The upscale, 568-room AVANI Atrium is located near, although not quite in, Bangkok's center along New Petchaburi Road, within a 10-minute walk of the Petchaburi subway station and the Makkasan airport link station (the airport is about a 15-minute train ride). All rooms come with 40-inch flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi. There's a pleasant outdoor pool and a state-of-the art fitness center on the fourth floor. Public Restaurant offers a free breakfast buffet to guests and a market Champagne brunch on weekends.

The luxurious Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel, on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, offers an escape from traffic-clogged Bangkok. With 726 rooms, it's one of the city's largest hotels. All rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows that offer superb views of the flowing river. While the hotel can be reached by road, a daily free shuttle boat service delivers guests to and from the nearby Saphan Taksin BTS Skytrain station and the main ferry pier. The hotel has two outdoor pools (including a freshwater lap pool), a spa, tennis court, state-of-the art fitness center, business center, 28,000 square feet of conference space, four restaurants, and a Club Lounge with panoramic views. It's popular among tour groups, which can make for crowds.

The Peninsula is one of Bangkok's more elegant luxury properties. Traditional, understated rooms feature marble bathrooms with large tubs, living quarters with large writing desks, and excellent river and city views. Numerous features include the Cantonese Mei Jiang fine-dining restaurant, the riverside Thiptara Thai, a huge swimming pool, an upscale fitness center, and the Peninsula Spa. The only downside (beside steep prices) is that the hotel is located on the west side of the Chao Phraya River. However, a shuttle boat quickly brings guests to the east bank, where most of Bangkok's main attractions are located.

The Anantara Bangkok Riverside Resort & Spa is a luxury resort perched along the river outside central Bangkok, and a free, 20-minute ferry ride from the capital's bustling downtown. With a full-service spa, large outdoor pool flanked by lounges and palm trees, a modern fitness club with a sauna, a kids' club, and nine restaurants and bars -- as well as a dinner cruise -- the resort has plenty on-site to keep guests entertained. Fun extras include a cooking school, organized cultural tours around the city, and a smartphone in each room with free 4G. Rooms are large and luxurious, and all have private balconies, many with river views. It's worth noting, however, that prices for food and services can be high, and guests who want to be in the city center may be disappointed by the location.

Smack in the middle of the busy Siam Square shopping area, this upscale chain hotel offers 428 rooms, the simplest of which are somewhat spare in decor. Wood laminate furniture and industrial wall-to-wall carpeting make for comfortable, if unremarkable rooms at a rate that is slightly elevated for the area; pricier rooms here have higher quality built-ins and renovated bathrooms. In-house offerings include a spa with a sauna and massage options, a rooftop pool, and a well-equipped fitness center. There are several dining options on the premises, though the teeming street life nearby also offers lots of possibilities. Guests seeking more stylish rooms for a similar price could try The Siam@Siam Design Hotel and Spa, about 15 minutes away.

A value hotel that's smack bang in the middle of the action on Sukhumvit Soi, the Grand President Bangkok hotel has 437 rooms with kitchenettes over 48 floors and three outdoor swimming pools. The hotel is comprised of three towers, with a rooftop pool and restaurant in each. The Grand President may not be the newest on the Soi -- and unfortunately it's beginning to show signs of age, particularly the furnishings which have signs of wear and tear -- but the property has reasonable rates considering its prime location and large rooms. However, it may be worth comparing this place with the Majestic Suites Hotel -- a 10-minute walk from the Grand President -- which has newer, smarter rooms and a more intimate vibe.

The upper-middle-range Prince Palace Hotel offers 744 rooms in four towers located on a particularly busy corner of central Bangkok. With multiple pools and restaurants on-site, the hotel feels like a self-contained resort in the middle of the city, and while its initial impression is quite grand, rooms aren’t particularly chic or contemporary. The views from several higher floors would cost a pretty penny elsewhere, so staying here can be a good value, but guests should be prepared to take taxis, tuk-tuks, and the canal ferry just behind the hotel as there are very few notable sights within walking distance. Guests looking to stay near Sukhumvit Road could try Alt Hotel Nana for more contemporary rooms in a better neighborhood, though it lacks a pool.

Part of the Warwick brand, this high-rise luxury hotel is centrally located in Bangkok’s Sukhumvit area, next to many restaurants and bars, and a 10-minute walk from the nearest Skytrain station. A well-rounded array of features is on offer, including a full spa, an outdoor pool, a modern gym, and a variety of high-quality restaurants. All rooms are spacious, modern, and immaculately clean, and some suites have two full bathrooms, kitchenettes, or terraces with city views. All told, the Rembrandt is a great option for both leisure and business travelers, as well as families.

The luxury, 500-room Sukosol is conveniently located with direct airport access from Phaya Thai station, though there are few restaurants or attractions in the immediate vicinity. While interiors and communal areas offer attractive contemporary Thai design, some guest rooms are notably dated, though all have minibars and flat-screen TVs. The wide choice of restaurants and bars get mixed reviews, but the uncrowded pool and hot tub are widely appreciated, as is the poolside spa. Elevators are slow, making rooms on the lower floors worthwhile, though those higher up have impressive city views. The free Wi-Fi can be iffy. For a similarly luxurious property with direct Skytrain access, consider the Eastin Grand Hotel Sathorn Bangkok.
