My favorite chained hotels are the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit, the Grand Hyatt Erawan, and the newly opened Marriott Sukhumvit 57.

I would do the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit (great breakfast and the Lavana spa is just around the corner) or the Hyatt (nice set afternoon tea at the Hyatt Tea Room). I also like the location of the St Regis but I haven't stayed there.

We have stayed at Grand Centrepoints Wireless and Rachadamri (multiple times; but not newest T21) and neither has disappointed. Location, value, facilities...all bueno, er, ดีมากๆ.

Got to agree. I've stayed at 4 CPs & they were all great - T21 the 'Belle of the Ball'.

Im going to Bangkok in December and will stay at either Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit (SGS) or the neighbour hotel Sofitel Sukhumvit. Im a platinum member in both Starwood and Accor. Have stayed in both hotels some months ago, but never as a platinum in Starwood. Priceways Sofitel is a little bit cheaper than SGS. In sofitel I have always been upgraded to Club floor with access to lounge and free breakfast. Lounge is great. SGS is starting to show its age (at least the rooms), and the pool area is always full of people. SGS has no lounge that Im aware of. SGS breakfast is great.
Since Im now platinum in Starwood as well, which hotel is recommended?
