Phrom Phong—one of the busiest and most stylish neighborhoods in the city—has had a bit of a boom in recent years, including brand new restaurants and the gigantic Emsphere. For tourists and staycationers, DoubleTree Sukhumvit is an impressive, high-end base for all the downtown hurley-burly of Phrom Phong.
You’d be hard-pressed to find a hotter neighborhood in Bangkok at the moment: lively, chic, and dynamic. It’s not just about easy bites and cheap drinks these days. Phrom Phong has some of the hottest live music venues and most fashionable clubs in the city.
Found on Sukhumvit Soi 26, visitors step from the swank shops and charming bar dives into the smooth lines and muted tones of the DoubleTree by Hilton Sukhumvit, right in the heart of the Phrom Phong lifestyle. From here, you can grab your welcome cookie (or two) and hit the town immediately.
Rooms, from their standard King Guest Rooms to the Deluxe Suite, these spaces are smart and practical with plush beds, blackout curtains, and rainforest showers—all reasonably priced.
If you’re more into soaking than sleeping, the 7th-floor is where you’ll find the pool (and the poolside bar) with skyline views. Stop in Mosaic at the pool area for an outdoor lounge and cocktail bar, where you can catch Thai and Western cuisine.
Before you hit Quartier Cineart for an IMAX flick or head up to Tribe Sky Beach Club for a bit of clubbing, you can head down to the retro Dee Lite in the hotel—complete with freestanding juice bar—which has indoor seating for when you want the air con, and outdoor seating for when Bangkok stops raining.
From Michelin star eats to some of the biggest live shows in the country, Phrom Phong’s not done, and this is where you go to see it all.
