As its name suggests, Best Western @ 20 is located towards the middle of the uptown stretch of Sukhumvit Road on Soi 20.

The location also benefits from a nearby park, the upscale Emporium shopping mall and a lively leisure and entertainment scene.

โ€œBangkok is an amazing city that attracts people with a diverse range of needs. Every traveler finds excitement and pleasure, whether business or leisure-wise,โ€ related Glenn de Souza, vice president International Operations โ€“ Asia for Best Western International. โ€œBut with traveler profiles constantly evolving, there remains a shortage of accommodation that fits the modern globe-trotter mentality,โ€ the executive added. โ€œThese two new hotels will go some way to redressing that imbalance by giving more international visitors the option of choosing to stay at Best Western on the basis of its consistent international standards and ideal locations.โ€

The two new hotels are owned by a Bangkok-based consortium with Best Western providing the management and marketing. A spokesman for the consortium asserted that, โ€œWe are proud to join the worldโ€™s largest hotel chain and are confident that Best Western can assist us with greater revenue with its world-wide reservations and Global Sales and Marketing network.โ€

Growing mass-transit rail links have made getting around the city much easier than previously, enabling an overall experience that is more diversified and richer than ever.
