The Baiyoke Suite Hotel is a large, budget property high up in a tower right in the midst of central Bangkok. Not to be confused with the neighboring Baiyoke Tower, Bangkok's tallest building and also a hotel, the Baiyoke Suite is also quite tall, with a 43rd-floor restaurant overlooking the city. There are 255 rooms here, all of them spacious suites with stocked minibars and simple decor that includes dining tables and sofas. Rooms are somewhat dim and don't have free Wi-Fi, but are a great value for this part of town. The hotel also has an open-air swimming pool, a small fitness center, meeting facilities, and a business center corner. In addition to the sky-high restaurant, there is a cafe specializing in halal food, both Thai and international.

The upscale 186-room Royal President Bangkok sits on a side street off Sukhumvit Road, a major artery that's home to many bars, restaurants, and shops, and is within a 15-minute walk of two Skytrain stations; the hotel offers free tuk-tuk service to these stations, Sukhumvit Road, and the Terminal 21 Shopping Mall).

In-room Wi-Fi is free, and breakfast, which is served on the rooftop, is included in the room rate (breakfast gets so-so reviews).

The upper-middle-range Legacy Suites Bangkok consists of stylish apartment-style suites with kitchenettes. It has a central location in Sukhumvit but is nestled on a dead-end street that receives little noise or traffic. Bathrooms have soaking tubs and glassed-in showers. Extras like bathrobes, slippers, and washers/dryers are also available. A major highlight of the Legacy Suites is the blue tile outdoor pool that has a kids' area and a whirlpool; many hotels at this price point don't have a pool at all. There's also a rooftop sports field and a fitness center with a wide range of cardio and weight-training equipment, and a business center. Breakfast is included in the room rate, and in-room Wi-Fi is free, but guests complain about the slow connection. Still, for a hotel with this many features and extras, rates are competitive for what you get, even for Bangkok.

Opened in 2013, the 316-room Courtyard by Marriott Hotel Bangkok tower is a modern, high-end chain hotel with an outdoor pool, business-catering facilities, and modern, warmly decorated rooms with perks like iPod docks. The huge lobby would do as the backdrop for a recent Bond movie, while the rooms are amongst the largest in Bangkok. The pool, gym, and top-notch restaurants inject some pragmatism into the hotel's sleek, minimalist design. The check-in process is notably easy, accompanied by free welcome drinks, but the glass-walled peekaboo bathrooms in rooms aren't for everyone. The hotel isn't right in the middle of the shopping district, and a short walk or a few stops on the metro are necessary to get most places, but the major historical sightseeing area is only 20 minutes away.

Designed with long-term guests in mind, the upscale Sathorn Vista is composed of large, executive apartments with full kitchens, washers and dryers, and even vacuum cleaners. Priced to match Bangkok’s highest end hotels, the property offers a lot of space for the money, not to mention a lovely outdoor pool, two tasty restaurants, meeting rooms, and a kids' play area. Situated just off of busy Sathorn Road, with public transit a 10- to 15-minute walk away, the hotel maintains a quiet, suburban feel amidst a very urban setting, making it well-suited to both business travelers and families. One of the few downsides is a fee for breakfast. Another solid business hotel option is the nearby Banyan Tree Bangkok, which has a rooftop pool and some spa-style bathrooms.

The luxury Centara Grand & Bangkok Convention Center at CentralWorld Hotel has 505 large rooms with stunning Bangkok views and is attached to one of the largest malls on earth, CentralWorld. From Red Sky, a rooftop bar and restaurant, to the hotel’s resort-worthy pool and on-site SPA Cenvaree, many aspects of this property make a memorable impression. Rooms are contemporary and comfortable, even if they aren’t impeccably chic compared to other four-and-a-half pearl properties in Bangkok, and the hotel’s Ploenchit-Chidlom location is extremely convenient to major sights and landmarks. Guests looking for a luxury hotel closer to the Chao Phraya River should try Ramada Plaza Bangkok Menam Riverside, which offers similar amenities though without Centara Grand’s central location.
