Bangplad is a riverside neighbourhood on the Chao Phraya in western Bangkok, where local streets, ferry piers and older houses line the water. The Chao Phraya is the city's main river, and the hotel's river views look out over it.The old city's temples and palaces lie across the river, and the hotel stands on Charansanitwong Road. Visitors who want to stay close to the river and to the metro will find the area practical.

The Wat Thepnahree Pier is 100 m from the hotel, with river ferries calling there, and Sirindhorn MRT Station is 850 m away for trips into the city. Across the river, The Grand Palace is 3.9 km away, with the Temple of the Emerald Buddha in the same complex, and Wat Arun, the riverside temple with its tall spire, is 4.6 km away. Khaosan Road, the backpacker street known for street food and bars, is 2.8 km away.

A good day can cover the temples and palaces of the old city, then go further to the Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of Bangkok's largest weekend markets, and finish on Khaosan Road in the evening. The hotel's free parking helps those who drive, while the metro is the simplest way to move around the city without a car.
