I’ve been watching some of your vlogs. I am a fan now 😊. Thank you for good review. We are traveling to Thailand soon. I am. Titanium myself. Which one would you recommend between The Westin or the Marriott Bangkok Marquis? I am traveling with young kid. Also any good Japanese restaurant you would recommend in Bangkok? Thank you!!

You just made my morning; thank you for the comment and being a fan! 😊😍
And thanks for the question too!
I'm going to answer your question, assuming you will be either taking the train system to/from the airport, or taking the BTS frequently during your stay!
Location:
The Westin is just next to the Asok BTS station. It's better to stay on the station level (the same floor where you get out of the ticket gate) and continue the corridor towards the Westin (on the right) and the Sheraton to your left.
The ground level streets have a lot of steps and the drivers are not pedestrian-friendly, like in N. America or Europe.
The walk itself is like 2 mins and very close.
However, the only challenge I see, is there are only stairs leading to the hotel from that corridor.
It's only one flight of stairs, but if you have to hold onto your young one, and bags, it may be a challenge.
You can always try to go through Robinson's, which is a department store next to the hotel, and there is a direct connection to Robinson's from the station corridor.
The Marriott Marquis is at Phrom Phong BTS station, which is the next stop from Asok.
The hotel is about 900m from the station, if you take the longest route.
Depending on the day and time, you can cut through the Benchasiri Park, which should halve the walking time.
I believe the hotel does offer shuttle service to/from one of the malls nearby (not sure if it's the Emporium or EmQuartier side)
I don't know where you are from and whether you are used to walking in the hot weather, but on a sunny day, walking long distance can be a challenge, even if it's 3-400m. Especially with luggage and/or young ones.
Both hotels are elegant in different ways:
Westin has a more simple yet elegant, up-to-date feel.
The Marquis has a grand presence, especially the entrance and lobby areas.
Both provide excellent customer service and the hotels are very clean.
I don't remember if I had a chance to check out the Westin's lounge (I think the lounge was closed due to the pandemic), but I was very impressed with the M Club lounge at the Marquis.
Huge area, with both indoor and outdoor space. Lots of snacks and beverage choices, as well as a good selection of evening appetizers.
Also, the Marquis breakfast at their restaurant downstairs, was amazing! HUGE variety of dishes to choose from, and for a foodie guy like me, that was heavenly.
I wasn't a big fan of either pools, as they were both on the smaller side. The pool itself may be large, but with such a large-scale hotel, it can get quite crowded with guests.
I'd say that the Westin has a more "younger" vibe; they do hold events like the "Pool Party" and attract younger crowds.
At my age (55), I prefer the Marquis, for the ambiance, food, and lounge. It's one hotel that I'd like to go back and "staycation" again someday soon.
On a side note, if you decide to take a cab to get around town:
1. Install the "Grab" app on your phone. It's the Thai-version of "Uber" . Better in terms of language barriers, and fair consistent prices.
2. If you do flag down one on the street, make sure they put the meter down before you start the journey.
3. Avoid rush hour; both hotels are located on Sukhumvit Road and both areas are always very congested.
Sorry for the long reply; hope this helps!!

This is very informative and helpful. Thank you for taking time to explain this. I really appreciate it. I am with you, I prefer a quite place. We booked the Marquis and excited to be there next week.

Have a wonderful stay in Bangkok, and let me know if you have any other questions!!

That tub isn't going to cut it. Don't they know who you are?

[@TravelCoffeeAndy]

I KNOW RIGHT??? 😂.
But in all seriousness, the tubs at the Royal Orchid Sheraton and the Westin are too small and shallow. I didn’t bother taking a bath in those. 😔
