Ariyasomvilla
Thanon Sukhumvit
Located at the end of Soi 1 behind a virtual wall of frangipani, this beautifully renovated 1940s-era villa is one of the worst-kept accommodation secrets in Bangkok...
The Siam Heritage Boutique Suites
Riverside, Silom & Lumphini
Tucked off busy Th Surawong, this classy boutique hotel oozes with homey Thai charm – most likely because the owners also live in the same building...
Sacha's Hotel Uno
Thanon Sukhumvit
These 56 rooms in adjacent buildings are pretty compact, and are neither the ‘five-star’ promised in the marketing nor quite as impressive as the lobbies suggest...
Novotel Bangkok On Siam Square
Siam Square, Pratunam, Ploenchit & Ratchathewi
Appropriate for business or leisure, the soon-to-be-renovated Novotel Siam is conveniently located near the BTS and shopping. Breakfast is included.
Citadines Sukhumvit 16 Bangkok
Thanon Sukhumvit
Not, perhaps, quite as appealing as the Citidines on Soi 23, but still very difficult to argue with the space, service and facilities you get for these prices...
Indra Regent Hotel
Siam Square, Pratunam, Ploenchit & Ratchathewi
This soot-stained ’70s-era box doesn’t look like much from the outside, but the interior offers one of the better-value stays in this price range. Junior suites are touted as the best buys.
Narai Hotel
Riverside, Silom & Lumphini
Another giant mid-range tower on Silom Rd. With its purple-coated bellboys, fancy glass-encased lobby and attractive rooms, the popular Narai welcomes tourists and professionals from around the world...
The Davis Bangkok Hotel
Thanon Sukhumvit
If it's hard to pinpoint the design of the Davis it's probably because it seems to have covered all the bases with Chinese-, Japanese-, Myanmar- and Balinese-themed rooms. Domestically speaking, there are also 10 Thai-style villas surrounding a pool...
Metropolitan By Como, Bangkok
Riverside, Silom & Lumphini
The very essence of urban cool, the Metropolitan was reborn from the ashes of – wait for it – a YMCA. The techno-cool lobby sets the tone for sleek, modern rooms with sexy furniture and earthy tones...
Ibis Bangkok Sathorn
Riverside, Silom & Lumphini
The business-friendly Ibis delivers comfort and convenience without corporate expense-account prices.
Navalai River Resort
Banglamphu
Perched between the banks of Mae Nam Chao Phraya and arty Th Phra Athit, this busy 74-room boutique hotel delivers on location, style and space...
Shangri La Hotel, Bangkok
Riverside, Silom & Lumphini
A recent renovation has this riverside, resort-feeling hotel looking much younger than its nearly 30 years...
Inter Continental, Bangkok
Siam Square, Pratunam, Ploenchit & Ratchathewi
Ultimately inner-city, the Intercontinental is like an extremely expensive glass of quality Scotch whiskey: it provides top-shelf beauty, taste and class without being excessively fancy. No silly cocktail umbrellas and garnishes here...
Marvel Hotel Bangkok Formerly Grand Park...
Thanon Sukhumvit
A palette of cocoa and black brings a splash of global Zen to Soi 22. Not quite the Park Avenue of international repute, this large hotel does a convincing job of acting like an intimate boutique...
Anantara Bangkok Riverside Resort And Spa
Located south of the city on the banks of Mae Nam Chao Phraya, ‘resort’ is in this case at least an accurate moniker for this expansive, relax-oriented hotel...
The Swiss Lodge
Riverside, Silom & Lumphini
Stereotypes about Switzerland all spring to life in this cosy hotel. It is small, clean, efficient, peaceful and uneventful. The staff are polite and you even get to eat fondue here...
Millennium Hilton Bangkok
Riverside, Silom & Lumphini
As soon as you enter the dramatic lobby, it’s obvious that this is Bangkok’s youngest-feeling, most modern riverside hotel...
The Sukhothai Bangkok
Riverside, Silom & Lumphini
If you’re sick of cookie-cutter international hotels where you need to remind yourself what city you’re in, stay at the Sukhothai...
Asia Hotel Bangkok
Siam Square, Pratunam, Ploenchit & Ratchathewi
A recent renovation has this tourist-group staple looking slightly more modern than the 1970s-era lobby would suggest. Connoisseurs of kitsch don't fret: the hotel's Calypso Cabaret and a nightly Elvis show are still in full effect...
Rembrandt Hotel & Towers
Thanon Sukhumvit
A dignified member of the Sukhumvit hotel elite, the Rembrandt offers conservative, elegant accommodation and some of the city's finest 'ethnic' restaurants...
The Tivoli Hotel Bangkok
The 133-room Tivoli is a classy new hotel that punches well above its midrange price tag. The contemporary design approaches chic in an orange way, and unlike some in this bracket the Tivoli has few rough edges...
Baiyoke Sky Hotel
Siam Square, Pratunam, Ploenchit & Ratchathewi
Many are tempted by the astounding panoramas and city-wide reputation of Thailand's highest tower, an impressive landmark that dominates the skyline. Aside from the magic views they offer, the rooms at the Baiyoke are unfortunately a let-down...
