Charoen Krung Road follows the Chao Phraya river through the Samphantawong district, one of Bangkok's oldest riverside areas, and Yaowarat, Bangkok's Chinatown, is a short walk away. The streets around the hotel mix old shophouses with small temples and shrines, and the Talat Noi neighbourhood, a compact area of narrow lanes, sits close by.

Hua Lamphong, the city's main railway station, is also close, and the Hua Lamphong MRT station, 600 m off, links the area to the rest of the metro network. The Si Phraya Pier on the Chao Phraya is 400 m away for river boats, and the Maha Pruettharam Worawihan Temple is 200 m away. The Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha are 3.2 km away, and Khaosan Road, the backpacker street, is 3.5 km away. Asiatique The Riverfront, a shopping and dining complex on the river, is also reached by taxi.

A good day could begin in Talat Noi, among its old lanes and shrines, then continue to the Grand Palace by taxi and end with a meal in Yaowarat, where the Yaowarat Chinatown Heritage Center explains the history of Bangkok's Chinatown. The Chao Phraya river boats run along the district, so a trip on the water is an easy way to see the old riverside.
