Bangkok Hotels

The oriental hotel
The legendary Oriental Hotel

 
There's a rich selection of places to stay in Bangkok. Everything from the world's top rated hotel to cheap hostels can be found. In the "top rated" category, you'll find the Oriental Hotel, which is consistently ranked one of the world's finest hotels year after year. This 125 year old landmark is worth a visit, even if you're not staying there.

Bangkok hotels can be had in a wide range of prices, even for the same quality. Location usually has something to do with it. A business class hotel in the heart of the city will normally run $100 or more a night, but if you get just a little ways outside of the central areas you can get an equivalent class of hotel for $60 or even $40 a night.

This page features our picks for hotels worth considering. There's no single criteria for these selections. Some are just good values for their location, while some like the Oriental you just have to treat yourself to at least once in your life.

All of the hotels below may be booked online through one or more of our travel partners. Click on the hotel names to see the hotel details and rates from each partner. Our partners specialize in Asia's most popular 2-star to 5-star hotels and resorts, and offers the guaranteed lowest rates for advance hotel room reservations.

For more hotels, see our comprehensive list of Bangkok hotels, which you can also browse by price or class.

Worth noting: Hotels throughout Southeast Asia generally limit you to no more than three people per room. Families will often need to try to get adjoining rooms, which can be both expensive and unpredictable. An alternative available in most major cities and tourist destinations, including Bangkok, is the serviced apartment. Serviced apartments offer a wider range of room types than hotels, but often have most of the other services you expect from a hotel. Our partner Move and Stay lists more than 100 serviced and self-catered apartments available in cities around Southeast Asia.
