The Westin Grande Sukhumvit, Bangkok

Every room has a city view, and room sizes run from 40 to 70 m². The rooms have a king bed or two double beds, and there are one-bedroom suites with a second bathroom and a separate toilet. Some rooms are on a high floor, and the rooms with club lounge access give guests use of the club lounge.

Most bathrooms have a bathtub, bathrobes, toiletries and a hair dryer, and the rooms come with an electric kettle and a mirror. Some rooms have satellite or cable channels and a telephone. The hotel also has rooms with accessibility features such as a hand-held shower wand and visual alarms.

The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre, a spa with a sauna and steam room, and massage treatments, along with a yoga room and a salon. A shared lounge with a TV area and a convenience store are also on site.

Dining includes restaurants, a coffee shop, a poolside bar, a snack bar and 24-hour room service, and food delivery is offered. Tours can be arranged, and the hotel offers an airport transfer, car hire and a shuttle service.

Currency exchange, luggage storage, laundry and dry cleaning services, and a concierge are available. Free parking is available on site, and valet parking is also offered, so guests can choose how they arrive by car.

Sukhumvit Road is one of Bangkok's longest roads, lined with hotels, office towers, shopping centres and street-food stalls. The stretch around Asok mixes business buildings with a lively evening scene, and Soi Cowboy, a nightlife lane with bars, is 300 m away. Much of the area is reached on foot, and the pavements fill with food stalls and small restaurants in the evening.

Asok BTS Station is 150 m from the hotel, and the Skytrain runs along Sukhumvit Road towards the central shopping districts. Siam Paragon, a large shopping centre in the Siam area, is 2.9 km away, and Kamthieng House Museum, a traditional northern Thai wooden house, sits within walking distance. The Sukhumvit MRT Station is also close, so the subway adds a second line to the city.

For a full day out, the Grand Palace is 7.5 km away, and the temples along the Chao Phraya river, including Wat Arun, are the classic sights of the old city. Getting to the old city usually means a taxi, as the sights are far from the Skytrain. Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of the largest markets in Bangkok, is a day out in its own right, and the Jim Thompson House, a museum of traditional Thai houses and silk, makes a quieter stop.
