Where to Stay in Sukhumvit
Editor's Guide to Hotel Locations in Sukhumvit
The easiest way to break Sukhumvit Road down is by Skytrain (BTS) station, and somehow the area around each station has developed its own unique character with special attractions, highlights and supporters. What all of these areas have in common - apart from easy Skytrain access - is a selection of fine hotels suited to every taste and budget, and we've lined up the best for you, along with some great deals.
The start of Sukhumvit Road is at the Ratchaprasong intersection (both the Chidlom and Ploenchit BTS stations are nearby), and for hotels in this area, renowned for its many upper-end shopping malls, you can have a look at the Ratchaprasong hotels section. Other hotels along this road are mostly concentrated around the Nana, Asok and Phrom Phong BTS stations, which are the most popular areas.
The further away from the city towards the end of the BTS line at On Nut station, the more suburban and less touristy Sukhumvit Road becomes

Nana
Nana BTS station is close to Sukhumvit 'sois' (streets) 5, 6 and 7, an area known for nightlife and its street market. The infamous Nana Plaza (a Go-Go 'mall') is possibly the area's biggest attraction, but there are also many tailors, jewelry shops, great restaurants and the charming Little Arabia, an authentic touch of the Middle East with wonderful (and different!) eating experiences. The Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre, where many exhibitions and trade fairs are held throughout the year, is also close by.
JW Marriott Bangkok
5-star | Supreme Luxury | Great Restaurants | Business, Leisure or Families | Internet in rooms | City Views | Spa
Situated halfway between Ploenchit and Nana BTS stations (100 and 150 metres,
respectively), and with a direct skylink connection to Ploenchit Centre on the other side of Sukhumvit 'soi' (street) 2, this gracious and elegant luxury property is a landmark hotel. Not only for rising a respectable 24 floors into the sky, but also for the high standards it has set. Rooms are luxuriously furnished in a contemporary Thai style with many hi-tech features. There are no less than ten popular restaurants and bars to choose from, a highly-acclaimed spa, excellent Business Centre facilities, a great outdoor poolside area, an Executive Floor with special privileges, and much, much more. Like the sumptuous, marbled bathrooms with separate bathtub and shower cubicle.

Asok
One of the biggest conveniences of this area is that the Sukhumvit BTS line connects here with the underground (MRT), giving you the flexibility to explore larger parts of the city with public transportation (quickly and conveniently). This is near Sukhumvit 'sois' (streets) 14, 16, 19 and 21, and also home to a large Robinson's Departments Store, a TOPS Supermarket and smaller malls like Times Square. At night, street vendors set up shop in the area around the BTS station, and a wide range of Asian and international restaurants can also be found here.
S15 Sukhumvit
3-Star | Internet in Rooms | Near BTS
From outside, it's easy to mistake S15 Sukhumvit Hotel for an upmarket interior store. Step inside though, and you discover an intimate boutique hotel containing all things hip and cool in designer circles. Both public areas and its 72 rooms sport chocolate and hazelnut browns against muted earth toned granite, marble, glass, mirror and reflective metals. Natural materials like leather and a host of warm fabrics interplay with Italian light fittings. Far from being just functional square boxes, rooms come in interesting shapes and sizes (from 30 square metres to 50), and feature chic dark wood shutters and four-poster bed. No pool but hi-tech trimmings like free Wi-Fi Internet, massive plasma TVs, DVD players and iPod docking stations (suites only), plus a business centre, spa and fitness centre, more than make amends.
