Bangkok 5 Star Hotels - Where to Stay?

Bangkok - the capital city of Thailand - has become a hub for leisure, entertainment, and business, receiving loads of travellers from all over the world. Bangkok has a little of everything to afford, from scores of unsurpassed attractions to continuous entertainment, to important business and financial centres.

There are numerous Bangkok 5 star hotels sprawled around the city and its many districts, primary districts being Sukhumvit, the Chao Phraya Riverside, Siam and Silom. The amazing part about the luxuriant hotels here is their quick access to the rest of the city, via sky or underground stations, or even boats.

Sukhumvit

The Sukhumvit district is a popular destination for tourists, being incredibly vibrant, trendy and modern. This area is a exciting hodge podge of trendy shopping malls, a plentiful choice choice in dining, perpetual leisure, and a night life ranging from the posh to the naughty. Being such a popular area, Sukhumvit houses many five-star hotels, such as the JW Marriott Bangkok, The Westin Grande Sukhumvit, and many more.

Chao Phraya Riverside

The Riverside area of Bangkok is where traditional and modern times meet. Amidst the many sophisticated, luxury hotels, there are quaint rice barges and water-taxis floating down the river, against a wonderful backdrop of temples and palaces. Traditional and historical places of interest are abundant in the area, and also some shopping, dining, entertainment and diverse high-end hotels like the Shangri-La Hotel Bangkok.

Siam

When it comes to shopping, the Siam district takes the lead. Countless sought-after shopping centres are situated here, such as the MBK Centre, Slam Discover Center, and myriad others. Siam Square is particularly loud, packed with restaurants of all sorts, designer stores, cinemas, entertainment and myriad attractions - not to speak of ritzy hotels such as the Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok. Public transport in the area naturally gives Siam an easy access to other districts of Bangkok.

Silom

Perhaps best known as one of Bangkok's most important financial districts, Silom in the daytime is a bustling business centre. But it's not merely all about work here - there is lots of play, particularly after the sun goes down. There are many smaller-scale malls and restaurants here, as well as the infamous nightlife district of Patpong. Many of the city's noted hotels are also found here, such as the Dusit Thani Hotel, Pan Pacific Bangkok and others.

When staying in these main areas of Bangkok, one doesn't have to worry about seeing the rest of the city, as public transport systems allow easy access to the rest of the city. There is a wide array of luxury hotels to choose from, and there is always some form of entertainment and dining nearby.
