We will be in Bangkok middle of April for three nights. Looking at these hotels as we can get a good corporate rate. Which one do you recommend for best location to shopping, sights etc....we have a 9 year old son, so will also want to use hotel pool for part of the day. Our choices are:

-JW Marriott Bangkok
-Four Seasons
-Grand Hyatt Erawan

All three are lovely hotels. I have not stayed at any of the three, but would opt for Four Seasons or Hyatt. Location of the JW is not quite so handy, IMO.

Hotels in Bangkok, in general, are excellent, and are relatively great values compared to most of the world's major cities. The Four Seasons is fantastic, and the Grand Hyatt Erawan is not far behind. You may also want to consider staying by the river at the Mandarin Oriental or The Peninsula; both extraordinary hotels, though the Mandarin can be too formal and stuffy for some. If, as you say, you have a great rate at The Four Seasons, you should probably take advantage of it.

For area closest to shopping of the three choices you mentioned, the Grand Hyatt Erawan (GHE) is the one to go with. GHE is connected to CentralWorld and Siam Paragon shopping malls by a pedestrian bridge which also connects to Chitlom BTS station for easy access to all points of interest in Bangkok. The GHE is a great property with a lovely pool. Although most of our stays were with the JWM (120 nights in the past few years), we have had 3 stays at the GHE since we had the kids.

Out of the three hotels, and if you can get comparable rates for all of them, I would go with the Four Seasons. Best service, amenities, restaurant and a sky train station right outside. Second choice would be the Grand Hyatt.

booking.com honest recent reviews www.fourseasons.com for me

A cut above. JW has the best deals suites for me there free rooms marriott.com points just picked 70000 with first use of their no foreign fee chase.com Visa CC. That is a deal the only thing better than cheap is free.

I really liked the 4S and found the service to be fabulous. I got a REALLY good preferred partner rate ( and no need to pay up front) at whatahotel.com it's close to 2 sky train stations and has a wonderful breakfast buffet and a really good Italian restaurant ( incase you are tiring of Thai food )

I'd agree with the opinions above, if you are getting a good rate - the Four Seasons wins hands down among the three. Fabulous service. A good second choice would be the Grand Hyatt Erawan.

the jw marriott pool is very small and might disappoint your child and you..

all are in excellent locations..

would you consider the anantara riverside---former marriott? best pool in town and on the river.
