Grand Hyatt Erawan
The Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok is a premier deluxe business hotel with resort-style facilities and is strategically located on Rajdamri Road, right in the heart of Bangkok. The hotel is close to one of Bangkok's most important landmarks, the Erawan Shrine in the business and commercial district of Bangkok and just 40 minutes from Bangkok's Airport.
When the former deluxe Erawan Hotel was built in the mid 1950's, construction met so many problems that superstitious workers refused to continue. Astrologers proposed a shrine to honour the four-faced god Brahma, known to Thais as Than Tao Mahaprom, as the most auspicious solution. The Fine Arts Department cast a magnificent image of Brahma and installed it on November 9, 1956 in ehat is known as the Erawan Shrine. Constuction carried on with no further problems and the Erawan Hotel opened to much acclaim. In 1991, the ageing Erawan Hotel was rebuilt as the Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok
"Erawan" is the name of the mythical three-headed elephant. In honour of the old Erawan Hotel, two six foot high three-headed bronze elephants guard the new Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok's Main Entrance and the three headed elephant became the sub logo of the Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok.
The distance from Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK) to the hotel is 35 kilometres and takes 40 minutes by car. We can transport you there in one of our elegant and comfortable, chauffeur-driven Mercedes-Benz S class limousines.
Alternatively, Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok is able to offer a helicopter service to guests wishing to transfer direct from the airport to the rooftop heliport or visit nearby provinces.
