Pleasant rooms feature contemporary Thai decor and plenty of modern features including microwaves, flat-screen TVs, DVD players, and free Wi-Fi.

Swissotel Le Concorde Bangkok is a sleek, four-and-a-half-pearl business hotel just north of the city's center. The 407 rooms are spread over 22 floors and offer great amenities and marble bathrooms, though some could use updates. This hotel's biggest selling point is its extensive list of facilities: a dozen meeting and event spaces, a modern fitness center, a luxurious spa, and an outdoor pool, along with five bars and restaurants offering everything from dim sum to Japanese fare. While some tourists stay here, the location isn't the greatest for getting to nightlife. Those wanting to be in the heart of Bangkok's popular Sukhumvit neighborhood might want to consider the small S31 Sukhumvit Hotel instead.

The four-pearl Westin Grande Sukhumvit has a central location on Sukhumvit Road, amid some of Bangkok's top dining, drinking, and nightlife venues. Its sky-high design means that respite from the vibrant street life below is only an elevator ride away. This traditional 362-room hotel is a solid choice -- in addition to its central location, it has a couple of quality restaurants and a rooftop pool, and as such draws guests from business travelers to families. Rooms are spacious and clean, with amenities like air-conditioning and TVs, but have little personality and dated bathrooms. Travelers not keen on Bangkok’s nightlife may want to seek a location away from Sukhumvit and its red light district. The Rembrandt Hotel Bangkok has a similar location but is situated down a quieter tree-lined road.

The mid-range Twin Towers Hotel is years past its prime and in need of renovation. The outdated decor carries through from the communal areas to the guest rooms, and gives the characterless appearance of a convention space rather than a hotel. Extra charges for the Wi-Fi, gym, and other services garner negative feedback, and staff are often reported to be unhelpful and impolite. Though within walking distance of the Skytrain and the popular MBK shopping center, and a short ride to Chinatown, there's little in the immediate vicinity, and other downtown attractions are not easily accessible. The relaxing pool area gets more positive reviews, and suites are somewhat more modern than standard rooms. In all, The Twin Towers targets large tour groups and Chinese tourists in particular; westerners seeking more well-attended, modern rooms could be better off at the three-pearl Budacco.
