Sukhumvit is packed full of cosmopolitan shopping, dining and entertainment, and also home to many towering offices, many of them housing top media and publishing companies. There are also lots of embassies.
Everything from affordable hi-rise hotels to sleek boutiques and luxury serviced apartments can be found along its length. Traffic can be a problem, but those staying here are usually within walking distance of a BTS Skytrain station. There is also a convenient intersection with the MRT Underground at Asok.

Slap bang beside the Skytrain and underground, this 362 room four-star in the heart of racy Sukhumvit is sublimely located. Designed in sumptuous contemporary style, it's also incredibly grand. Immaculate public areas, plush rooms, long lists of signature services and facilities - the Westin prides itself on the depth of its luxury, the breadth of its innovation. Facilities like conference rooms, business centre and butler service lend it serious executive appeal. But most joyous of all offerings are the bliss-inducing: the freeform pool, the timeless restaurants, the Vareena spa and the aptly titled 'Heavenly bed' – one of which graces every room.
