Marriott Bonvoy hotels in Bangkok, Thailand

Last edit by: rxgeek
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 Queens 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.

Other than a way to walk a couple blocks without rain and heat/humidity, I would agree. I'll occasionally walk through one in Bangkok just for a few minutes of air conditioning.

Sorry, not yet too familiar with the common acronyms on here. Searched the wiki of this thread, but no mention of ROS, closest is REN.

So, ROS = not a Marriott property right? But then, nowadays all is Marriott, so from this perspective ...
Yes, ROS = Royal Orchid Sheraton. Like all Sheraton hotels, it's now part of Marriott.

Ha! And I don't understand the fascination with BarSu by some either!

No, seriously, I am not a mall loving person either. But consider the culinary experience to be had at this megamall - the ground floor is split between Thai traditional and street type food and quality Japanese foodcourt. No reason to visit Japan as all is here with the same quality and lower prices. ICONSIAM currently opened up to the 6th floor with many high end dining options on its 6the floor in a huge balcony with 180 degrees of uninterrupted amazing views of the river and its traffic. Comped river shuttle to this mall from many piers on the Bangkok side including the pier next to the ROS.

if I wanted to visit again, Id choose a river hotel.
The ROS boat now drops off at ICONSIAM enroute to Thaksin Pier /BTS , in addition to the shuttles from Siphya Pier mentioned by Kalboz. In fact the other day the ROS boat was FULL ( the first time Ive ever seen that) and everyone bar 2 of us got off at the mall...so it would seem that many people are attracted by it. I hope it doesnt drive up rates at the ROS

That looks to be taken from Iconsiam, so a pan to the left would show the ROS almost directly across the river.

Sorry I did not caption it - this was taken from the executive lounge at the adjacent Millennium Hilton on the 31st floor. Here is another from the same spot and this is using my iPhone:

Yes, you could be right; maybe from Milennium Hilton.

Here is another view to show location perspective of the concerned hotels to the ICONSIAM. Twin skyscrapers behind the Hilton in this photo are the unfinished Mandrin Orient Residences which are part of the grand scheme of ICONSIAM and attached to it.

A make shift lounge was started at the MMQP's 4th floor private pool area on December 24th and it will be around until January 2, 2019 to relieve the main one for the 300+ guests with lounge access at this time. I was hesitant to attend their happy hour today and wanted to stay at the 27th floor location. But finally decided to go down and experience the place. WOW! Although they served the same grub, the service and the ambiance were great. They served around 100 guests at that location and due to its huge size, did not have to bump into people while serving my food from the buffet. This is by far the best lounge food in Marriott Thailand system if not in the worldwide Marriott system. The spread to night consisted of grilled river prawns, beef kebabs, hamburger sliders & fries, soups & salads, breads & cheeses, and fruits & desserts.






Yours truly's plates which was a full dinner!

If you are talking about the offerings, the menu remains the same. The chef informed me yesterday that they have 8 rotating menus at the M-Club lounge. So, hope you encounter yesterday's menu during your stay. As for the 4th floor venue, you will have to wait until next year!

Are you still at the property btw? I am in MClub now, but leaving in an hour or so.
