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.

I've been stuck in China for
3 years. I can't wait to visit Thailand, especially as countries like Japan and Morocco launch discriminatory policies to mainlanders. So far Thailand hasn't. Hundreds of millions of Chinese feel same. Prices will be high for CNY for sure.
And as much as I love Hyatt, Marriott properties are far superior in Thailand. Unfortunately high prices are here to stay

ROS
After some back and forth, I booked ROS. I appreciate the old style and class, and like the river view.
When I checked in, I was offered a junior suite. I knew that executive suites were available for sell by checking Marriott app. so I politely asked. The girl called the manager and gave me the suite (lower level though).
The suite has excellent views and is spacious. Breakfast at club lounge has limited varieties. So I went to the first floor restaurant for breakfast which is very good. The attendant asked me to sign a bill of 580B. I thought it's complimentary for platinum and higher elites?
Rate is about 5K per night. Higher than before COVID but still lower than most Marriott Bonvoy hotels in BKK.
Few pictures are attached above.
I'll fly to HK on Monday but will return to BKK over the weekend. I'll try Marriott 57 or Westin.

it is complimentary, IF you choose breakfast instead of points as welcome gift upon arrival.
I always liked the upper floors better, but the suites on the "lower lift" floors have the same nice view and I accept they prefer to give these out now for upgrades. Only drawback is the party boat music in the evenings, but they stop around 10pm.

Lots of talk on prices in this thread, which made me decide to go ahead and book my trip to Bangkok that I had been wanting to take this year (too many good hotels to see) - as a data point, I was able to get a night at each of the following in May for a grand total of around $2416 USD - I'm not sure what prices used to be, but that comes to about $185 USD per night on average, which is one of the cheaper cities I have traveled to so far - of course, I'll continue to monitor pricing and make adjustments when I find decreases (who knows how things will change between now and May?):

1st floor restaurant attendant only asked me to sign 580 B bill one day for breakfast. On other days she just took my room number.

Wow are you checking in and out of a different hotel daily?Appreciate the dedication but it must be tiring (I did something similar but with much fewer hotels to maximize 'stays' during a points promo).
Look forward to hearing about your adventures

BKK is such a nice city. I'd suggest reducing the hotels and spend 2-4 nights in the jewels. That way you can experience the hotels, BKK and see multiple hotels. You can cut half of those easily. Westin ,SGS and 4 are all near each other. Just stay at sgs

Traffic can be bad in BKK - you might be checking in and out and stuck in traffic a lot and miss out on all that BKK offers ... Unless you are collecting hotel stays for fun

Yes, 1 night each - I'm not very high maintenance on packing and unpacking, so it's been doable so far.
My hope is that I've lined them up enough in proximity that I could walk between several and then avoid sitting in traffic except for the main location switches. I'll have a small backpack and normal sized carry on roll-aboard. Perhaps, though, I'm missing something about the lack of walkability? And, yes, it's pretty much collecting hotels for fun :-)

It is pretty mental what you do but then most of us like trying new places! I think it is more mental when people eat hotel food rather than sampling local delights!

The order above is that the order you are staying in them? If so if you swapped a few around you could easily BTS and even walk between some of them…

What's really crazy is that I prefer sampling the local pizzas wherever I am - I already have some lined up in Japan for next week! Hah!

Yes, the order above is my current stay order - with the understanding that the FP is less than optimal (going back to Sukhumvit).
