Soi Sukhumvit 39 is a side street off Sukhumvit Road in central Bangkok, in the Phrom Phong area, where shopping, dining and offices line the main avenue. The BTS Skytrain runs along Sukhumvit, so the rest of the city is easy to reach by train. The side streets give the area a residential feel alongside its shops.

The Phrom Phong BTS station is about 1,000 m from the hotel and the Thong Lo station is 1.4 km away. Siam Paragon, a large shopping mall, is 4.6 km away, and the Grand Palace, in the old city, is 9.2 km away, where the Temple of the Emerald Buddha stands within the palace complex. Wat Pho, the temple of the reclining Buddha, lies beside the Grand Palace, and Wat Arun, recognisable by its tall central prang, is across the river.

A day could start at Jim Thompson House, a museum in the former home of the silk entrepreneur Jim Thompson, and continue to the malls around Siam. Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of the largest markets in Bangkok, is a longer trip across town and is best visited at the weekend, when it is open. The temples of the old city make a full day's outing for those who want to combine sightseeing with a river crossing.
