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.

Depends what you are planning to do and see. The Marriott 57 is right around the corner from the Thonglor area which has an ever expanding number of restaurants, pubs, wine bars, boutiques- it is quite the happening area in Bangkok at the moment. I don't think 57 is that far out of the way at all if you are comfortable using the BTS- in fact if not in Bangkok for business I would suggest this is the most interesting Marriott to stay at currently. Hyatt is well covered over in the thread- Grand Hyatt Bangkok is also an excellent hotel with high quality service.
Seems quieter and less hectic is preferred. Will do one night at GHE.
Now to figure out the BTS route from the airport to S57 and hope for a LARGE upgrade

The BTS doesn't go to the airport. One could take the train to Phaya Thai and transfer to the BTS Suk line. With mutiple people and a notable amount of luggage, a cab likely makes the most sense if 'less hectic is preferred' still applies. I usually take the train/BTS, though. Even if a large upgrade doesn't come through, the breakfast will be lovely.

just to close the loop
We're booked(for now*) for 2 nights at S57 and 1 night at REN(maybe Gold will get us an upgrade to small suite).
Will report back.
*the GHE is still a bit of a temptation

From the airport you won't have a problem, but once you're in the city the cab drivers are mostly from the provinces and sometimes get confused.

I hesitate to get this thread hyper-involved in transport topics. The City Line connects to the BTS at Phaya Thai. The Express ends at Makussan and has ill-planned public transit links. Cab prices vary depending upon whether one uses the stand at arrivals, grabs a cab at departures (and uses the meter or negotiates), uses freeways and pays tolls or not. Other FT forums will have more complete info.

Just a heads up: I stayed in the Bangkok Ren last night. While this is one of my favorite hotels, the construction next door starts at 7:30 am, even on Sunday. The noise is noticeable, but not ear shattering. If you are a light sleeper and want to sleep in, you might want to avoid this hotel for right now.
I'm at the FS now. At first blush it's a very nice hotel, although I do prefer the JW/Ren/CY location. Maybe I'll change my mind during the week. Will post more later. If anyone wants to know anything about this hotel, let me know and I can ask. I was upgraded to a high floor two room suite. It appears almost half the rooms are these suites. The CL is very nice, like the Ren, but not at the same level as the spectacular JW.
My hotel split was unintentional. On my ATL-ICN leg, I realized my flight got into BKK on Sat, not Sun, and I didn't have a hotel reservation. There is no WiFi on the A380, so I panicked until we landed. During the one hour layover, I quickly ran to the Prestige Lounge and took the first thing that popped up on the Marriott site. The FS was not available for the extra night. I guess that's why one shouldn't decide to go to Asia on one day's notice.

Confirmed on both. The FS CL allows kids <12 yo from 9-5 only. Families with >12 children are given free breakfast in the 57th Street Restaurant. Without kids, there is a 20% discount for breakfast in the restaurant.
