Somerset Park Suanplu Bangkok is on South Sathorn Road in the Yannawa area of Sathorn, one of Bangkok's main business districts. The streets around it are lined with office towers, hotels and a wide range of restaurants, and the neighbouring Silom area adds offices, shops and a busy daytime street life. The setting is practical for business trips as well as for leisure stays close to the city's commercial core.

Si Lom MRT station is 850 m away and Sala Daeng BTS station is 900 m away, so Bangkok's metro and Skytrain networks are close by. Jim Thompson House, the former home of the American silk entrepreneur who made Thai silk known abroad, is 3.3 km away, and the Grand Palace in Phra Nakhon district is 6 km away. Suan Phlu Market, a neighbourhood market, is 300 m from the hotel. Taxis and the rail network are the simplest ways to get around.

A day could start with Jim Thompson House, followed by the Grand Palace and the temples of Phra Nakhon, which sit in the same area. Chatuchak Weekend Market, a large market across the city, is worth a separate trip at the weekend. Back at the hotel, the indoor pool and spa are there for a break after sightseeing.
