DoubleTree by Hilton Bangkok Sukhumvit

The DoubleTree sits a few minutes down Sukhumvit Soi 26, an upper-midscale property known locally for its relaxed resort-style pool area — a genuine garden pool rather than a rooftop plunge pool, which is less common than you might expect in this part of Bangkok.

Soi 26 is quieter than Soi 22 or the main Sukhumvit strip, with the K Village and A Square lifestyle malls a short walk further down the soi. The walk to BTS Phrom Phong takes roughly six to ten minutes depending on which entrance you use, and the Emporium complex is at the mouth of the soi.

It suits couples and leisure travellers who want a pool-centred stay at a moderate price, and business travellers who prefer a calmer base than the convention hotels. Rates are generally reasonable for the area, but verify current pricing for your dates.
