Eric and I lived in Bangkok for two years, so when we booked a weekend at the Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park at the end of September 2026, we thought we knew what we were getting into. We hadn’t planned on the rain. It poured for almost our entire stay, parts of the city flooded, and a hotel with seven restaurants and bars, two pools and a lounge on the 27th floor suddenly looked like a very smart choice.
The Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park is a five-star hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 22, a short walk from BTS Phrom Phong and the EM District malls. With 1,388 rooms across two towers, it is one of the largest hotels in Thailand, and nightly rates typically run ฿5,500 to ฿9,000 ($170 to $280).
Our verdict after two nights: it’s an excellent choice for Marriott Bonvoy elites and for anyone who wants a big, full-service hotel in the middle of Sukhumvit. Our Platinum status turned a standard King into a One-Bedroom Suite, and the M Club Lounge staff were some of the best we’ve met anywhere. The food was hit and miss, and with this many rooms, it isn’t the place for a quiet, intimate stay. But, it was the perfect hotel for a weekend in Bangkok during the rainy season.
We booked and paid for two nights, Friday and Saturday, ourselves: ฿11,602.87 ($344.87) in total.

Who Is Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park Best For?
The Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park suits travelers who want a full-service resort atmosphere right in central Sukhumvit and who enjoy having endless amenities under one roof.
We’d send three kinds of travelers here.
Marriott Bonvoy elites. This is a hotel where status pays off. It has a lot of suites, which is likely why our upgrade came through so easily, and the M Club Lounge gives you breakfast, evening drinks and a quiet place to sit above the city. When it’s pouring outside, that’s worth a lot.
Families and groups. Two pools, Benjasiri Park out the back and three malls a few minutes away mean there’s always somewhere to go, even on a wet day.
Travelers who want everything under one roof. Between the restaurants, the gym, the spa and the lounge, you could spend a rainy weekend here without leaving. We didn’t, because we were in Bangkok to eat, but it was nice to know we could.
Who should look elsewhere: if you want a small boutique hotel, a calm lobby or a hotel that connects straight to the Skytrain, this isn’t it. On a busy morning, 1,388 rooms feels like 1,388 rooms.
Where Is the Hotel and How Do You Get There?
The hotel sits midway down Sukhumvit Soi 22, between upscale Phrom Phong to the north and Khlong Toei (with Khlong Toei Market) to the south, and it backs onto Benjasiri Park.
Soi 22 is a typical Bangkok side street: bars, massage shops, tailors and a sidewalk that disappears right when you need it. When we lived in Bangkok, it was also lined with street food vendors. Most of them are gone now. Directly across from the hotel is a 24-hour Lawson, the Japanese convenience store chain, which is handy for snacks and drinks to take back to your room.
Our route to the BTS: officially, BTS Phrom Phong is a 10-minute walk, either up Soi 22 to Sukhumvit Road or through Benjasiri Park. We rarely did either. Instead, we walked a couple of minutes up Soi 22 to EmSphere, whose entrance is on the same side of the street as the hotel, so there’s no road to cross. From inside the mall we picked up the elevated BTS Skywalk to the station and the other EM District malls. In a downpour, that short walk made all the difference, particulalry with the hotel-provided umbrellas.
From the airport: a metered taxi or Grab from Suvarnabhumi (BKK) takes 45 to 60 minutes and costs about ฿400 to ฿600 plus tolls. The hotel’s limousine is about ฿2,000 one way. We arrived from the Courtyard by Marriott Bangkok across town, about 6 km away. In Bangkok traffic it took 30 to 35 minutes and cost ฿328 by Grab.
Driving: self-parking and valet are both free, which is unusual for a Bangkok five-star.
| Coming From | Distance | Time | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) | 36 km via Sirat Expressway | 45 – 60 min | Public taxi / Grab ฿400 – 600 ($12.50 – $19 USD) plus tolls, or hotel limousine ฿2,000 ($62 USD) one way |
| Don Mueang Airport (DMK) | 22 km via Don Muang Tollway | 40 – 60 min | Public taxi / Grab ฿350 – 500 plus tolls, or hotel limousine ฿2,000 one way |
| BTS Phrom Phong | 700 meters via Soi 22 or park shortcut | 8 – 10 min walk | ฿17 – ฿62 THB ($0.50 – $1.80 USD) BTS fare |
| BTS Asok / MRT Sukhumvit | 1.5 km | 20 min walk or short ride | ฿17 – ฿62 THB ($0.50 – $1.80 USD) MRT fare |
| MRT Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre | 1.3 km via Soi 22 south | 15 min walk / 5 min ride | ฿17 – ฿43 THB ($0.50 – $1.25 USD) MRT fare |
What Are the Rooms and Suites Like?
Standard rooms start at 32 square meters, with Deluxe and M Club rooms split between the North and South Towers. We booked a standard King, and at check-in our Bonvoy Platinum status got us upgraded to a One-Bedroom Suite in the South Tower.
The suite was big. It had a separate living room with a large sectional sofa and a small dining table, a walk-through closet between the living room and the bedroom, and a bathroom with a freestanding soaking tub and a separate rain shower. The bathroom has a glass wall facing the bed, so you can see the tub from the bedroom. Couples will like it, and roommates may not.
When we walked in, guest services had decorated the living room with balloons and left a birthday treat on the coffee table. It was my birthday month, and the same thing happened earlier that week at the Courtyard by Marriott Bangkok. In all our years of staying at Marriotts, we’d never had a birthday welcome before, and it was a lovely surprise both times.
Our one real complaint: for all that space, there was only one full set of electrical outlets by the bed. Eric’s side had a single USB port, and since we don’t travel with USB charging bricks, he charged his phone and watch in the living room both nights. We’ve now seen this at the Courtyard Bangkok and at Homm Chura Samui too, so it isn’t just a Marriott thing. When I posted about it in a Marriott Reddit thread, plenty of other travelers had noticed the same thing.
Tower tip: the M Club Lounge (27th floor) and the gym (9th floor) are both in the South Tower. If you have lounge access, ask for a South Tower room so you don’t have to go down to the lobby and cross over every time you want a coffee.
What Is the Food and Drink Like?
For two food writers, the food was the mixed part of the stay. The hotel has seven restaurants and bars, and its breakfast buffet has a big reputation in Bangkok. We had some good bites and some misses. The service, especially in the lounge, was consistently excellent.
Breakfast at Goji Kitchen + Bar
Goji is known for one of the biggest breakfast buffets in Bangkok. Walk-in pricing is ฿1,177 ($34) per adult, and breakfast was included for us with Platinum status. There are live stations for noodle soups, roast meats, Indian curries, dim sum, a Western grill, pastries and fresh juices, plus a very good made-to-order coffee bar.
Big is the word. It took both of us a few minutes just to walk the room and decide what to eat. I went for one of my favorites, wonton noodle soup, which hit the spot. Eric had jok, Thai rice porridge. Jok is supposed to be mild until you season it, but even after doctoring it with condiments, his stayed bland. We both tried ordering Thai omelets. Eric was told his would take 10 minutes and gave up, and mine came out as a Western omelet.
We went down around 8:30 am and left at 9:15, and by then there was a long line to get in. With 1,388 rooms, timing matters. Go early.
The M Club Lounge
Platinum status also got us into the M Club Lounge on the 27th floor of the South Tower. It serves breakfast every morning and an evening happy hour, both with made-to-order items (omelets in the morning, sandwiches in the evening) alongside a Western and Thai buffet.
The food was like Goji’s: fine, but missing something. What made the lounge one of the best we’ve used anywhere was the people. The staff were warm, quick and remembered what we were drinking by the second evening. The wine selection was better than most hotel lounges, and the bartenders made cocktails to order, including some with Thai spirits. With the rain coming down outside, a drink up there with a view over Sukhumvit was a pretty good way to spend an evening.
The Restaurants We Didn’t Get To
With only two nights and so much eating planned around the neighborhood, we skipped the hotel’s other restaurants. Akira Back, a Japanese-Korean restaurant on the 37th floor, and Pagoda, its Cantonese restaurant, both draw locals as well as hotel guests, so book ahead if you go. ABar Rooftop on the 38th floor is known for its gin collection, but in the weather we had, an open-air rooftop wasn’t happening. Next time.
What Facilities and Services Does It Have?
A hotel this size comes with a lot of facilities, though the weather limited how many we could use.
Pools: there are two outdoor pools on the 9th floor. With rain almost the whole weekend, we got as far as finding them. On a dry day, they’d be a welcome break from the city.
Gym: the 24-hour fitness center, also on the 9th floor of the South Tower, is one of the largest we’ve seen in a hotel, with cardio machines, free weights, a squash court and a studio for classes.
Quan Spa: the hotel spa offers traditional Thai massage and other treatments. We didn’t book anything this time.
Meetings and events: the Marquis is one of Bangkok’s big conference hotels, with several ballrooms. If a large event is on, you’ll notice it in the lobby.
The little things: mobile key (a real time-saver in a hotel this big), free parking, and, most useful for us, umbrellas at the door. We borrowed them every time we went out.
What Is the Neighborhood Around the Hotel Like?
The Marquis sits where two very different sides of Bangkok meet. Walk north and you’re in Phrom Phong, one of the city’s most upscale neighborhoods, known for its malls and Japanese restaurants. EmSphere, EmQuartier and Emporium are all within a few minutes, and most of the walk is under cover on the Skywalk.
Benjasiri Park is right behind the hotel, a green break in the middle of Sukhumvit. Although we skipped it this trip, obviously because of the rain.
Head south and things get local fast. Khlong Toei Market, Bangkok’s biggest fresh market, supplies restaurants, street vendors and home cooks across the city. We love it for an early breakfast. The Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre is also to the south, a short taxi or MRT ride away, which is why the hotel is so popular with conference crowds.
The area is safe and easy to explore, even on a first visit to Bangkok. Just watch your step on the sidewalks.
Where to Eat Near the Hotel
Even in the rain, we were there to eat, and the hotel’s location made that easy. Everything below is a short walk or one BTS stop away, and most of it can be reached on the Skywalk.
- Kenzo Suisan (across from EmSphere): on a rainy late afternoon, this Japanese spot was close enough to reach without getting soaked. We settled in with giant highballs and a couple of fried snacks, and watched the rain come down outside. It’s the kind of place we’d go back to on a dry day too.
- Gourmet Eats at EmQuartier: An easy walk along the Skywalk from Phrom Phong. We went looking for our favorite Thai dishes to see whether it’s still as good as we remembered.
- Kub Kao Kub Pla (Siam Paragon): on the rainiest day of the weekend, Saturday, we took the BTS from Phrom Phong to Siam and ate lunch at this Thai restaurant in Siam Paragon. We ordered the salted egg yolk prawns, the crispy rice salad, and crispy pork with an omelet, which is comfort food in the best way. You barely need an umbrella, because the BTS station connects straight into the mall.
- Izakaya Hanako (near Terminal 21): after an afternoon exploring Terminal 21, one BTS stop away at Asok, we grabbed two seats at the counter for highballs and sushi.
What Is There to Do Near the Hotel?
Top Attractions Near Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park
| Attraction | Distance & Location | Getting There | Highlights & What to Expect |
| Benjasiri Park | Adjacent to hotel (Soi 22) | 1-min walk via rear gate | A lush 11-acre green space surrounding a central lake, featuring jogging paths, outdoor art installations, and shaded lawn areas right outside the hotel. |
| The EM District (EmSphere, Emporium, EmQuartier) | 700 meters north | 8–10 min walk or 1 BTS stop | Bangkok’s premier luxury lifestyle trio featuring upscale designer boutiques, world-class international food halls, and the UOB Live entertainment arena. |
| Benjakitti Forest Park | 1.5 km southwest | 15–20 min walk or short taxi | On our list for a drier visit: Benjakitti Forest Park, whose elevated walkway is said to be best at sunrise.” |
| Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre | 1.3 km south | 15 min walk or 1 stop on MRT | Thailand’s premier event space, hosting international expos, art fairs, and corporate conventions with direct pedestrian access to Benjakitti Park. |
| Khlong Toei Market (See our video here) | 1.5 km south | 8–10 min ride via Grab / Taxi | Bangkok’s largest open-air fresh produce market—a raw, bustling, and authentic look at local food culture where top chefs shop daily. |
| Terminal 21 (Asok) | 1.5 km west | 1 BTS stop (Phrom Phong to Asok) | An airport terminal-themed shopping mall famous for its floor-by-floor global city decor and the famously affordable Pier 21 food court. |
| Chatuchak Weekend Market | 12 km north | 25–30 mins via BTS or MRT | One of the world’s largest outdoor weekend markets, housing over 15,000 vendor stalls selling local handicrafts, clothing, street food, and antiques. |
The one most guests miss: Benjakitti Forest Park, the elevated walkway and wetland park behind the convention centre. Go at sunrise, before the heat, and you will have one of the best views in Bangkok with almost no one in it.
Where to Shop Near the Hotel
The EM District is the main draw: three connected malls within a 15-minute walk.
- EmSphere: the newest of the three, with a food hall and a rooftop arena.
- The Emporium and EmQuartier: the established upscale pair at Phrom Phong, with department stores, cinemas and large food halls.
- Terminal 21: transport themed mid-range shopping at Asok, one BTS stop away, with a famously cheap food court. Each of the floors is themed in a different city, and it is airplane themed so Eric liked that. Kitsch, but fun.
- Khlong Toei Market: not shopping in the mall sense, but the best place nearby to see how Bangkok actually buys food.
- Siam Paragon and Central World: Our two favorite shopping malls, particularly Siam Paragon for food, are only a few stops on the BTS from the Bangkok Marriott Marquis.
Getting Around from the Hotel
The Bangkok Marriott Marquis is very centrally located, and it benefits from being on both the BTS and MRT transit lines.
- BTS: Phrom Phong on the Sukhumvit Line, about ten minutes’ walk. Fares run roughly THB 17 to 62.
- MRT: Sukhumvit station at Asok, and Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre to the south. Makes it easy to access Bangkok Chinatown on the MRT.
- Taxis, Grab and Bolt: widely available, although we tend to use Grab the most in Thailand. The one downside is traffic on Suhkumvit can slow to a crawl, so the BTS is a better alternative.
- Motorbike taxis: the orange-vested riders at the mouth of Soi 22 will run you to the BTS for a small fee. Fast, and not for everyone. We don’t generally use the motorbike taxis because there are two of us.
What Does It Cost to Stay Here?
We paid ฿11,602.87 ($344.87) for a standard King on a Friday and Saturday night at the end of September 2026, about ฿5,800 ($172) a night. We spent most of that week at the Courtyard by Marriott Bangkok, partly because weekday rates at the Marquis were noticeably higher. If your dates are flexible, check weekends.
Hotel food, drinks and spa services add 17% for service charge and VAT, so budget for that on any price you’re quoted.
| Item | Cost (THB) | Approx. USD |
|---|---|---|
| Our stay: standard King, 2 weekend nights | ฿11,602.87 total | $344.87 |
| Typical nightly rate | ฿5,500 – ฿9,000 | $170 – $280 |
| Goji breakfast buffet (walk-in) | ฿1,177 per person | $34 |
| Taxi or Grab from Suvarnabhumi Airport | ฿400 – ฿600 plus tolls | $12 – $18 |
| Grab from Courtyard by Marriott Bangkok | ฿328 | $10 |
How Does It Compare to Nearby Competitors?
We are Marriott people so picking a hotel in Bangkok is a little bit easier, despite there being 30 properties to choose from. Comparing the Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park against neighboring five-star options helps highlight whether its massive scale fits your travel style. And while we enjoyed our stay, it is a massive hotel and might not be what you are looking for.
While smaller Sukhumvit properties often trade room inventory for direct Skytrain access or boutique privacy, the Marquis stands out for its sheer volume of dining options and extensive resort-style amenities. Evaluating nightly rates, transit convenience, and elite perks side-by-side reveals where this property delivers maximum value for your stay.
We have stayed at the Sheraton Grande and Westin Grande during past trips, a lifetime ago. We also used to stay at the Aloft on Sukhumvit Soi 11, but we are too old now to stay on Soi 11.
| Hotel Property | Nightly Rate (THB) | Total Rooms | Nearest BTS Station | Standout Feature |
| Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park | ฿5,500 – ฿9,000 | 1,388 | Phrom Phong (10 min) | 7 dining venues, 2 pools, top-tier Bonvoy lounge |
| Hyatt Regency Bangkok Sukhumvit | ฿6,200 – ฿9,500 | 273 | Nana (Direct skywalk) | Direct skywalk bridge to BTS, modern club lounge |
| Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit | ฿7,000 – ฿11,000 | 420 | Asok (Direct skywalk) | Tropical lagoon pool, direct BTS/MRT skywalk access |
What We Liked and What We Didn’t
No hotel is perfect, and the things that bothered us were small. None of them got in the way of a great weekend.
What We Liked
The welcome: check-in was as friendly as it gets. Best, the young woman at the front desk, took great care of us, gave us tips on where to eat nearby and was a pleasure to talk to. Then we walked into a suite upgrade and a birthday surprise.
The M Club Lounge team: one of the best lounges we’ve ever used, because of the people. Warm, quick, and they remembered our drinks. The wine list and made-to-order cocktails with Thai spirits were a bonus.
The location, even in the rain: a couple of minutes to EmSphere, then the Skywalk to everything else. Between that and the hotel umbrellas, we got around a flooding city without getting soaked.
The suite: spacious, comfortable and a welcome place to come back to on a wet weekend.
What We Didn’t
Breakfast at peak times: Goji is a victim of its own popularity. Some dishes were great, others missed, and made-to-order items like Thai omelets were hard to get at the busiest time. By 9:15 am there was a long line. Our tip: go before 8:30, or have breakfast in the M Club Lounge if you have access.
Bedside outlets: only one side of the bed had full outlets, so Eric charged his phone in the living room. We’ve seen this at several hotels lately, not just here. Pack a USB charging brick.
The sidewalks on Soi 22: that’s Bangkok, not the hotel, and the EmSphere route mostly avoids them.
Is Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park Worth It?
Yes, especially if you have Marriott Bonvoy status. For about ฿5,800 a night on a weekend, we got a suite, one of the best lounge teams we’ve met anywhere, and a location that kept a rainy weekend fun.
The Marquis handles its size well. Check-in was warm and personal, the lounge felt like a small hotel within a big one, and the EmSphere shortcut put the whole Phrom Phong neighborhood a few minutes away. The breakfast buffet is busy, so plan around it, and this isn’t the place for a quiet boutique stay. If you want a full-service hotel in the heart of Sukhumvit, it’s an easy recommendation.
Would we stay again? Yes, and next time we’re hoping for dry weather and a drink at ABar.
Practical Tips for Staying Here
- Ask which tower you are in at booking. North and South affect your views and your walk to the lounge, pool and gym.
- Go to Goji for breakfast early. 1,388 rooms is a lot of people. Plus, it’s popular for Bangkok locals to go on the weekends as well. Get up and get down to Goji before the wait starts.
- Take a public taxi or Grab from the airport. The limousine costs three to four times the metered fare.
- Book Akira Back and Pagoda in advance. Both draw local diners, not just hotel guests.
- Go to Khlong Toei Market early. It is close and it is the best food experience within a short ride.
- Budget for service charge and VAT on every food and drink price you are quoted.
