Location

Gastronomers Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 20 is in the ideal location for you. Sukhumvit Road is the most multicultural strip in Bangkok; whatever cuisine you want to enjoy, you’ll find it there. Sukhumvit Soi 20 is conveniently located 1 km from Korea Town to the west and 1 km from Japan Town to the east. In between, you’ll find plenty of Indian and Middle Eastern options. The main BTS line of Bangkok runs right along Sukhumvit Road, and your hotel is halfway between Asok and Phrom Phong, so take your pick. Shoppers, you have two mega-malls within walking distance of your hotel. Terminal 21 is next to Asok BTS, and Emsphere (the home of the Songkran G-Circuit parties) is only 650 meters away, around a 10-minute walk. The gayborhood of Silom, with its famous Soi 2, the party street, and Soi 4, the bar hop and people watch street are just under 6 km away from the hotel. It’s also only 40 minutes from Suvarnabhumi Airport (if the traffic’s on your side), making it convenient for day or night arrivals and departures.

Style & Design

The beauty of staying at the Novotel brand of hotels is that they share a similar design concept, so if you’ve stayed at one, you feel comfortable staying at another. Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit follows the same design style but with some Thai tweaks, like elephant statues in the lobby and Thai artwork featured throughout the property. Sustainable travel is high on the list for many gay travelers, and you’ll be pleased to know that Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 20 has been officially certified by Green Key since December 2024.

Facilities

City Beach on the 9th floor is your sky-high oasis. Infinity pool from 6am–10pm, sunset vibes, pool bar, and light bites above a glass skylight. Next door, InBalance Fitness keeps it high-tech and open all day. Head up to floor 26 for one of Sukhumvit’s standout sky bars, DJs on Friday & Saturday, city lights, Mediterranean pizzas, and crab mayo bruschetta. Hungry? Food Exchange brings interactive global buffets (don’t miss Saturday’s crab night), PantaRei serves elevated Thai tasting menus, Peshwa delivers refined regional Indian flavours, and GourmetBar nails it with the Epic Burger and cheese boards.

Rooms

Novotel always provides extra means of comfort in their rooms, and at Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit, that comes in the form of day beds and massive windows that let in lots of natural light during the day and sparkling city lights at night. The rooms are contemporary in design with local artwork on the walls. The superior rooms start at 30 sqm, and if that’s not enough space, upgrade to the executive suite at 45 sqm. Speaking of upgrades, as Novotel is an Accor property, why not burn some All points and bump yourself up to the executive floors 23 and up. You’ll also get access to the Executive Sky Lounge on the 25th floor, where you can enjoy non-alcoholic beverages and snacks all day, and evening cocktails and canapes from 5 pm to 7 pm.
