On the thread topic of selecting top hotels, one important factor is location.
That's something hotel management can not control, but from the perspective of many visitors to Bangkok, it's very important.

Bangkok is a filthy, gritty, ugly city.
Some grass, some trees, and a pond of water, can offer welcome respite for a visitor here.
So, being close to Lumpini Park, the "Central Park" of Bangkok, is a big plus for any hotel.

Dusit and Pan Pacific score high for central location and convenience, plus, both are just a few minutes easy walk from that park.
Dusit is just across the street.
