I have stayed in both and my choice would be Okura. I am a HH Diamond, but even with the possible upgrade, I would rather stay at Okura. Lounge offerings used to be decent at Conrad, but it has gone downhill.
Okura has better service overall, much nicer F&B offerings and easier access to BTS in case you want to take public transport. I also like the pool at Okura, even though it’s not a priority for you.

The latest I've been allowed for checkout is 4 or 5pm as a Diamond and moderately frequent guest over the years. I have been given pool access (and thus shower/locker room) into the evening, so that I could take a shower before heading to the airport.

Was booked at the Conrad this week on a similar rate to you and then looked on Agoda and realised I needn't pay so much for a hotel in this city. Even with the neglible Diamond perks it wasn't worth it.
Needless to say that Conrad reservation was binned quickly.
So you could consider booking something seperately for your late evening checkout. At least then you'll have your own private space.

Hi Hilton folks, I have a friend heading to BKK next Saturday, April 1-6, and will have some minor treatment and checkups at Bumrungrad in Sukhumvit Soi 3 (very central). I have convinced her to seek alternatives to her THB6800++ incl breakfast rate at the Hyatt Sukhumvit.
I told her I could likely find her a comparably priced room at a nice hotel that also includes Exec Lounge access.
But a big question post-Covid (even pre Covid!) was the differences between various Bangkok hotel Exec Lounges.
She has NO status in any chain of hotels, has never had lounge access but wants to splurge after being trapped in Hong Kong and Macao for 3 years!.
What are the best ones in town in terms of Club Lounge offerings, combined with a nice pool?
Most Hilton properties are slightly LESS than her standard room with BF at the Hyatt:
I'm seeing the Conrad Bangkok (where I've stayed before and liked the gym, pool, and lounge but all pre Covid) for THB6,000 for Exec Room.... (cheaper than all Bonvoy options). That's where I'm leaning now.
Hitlon Sukhumvit THB 5,800 for exec room
Most Bonvoys are around her cost or slightly more:
Le Meridien Surawong (THB 6562)
Westin Grande (THB 7500)
Marriott Queens Park (THB 7200)
Marriott Sukhumvit (THB7000)
Also open to non-chain hotels like Kempinski, Movenpick, Sofitel, if you can recommend any excellent club facilities!
Any opinions welcome! Only have 2 days to decide, so I appreciate your help.
Thanks!

New Bangkok Hotels
Hilton Garden Inn Silom - used to be Novotel - says from 27th Dec
Hilton Asoke - used to the Pullman - says from 31st Dec
However both show no rooms when try to book.
Must have been an issue with the owners, to have this a quick change over. Nothing in the news yet. Reached out to my friend in Hilton to see if they know.
Will be great to have some new options, especially Asoke.
