Fodor's Expert Review Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit

250 Sukhumvit Rd., Bangkok, Bangkok, 10110, Thailand

The Sheraton soars 33 floors above the noisy city streets, and the upper-floor suites get tons of natural light. Standard rooms are formulaic—don't expect any Thai-influenced accoutrements—but they're comfortable and pleasant. In the afternoon you can enjoy tea or cocktails in The Living Room, a large, open-plan lounge that hosts some of the world's top jazz musicians at night. On the third floor, the health club and the serpentine swimming pool are in a lovely garden. A covered walkway connects the hotel and the Asok Skytrain station, and the Sukhumvit subway station is next door. This is a favorite hotel for visiting international film crews and actors as well as musicians.
