The Park Nine Hotel Srinakarin

The suites range from one to three bedrooms, with a king studio among the rooms, and several of them overlook the pool or the garden. Across the property, rooms can have a kitchenette, a microwave, a refrigerator, a balcony or terrace, blackout curtains and an in-room safe, and some of the suites sleep up to six guests, one of them in a 250 m² duplex.

Bathrooms are fitted with bathtubs and grab bars, and several suites have roll-in showers and transfer showers for guests with mobility needs. Rooms can also have bathrobes, slippers, toiletries and a hair dryer. The property has an elevator and is wheelchair accessible.

The property has an outdoor swimming pool and a children's swimming pool, and the garden and terrace are on site. For a workout or some relaxation, there is a fitness centre, a sauna, a hot tub and a steamroom, and table tennis is also available.

The restaurants serve a la carte dishes in Asian, Chinese, International and Western cuisine, and there is a coffee shop, room service and food delivery, with buffet breakfast as well.

For getting around, there is a 24-hour front desk, an airport transfer, a shuttle service and a taxi service, along with luggage storage, daily housekeeping and laundry service. Free parking is available on site, and valet parking is offered too.

The hotel sits in the Srinakarin area of Bang Na, on the eastern side of Bangkok, on Srinakarin 59 Road. This is a mostly local district of residential streets, small shops and larger shopping centres rather than a tourist centre, so the surroundings feel like a neighbourhood. Markets and small eateries are part of everyday life here, and visitors see how Bangkok's eastern districts live day to day, with neighbourhood streets close at hand.

Public transport is close: the Si Udom and Suan Luang Rama IX MRT stations are both within 850 m of the hotel. Rama IX Park, a large public park with gardens, is 1.1 km away and makes a good place for a morning walk, and Wat Wachiratham Sathit Worawihan, a temple with a pagoda, lies 1.8 km away. Pororo Aqua Park, a themed family attraction, is also nearby, and the Train Night Market Srinakarin makes a lively evening stop.

Suvarnabhumi Airport is 10.9 km away, so the hotel is a practical stop for arrivals and departures. For a full day out, the Grand Palace and Wat Arun are both about 18.6 km away, so plan the trip across the city as a day of its own.
