and five guests, and the studios and one-bedroom suites sleep two or three. Rooms can have a city view, and the two-bedroom suites include an additional bathroom or toilet, so there is extra space for the bathroom even when the whole group is sharing the suite.

The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool and an indoor swimming pool, plus a fitness centre, a spa with sauna and steamroom, and a garden on site. Tours can be arranged, and an airport transfer and a shuttle service are offered.

The 24-hour front desk, a concierge and luggage storage are available, and babysitting and business facilities for meetings are offered. Restaurants include a coffee shop, Asian and Western cuisine in the restaurant, and 24-hour room service.

Wi-Fi is available in the rooms and in public areas, and free parking on site is available. Guests can make use of the fitness centre and the spa in the same building, and the 24-hour front desk means help is on hand at any time of day.

PARKROYAL Suites Bangkok stands on Sukhumvit Soi 6, one of the side streets running off Sukhumvit Road, a long avenue through central Bangkok lined with hotels and street-food stalls. The BTS Skytrain runs above the road, and the side streets turn quieter a short way from the main avenue, so the area combines a busy city feel with calmer lanes just off the main road. Guests can walk from the main road into the lanes in a few minutes.

The Skytrain is the quickest way around the city from here. Nana BTS Station is 200 m away and Phloen Chit BTS Station is 700 m away, both on the Sukhumvit line, a short ride from the central shopping and business districts. Jim Thompson House, the traditional Thai house museum of the American silk entrepreneur Jim Thompson, lies 3 km away, and Chatuchak Weekend Market, a vast market for clothes, food and crafts, is 6.7 km away.

A full day could start at The Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha in its grounds, 6.9 km away, then cross the Chao Phraya River to Wat Arun. Back on Sukhumvit, the Skytrain makes evenings easy, and the Siam Society museum is a short walk from the hotel.
