About
The Athenee Hotel is a 374-room Luxury Collection hotel on Wireless Road, built on the grounds of the former Kandhavas Palace, once the home of a Thai princess. The hotel leans into that royal history, with palace-inspired suites, Thai art in the public spaces and a formal, old-school style of service that regulars return for.
It suits travelers who want a classic grand hotel in the embassy district, close to shopping but away from the Sukhumvit bustle. Phloen Chit BTS station is a short walk, Central Embassy and Gaysorn Village are about ten minutes on foot, and Polo Fried Chicken and Lumphini Park are both nearby.
Rooms and suites
Rooms and suites are generous by Bangkok standards, and the royal-themed suites draw on the palace story. Club-level guests and suite bookings can use private check-in, which avoids the busy lobby on conference days.
Restaurants and bars
Few Bangkok hotels have as many places to eat. Hashiri is Japanese, The Silk Road is Chinese, The House of Smooth Curry serves Thai curries, and The Allium Bangkok handles contemporary European cooking.
Rain Tree Café is the all-day buffet restaurant, The Bakery sells pastries and cakes, Glaz Bar is the lobby bar, and The View serves drinks and snacks by the pool.
Pool and wellness
The outdoor pool is on the fourth floor, with The View pool bar alongside, and the hotel has a fitness center and spa for after a long flight.
The neighborhood
Wireless Road, Thanon Witthayu in Thai, is lined with embassies and leafy compounds, so the area is greener and calmer than Sukhumvit. The Ploenchit and Chit Lom shopping strip, the Erawan Shrine and centralwOrld are a short ride or a longer walk west along the skywalk.
Getting there
Phloen Chit BTS station is the closest stop on the Sukhumvit Line. From Suvarnabhumi Airport, a taxi takes roughly 30 to 60 minutes depending on traffic; the Airport Rail Link to Phaya Thai, then the BTS, avoids the expressway at rush hour.
Day trips from the hotel
The old city's big sights, the Grand Palace, Wat Pho and Wat Arun, are about 30 minutes away by taxi outside rush hour, or reachable by BTS to Saphan Taksin and the river boat. Closer to home, the Jim Thompson House is a short ride west, and Lumphini Park is a good place for an early-morning walk before the heat builds. The concierge can arrange cars for longer trips, such as the floating markets or Ayutthaya.
Before you book
Check-in is from 3 p.m. and checkout by noon. The hotel is a Marriott Bonvoy property in the Luxury Collection brand. It is a popular venue for weddings and banquets, so ask for a room in a quieter wing if you are staying over a weekend.
