Another addition to Marriott’s expanding portfolio of executive serviced apartments.
In December of 2009 I spent a couple of nights at the newly opened Sukhumvit Park Bangkok, Marriott Executive Apartments. After finally opening on October 23rd after a number of delays, Sukhumvit Park is the third executive serviced apartments in Bangkok after the Mayfair Marriott on Soi Lang Suan and Sathorn Vista, which opened early in 2009 on South Sathorn Road.
Located on Soi 24, which is a road that runs between Sukhumvit Road, a major thoroughfare in Bangkok and Rama IX Road, the new Marriott is in a prime location for both business travelers and tourists. While it is possible to walk to Sukhumvit Road in under 10 minutes, the hotel provides a complimentary tuk-tuk to shuttle guests whenever needed. There is no schedule for the shuttle tuk-tuk, just ask at the front desk. On Sukhumvit Road at the end of Soi 24 there is there upscale Emporium shopping complex and a BTS Skytrain Phrom Phong station.
