Asoke is centrally located right in the heart of Sukhumvit Rd with Soi Cowboy right around the corner. There are many resturants in this area as well, Chinese, Thai, American, almost anything you could want, to include some really good street food. Hotels in the area include the Ambassador, an older hotel but not bad for the price and the tower wings are pretty decent. There are two Citadines on soi 16 and 23, a couple Imperial hotels that are better yet and then maybe over your budget is the Westin Grand. But you have a wide range of hotels to choose from. I'll leave you a site so you can search by area Good luck http://www.bangkok.com/hotels/sukhumvit/

a regular 5 star Westin...
Nice location, near the metro and lots of restaurants. The hotel itself is nice, but you could be at a 5-star chain anywhere in the world. Nothing memorable. The breakfast buffet was AWESOME. The room was nice and the bathroom was great. Internet access was like USD 30 a day! A rip off with the money you pay to stay there! All in all, a nice hotel...much like any other Hyatt, Westin, ....

This great hotel is one of the best in Sukhumvit. Lounge on ground floor and reception on the 7th floor. Really large room with modern furniture and splendid bathroom with separate bath and shower. Large pool and great view from the fitness room. We sleep easely four in one room without extra charge ( 2 adults and 2 childrens) and they don't charge also 2 extra breakfast. Perfect location upstair Robinson dpt store and BTS (Bangkok Sky Train) is 1 minute walking.

5-Star Sukhumvit
Very nice, clean and modern hotel with friendly and efficient staff. Got this via Priceline for $75 but normal rate around $120. However rooms comparable to other 4star hotels like Royal President. I think you are only paying extra for all the extra facilities available at the hotel but if you are not going to be spending much time at the hotel anyway then probably better off booking a very nice 4-star hotel but thats just my opinion.

Modern Hotel with all the Creature Comforts
From the street level you will enter the lower lobby where a water theme predominates. Up one level is the main lobby which was impressively done up in dark marble and the use of muted coloured lights to create a stunning visual impact (see pics-taken using a film camera and scanned so the quality is not great.).
The reception staff were very polished and professional and a few of them can speak different languages including Japanese.
It has a reasonably sized pool (see pics).
Unique Quality: Cool and elegant bedroom, with the Heavenly Bed (copyright) that all Westins are famous for. The bathroom was large and well appointed.
This property used to be under a different name and management but was refurbished and upgraded in 2003 and rebranded as the Westin Grande. The location was excellent, within walking distance of Asok skytrain station, and also within walking distance of Nana Plaza and its surrounds and street level shopping. Just across the soi is a 7-11 convenience store for your daily needs.
Update-Aug 2005: We stayed at this hotel a few years ago just immediately after the rebranding and got a good rate. However, at that time, the fitness centre was not ready. I have recently checked it out and it is far more expensive now (over US$100 per room night), which is a bit out of my budget. It is only one stytrain stop away from the new and upmarket Emporium Mall (the Food court at the Emporium is quite remarkable and I've written up on it at my Restaurant Tips section).

Nice
This is a nice hotel, hard to pass up Westin's Heavenly bed, and the service is always good. But in Bangkok, I really like the ambiance of the Marriott Resort and Spa on the River. Plus it was priced a little better (better value too).
The Westin is a good location, Sukhumvit is "downtown" and shopping is close Emporium (HIGH end western retail) is walking distance and Siam/MBK are a short train ride away.
Unique Quality: Pool was ok. Showing a little age. While I was there the Spa was undergoing renovation and was relocated to a suite on a guest room floor. That was very confusing to me and I kept wondering if it was services "for men only." It was not the best massage I've had in Bangkok, especially at Westin prices.. In room internet access was nice (expensive though). The lobby is on the 7th story of the building..... hence private... and the doormen were impeccably helpful.
stayed here for 3 nights and have to say that it is as good as it gets regarding 5 star hotels. large rooms and bathrooms and the hotel restaurants were excellent.the best feature with this hotel was the staff who were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. the spa facilities again were excellent. i have stayed in 5star hotels all over the world and would have to say that this is one of the best i have had the pleasure of staying in.
Great hotel
by TripAdvisor Member cadence8
I stayed at the Westin Grande Sukhamvit after staying at the Banyan Tree Bangkok (which was another great hotel) but the Westin is in a more convenient location for shopping, restaurants, and access to the Skytrain and Metro. The staff are are quite friendly and helpful without being obtrusive. The morning breakfast buffet is quite good and convenient, but otherwise stay away from the hotel's bar and restaurant/there are better values in the neighborhood. The hotel's car service to/from the airport is quite convenient and reasonable cost. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Reasonably priced Traditional Thai Massage near the Westin Bangkok
by Melanie_Putra
Hi Guys! I will be staying at the Westin Bangkok and wondering if you have any recommendation for a reasonably priced Thai Massage close by the hotel? I normally go to Healthland@Sathorn but this trip I may end up going for the nightly massage alone (my travelling companion isn't really into massages..), so I don't fancy taking the taxi back to the hotel alone at night. Normally I love getting a 2 hour Thai massage after dinner. Preferably best if it's location is on the same side as the hotel.. A bit nervous about walking alone back to the hotel late at night...
