The 7 Best Hotels in Bangkok (Updated 2024)

Posted: 2/19/24 | February 19th, 2024

Famous for its chaotic streets, friendly people, cheap and delicious street food, and wild nightlife, Bangkok is one of my favorite cities in the world (I even spent two years living here). It just has a contagious energy that can’t be beat. I never ever ever get tired of coming here.

A city of eight million people, Thailand’s capital is huge. Choosing where to stay in Bangkok can be overwhelming, especially for first-time visitors, as there is a ton to see and do here and the city is very spread out (luckily with a much improved public transportation system).

I’ve been visiting the city since 2005 and have stayed in hundreds of hotels, guesthouses, and hostels. There’s thousands to choose from. To help you plan your trip, here’s my list of the best hotels in Bangkok:

1. Bangkok Hotel Lotus Sukhumvit 33

This four-star hotel is centrally located on Sukhumvit, in an area that is renowned for its nightlife, shopping, and lots of restaurants. It’s very central to a lot of things, including the Skytrain. While it’s a bit dated, the rooms are spacious, clean, and equipped with amenities including flatscreen TVs, desks, electric kettles, complimentary Wi-Fi, and minibars. The beds are firm and adorned with plush bedding and the rooms get a lot of natural light thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows. Some rooms even having little seating areas.

Hotel facilities include a rooftop pool, spa, and a decent fitness center with sauna. There’s also an on-site restaurant that serves Thai and international dishes as well as a breakfast. Overall, I really like this hotel and think it’s a solid value for such a convenient location.

2. House of Phraya Jasaen

This three-star hotel is built inside a collection of seven old antique shophouses. The shops were remodeled into a 32-room boutique hotel with an eclectic industrial design, with brushed concrete walls offset by softer wooden accenting. There are ten different room types, including rooms with kitchenettes and single rooms with a shared bathroom (perfect for those on a budget who want more privacy than dorm). Room size and amenities vary depending on the room you choose, but all rooms have AC, a flat-screen TV, and free Wi-Fi.

There’s also small spa on-site and a restaurant with a delicious breakfast too. They also offer a cool perk: after you’ve checked out, if you want to come back and shower before a late-night flight, you’re welcome…
