The Bazaar Hotel Bangkok

Most room types at The Bazaar Hotel Bangkok look out over the city. The rooms include superior and twin rooms, a deluxe room with a hard floor, a 60 m² junior suite and penthouses. Several rooms include bathrobes, toiletries, towels and a bathtub, and some have a walk-in shower.

Capacity runs from two guests in the deluxe room to six in the penthouses. Air conditioning, a refrigerator and a kettle are among the items found in the hotel's rooms, and the deluxe room also has blackout curtains and a window that opens, along with a free welcome drink and free instant coffee.

The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool and a fitness centre, plus a yoga room, table tennis and a children's swimming pool. A 24-hour front desk, a concierge, safety deposit boxes, daily housekeeping and laundry service cover the day-to-day needs of a stay.

For meals there is a restaurant, a bar, a coffee shop and room service, with buffet and continental breakfast offered and a vending machine on site. Business facilities, meetings and seminars can be arranged, and the hotel also has a family room.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms and in public areas, and satellite and cable channels are offered. Free parking is available on site, and there is a car power charging station.

Ratchadaphisek Road runs through Chatuchak, a large district in north Bangkok, and the hotel sits on this road rather than in the old city. The area mixes residential streets, markets and commercial buildings, and it is a practical base for travellers who want metro access and markets close by. Its streets are used more by people who live and work there than by visitors, so the daily rhythm of the neighbourhood is local, with food stalls and small shops along the main roads.

The MRT metro is the most useful link: Lat Phrao station is 150 m away and Ratchadaphisek station is 700 m away. Suan Lum Night Bazaar is 50 m from the hotel, a night market with food and shopping stalls, and Chatuchak Weekend Market, 2.9 km away, is a sprawling weekend market with clothing, crafts and food stalls. Both markets sell a wide range of goods, from clothing and crafts to snacks and street food.

A good day out could start at Chatuchak Weekend Market, then travel across the city to the Grand Palace, 10.9 km away. Vibhaphirom Park, nearby, makes a green break between sightseeing trips. In the evening the night market is close by, and the hotel's bar gives you a place to finish the day after exploring.
