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 gotten nice upgrades at both.
Suk57 has one of the best rooftop bars in Bangkok. MMQP has a decent rooftop bar but nowhere near as cool.
MMQP has one of the best lounges. Suk57 has a meh lounge. It's got the free booze and I guess some views, but it's small and feels crowded and the food wasn't impressive.
MMQP is much bigger. It didn't bother me much because I didn't spend much time in crowded common areas, just room, rooftop bar, and lounge.
Both have good locations. Suk57 is marginally closer to BTS. MMQP is a 8min walk across the park when open (until 9pm), and 12min around the other way on the street otherwise.
Both restaurant breakfasts are… fine. What you'd expect out of a full service hotel in Asia.

Which Marriott Bangkok hotel should I choose?
Hello,
It will be my 4th time in BKK. I'm a Marriott gold member.
I booked the Aloft Sukhumwit for a change (never visited that part of the city) since it's 100k points for 5 nights but now I'm second-guessing this choice as I read that I could get access to the M Club for free snacks/drinks for the same amount of points.
1) Is that correct to say that the gold status give you free access to the drink/snacks at M Club?
2) which BKK in this price range would have this type of lounge included with the gold status?
Thank you!

For what it is just worth I just stayed at Aloft Sukhumvit soi 11 last month and had a great stay. The staff were very accommodating and I really liked the decor as well as the liveliness of soi 11. That being said I can understand it is not everyone's scene.
Definitely check out Daniel Thaiger and above 11 rooftop bar just up the street.

Alternate hotel to SGS?
The SGS has been my go-to hotel for my trips to Bangkok. The GM does a great job running this property. However I'm curious about trying someplace different. There are several newer Bonvoy hotels in BKK that i'd like to try. The main 2 features I like about SGS are the Platinum benefit of taking the execllent breakfast in the main restaurant. Also the evening cocktail options in various venues is a great benefit. I don't like being confined to a club lounge that usually has very limited offerings.
Are there any other properties in Bangkok that have the similar or better breakfast and cocktail offerings like the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit? Location in the city isn't a major factor. Thanks for any insight you can share.

The Athenee (former LRM Plaza Athenee) has a lounge with nice cocktails (and decent snacks at happy hour). When I stayed, breakfast was downstairsa in the restaurant: a big buffet but not particularly elegant. The pool area is very attractive. I found the location convenient but not in the middle of the crazy nightlife.
If you return to a city, it can be nice to stay in different neighborhoods, but it's also nice to have a second home, especially if yo come frequently for business.

Of the alternatives on the SPG side if you ignore the location I’d be tempted to recommend the Le Meridien (I really dislike the neighbourhood). The Suites are gorgeous and I really liked the breakfast.

I’m at the SGS at the moment and it remains my absolute favourite. You scratch the slightly dated luxury hard product and there’s nothing but quality underneath. It is though one of those hotels you appreciate the more you come back to it.

I agree. SGS is my Bangkok home; and, IMO, no other property comes close. That said, I also like LM. The breakfast selection isn't nearly as large as that of SGS. If you're looking for a non-club happy hour, LM Happy Hour drinks are at the Bamboo Chic Bar on the fourth floor. It's a regular bar with bartender and wait-person service.

Just scored a BRG at MMQP at USD82 per night. As Bonvoy Titanium, what is to be expected in terms of upgrades? Stayed there last year as a Platinum and was upgraded to one of the suites, however breakfast was in lounge.
