This thread refers to the various Marriott brands within a specific geographic area. Marriott Bonvoy hotels in XX usually have posts asking which property is better, etc. Trip reports are usually better suited in the property specific threads.
Can someone who knows list the names of the hotels here in this long thread? Here are the names, addresses, email contact, commonly used abbreviations and some basic info about each hotel. (Location information, CL and breakfast information, UG experiences reported within the thread, typical room layout and frequently mentioned basic advice for different properties.) Keep in mind most posts indicate these are all great hotels. Hope this helps. CJK

- JW Marriott Hotel Bangkok (JW) 4 Sukhumvit Road, Soi 2, Bangkok 10110, Thailand between the Phloen Chit and Nana BTS Stations. There is a pretty large CL. Elites mostly report having complimentary breakfast offered only at the CL and not in a restaurant. Some are bothered by the hotel's proximity to the Nana district and think the hotel may get some associated business while others (myself) have not really noticed this unless looking hard to see it. The hotel was recently renovated and there are a few posts showing pictures. UGs are usually to the club level regular room where the bathrooms are interior (no outside glass wall) and feature rather small showers but great soaking tubs. Unlike the other hotels listed here, the toilets are not in enclosures.
- Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong Hotel (Ren) 518/8 Ploenchit Road Khwaeng Lumphini, Khet Pathum Wan, Bangkok almost attached to the Chit Lom BTS Station and the SkyWalk. One can reach the platform without having to walk on public sidewalks and by using escalators/elevators in the building next door, so most feel this is the property with the fastest and easiest access to BTS. The CL is smaller than the JW's and sometimes gets full. Some elites report having a choice of the complimentary breakfast in the restaurant (which is quite good and huge) while others report having that request denied. Latest reports indicate the restaurant breakfast is offered as of April 2018. The hotel does not have many suites so UGs are usually to corner rooms which often have seating and/or dressing areas as well as larger bathrooms with full glass walls. IMO this is the best/most convenient hotel for a first timer looking to do typical touristy things in Bangkok.
- Courtyard by Marriott Bangkok (CY) 155/1 Soi Mahadlekluang 1 Ratchadamri Road Bangkok is about a five minute walk to either the Ratchadamri or Chit Lom BTS Stations. The hotel operates tuk-tuks to/from the BTS Station. The hotel has a CL and consistently offers elites a choice of breakfast there or in the restaurant. The CL is on the top floor of the hotel and has outdoor seating. Having stayed at the hotel several times as a P, PP and LTP I have never been given an UG, so if there are others who can chime in on that please do. The regular room has a small interior only bathroom with a window overlooking the room and no tub, only a walk-in shower. IMO the price can makes this a great choice, as it is convenient to many places a visitor will go. Sometimes it can be half the price of other Marriott options and they often run double points promotions. (Call the hotel to ask, it cannot hurt.)
- Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park (Sukhumvit Soi 22) 199 ถนน สุขุมวิท ซอย 22 Khwaeng Khlong Tan, Khet Khlong Toei, กรุงเทพมหานคร 10110, Thailand is about an eight minute walk to the Emporium Mall and Phrom Phong BTS Station either down the Soi sidewalk or through Queen's Park. The hotel operates a regular shuttle to the BTS Station although some have reported trouble catching it back to the hotel. The CL is large, with an outdoor deck, and most people report not being given a choice for the complimentary breakfast in the restaurant. Most Plats report getting UG to a suite, with the M Suite seeming to be most common. It has a living room, bedroom and single large interior bathroom with separate walk-in showers and tubs. This is the largest hotel in Bangkok.
- Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit (Sukhumvit Soi 57) 2 ถนน สุขุมวิท 57 Phra Khanong, Khlong Toei, กรุงเทพมหานคร 10110, Thailand ([email protected]) is a two minute walk to the Thong Lo BTS Station. Getting to the station involves crossing Thong Lo intersection which can be daunting. The hotel is about a ten minute BTS ride to the central malls, the Ren, etc. The area is a little quieter and more "Thai" than the more touristy/business area where the JW, Ren and CY are located. Some people report being able to have complimentary breakfast in the restaurant while others report lounge only. The CL is about the same size as the Ren's and can get crowded in the early evening. The hotel is on the higher floors of a 40+ story building and the CL is located on one of the top floors, offering stunning views of Bangkok. There is a rooftop bar on the top of the building with great views, too. Elites are often given a coupon for a free drink on the roof. Plats report mostly getting UGs to a two room suite with an extra half bath. The main bath includes an enclosed toilet, a single large walk-in shower and a large soaking tub that can easily seat two. (While the tub is large, the JW, Marquis and Ren tubs are more comfortable for a single person looking to lean back and relax.) IMO this is the quietest of the hotels listed here.
- Bangkok Marriott Hotel The Surawongse 262 Thanon Surawong, Khwaeng Si Phraya, Khet Bang Rak, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10500, Thailand is the newest hotel. As of April 2018 there are not many posts from users who have stayed, nor is there an abbreviation being commonly used on this forum. The hotel is not attached/close to a BTS or MRT station but is near the Silom business area and some more popular adult entertainment establishments.

Thanks for your input guys!
Kalboz - do you have a blog or something? Would love to read your travels in Thailand, especially Bangkok. It's one country that we love travelling so much that we keep going back for more every year! These building connectors does WONDERS in the mid-day bangkok heat, just like the massive skywalk that connects you from Chit Lom all the way to the Pranthunam Platinum mall. I'm guess the PA doesn't have that, as I don't really recall that the last time we walked from the BTS to the Conrad..

From the JWM to Ploenchit BTS, you can also use the 2nd floor skywalk to Ploenchit Center mall closer to the BTS which would make the walk more tolerable. Nana BTS is 500 m. from the JWM but in the opposite directions in case you want to go to Asok, Phrom Phong, and beyond.
From the corner of the Wittayu there is a walking passage to Central Embassy and Central Chitlom.

Thank you. No, not a blog but heavy input in the Thailand branch when InsideFlyer (Flyertalk) was reasonably navigable! https://insideflyer.com/forums/thailand/
Phloen Chit is pretty much connected all the way to Pratunam. From the PA, once you get to the skywalk turn left and head to Central Embassy - CE is connected to Central Chitlom - CC is connected to Chitlom BTS station (which you have to pay 15 THB to go to the other side) - From there you take the Ratchaprasong Skywalk to GaySorn Mall - Go down to the first floor to the end double doors to GaySorn Village - take the escalator to the 2nd floor where the Ratchaprasong Skywalk resumes and will take you all the way to Pratunam.
Hilton properties in Bangkok are solid especially the Conrad which does have a comped shuttle bus to Phloen Chit BTS Station every 30 minutes.
Ratchaprasong Skywalk at Ratchadamri (now completed) extends from GaySorn Village to Pratunam.
Conrad Shuttle to Ploenchit BTS Station

The extension of the skywalk from Nana BTS to the pedestrian overpass bridge outside the Hyatt Regency has been completed/opened. It means easier access for those going from/to Four Points, as less time on Sukhumvit at grounD level . Not much use, though, for anyway with significant luggage as the stairs are steep.

I always prefer to go to Asok with luggage and exit via Robinsons using the escalator.
So pretty much the lounge benefits of all the 5 stars, the same dining and spa benefits that have been recently announce for Asia, so the biggest differentiator against some of the other properties is the laundry?

Yes, good point.
I guess at some point the skywalk will be extended all the way to Asoke BTS?
The one from Gaysorn up past Big C is great. The tenants at Gaysorn must be pleased as it has brought some life back into the joint ( and presumably sales).

Anyone able to comment on differences in lounge access policy for 2nd guest across the 5-star options? I'm Titanium, and traveling with wife and adult daughter. Don't need to live in the lounge, but if we could minimize extra costs when we do want to use the lounge that would be nice. Leaning to MMQP, but open to suggestions.
Booking one room one a 7-day cert, and it looks like the extra person fee is pretty consistent across all hotels now, so looking for any other difference to decide on.

I'll respond here instead of the dupe question in https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/marr...l#post30865988
The lounge is better at the Marriott Marquis Queen's Park. Much bigger with more food on offer. If that's your defining criteria, then that's the pick for you.
See my review here Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen's Park [Master Thread]

I read your review - thanks! I think I have a good feel for the MMQP because of the property thread. I would like a similar feel for Suk57 but that property thread is not as active, which is why I asked both here and there.
The lounge is not the only factor, but I was hoping it might be an objective one. My sense from reading reviews is that the Suk57 rooftop bar is slightly better and it's in a quieter neighborhood. Also, much smaller property, which might be a plus. However, this is the first visit to Bangkok for us, so I think we'll be happy with the MMQP rooftop (given no reference point) and also fine with either neighborhood. The other possible factor is probability of upgrade. That tips me toward MMQP as well, despite being such a large hotel. I just haven't found a solid consensus on Suk57 upgrades.
In the end, I hope we will be happy with either, but if a little more research now can maximize our chance of an outstanding experience, I'm willing to dig a bit more.
