The area has embassies, office buildings and tree-lined streets, and the green expanse of Lumphini Park, 500 m from the hotel, is one of the city's best-known parks. Its paths and lake make it a popular place for a walk.

Lumphini MRT Station is 300 m from the hotel, and the Blue Line it serves connects the area to the rest of Bangkok by metro. Within a few hundred metres you will find the Wireless House museum and the gardens of Wireless Park.

The Grand Palace, 6.3 km away, is the best-known sight in old Bangkok, and Wat Arun, on the west bank of the river, is another temple worth seeing.
