Shemp, the only thing wrong with staying at one of the River 5 star plus hotels IMHO is location location location. It's a long way from Nana in both time and logistics, so if you really want to stay at the Peninsula, which is a really great hotel, BTW, or the Mandarin Oriental, another excellent hotel then I would suggest that you target Patpong instead of Sukhumvit. Or another option that I would consider only at the top, top hotels would be to speak with the Peninsula or Mandarin Oriental concierge and have him send up a girl. The results might be interesting. Please report back if you try this option. 555
P.S. On my 1st trip to BKK I stayed at the Oriental with my then American fiance. It was just the Oriental Hotel back then. The engagement thing was her idea, not mine. We had a fight one night and I left her to sulk in the hotel rooom while I went out to Patpong and had my 1st taste of Thai. It felt good. Then at least 15 years later I stayed for a few nights at the Peninsula Hotel across the river. The Pen had just opened for business and I got an unbelievable, soft opeining, too good to refuse rate of $125/night including buffet breakfast for two.
Of course, there are some really excellent 5-star hotels much closer to the action that you might want to consider. Let's see: There is the Sukhothai, the St. Regis, the Siam Kempinski, the Park Hyatt, and the Sheraton Sukhumvit to name just a few. OK, the Sheraton might be 1/4 star below the rest, but you can't fucking beat its location.
I say do whatever turns you on.

Posts: 141Citadines soi 11.
Stayed here earlier this week. Very nicely equipped rooms. Had a small exec suite on 8th floor. Couch, sliding room partition, small well furnished kitchen.
No problems (as previously mentioned) with girls coming up. Just leave an ID at reception. When girl arrives, reception calls you to confirm and then gives her access to the lift, which otherwise requires door keycard to function. Call again to check all ok when she's leaving. Good bed, and fairly soundproof rooms. There's an attached hotel, street facing bar next to entrance, possibly convenient for meeting to screen if booked online etc.

"Easy access to surrounding commercial buildings, as well as through the hotel's direct skybridge to BTS Sky Train Nana station."

Posts: 188Hotels on the river.
I was thinking of going big on my once in a lifetime trip to Bangkok & staying at a 5 star on the river. Anybody had any experience staying at the Peninsula or the Shangri-La, & would I be able to bring dates to the hotel? How far are these hotels from the Soi Cowboy / Nana areas?

However, there isn't much of a skywalk there, just the bts station. So anyone coming from the Hyatt Regency or the Q House isn't really going to be able to use that elevated platform as a pathway to and from Nana Entertainment Plaza or anywhere else in the opposite direction. Not unless the government extends the skywalk to take pedestrians all the way to Soi 4 or back to Asok or wherever. That particular station, Nana, is kind of an island unto itself for now and not connected to any other stations via a skywalk. As a "skywalk" it is only useful for getting you across Sukhumvit Road without waiting for a break in the traffic or just to access Nana bts station.
In terms of crowd avoidance and shelter from rain and punishing sunlight, it would be great if they extended the skywalk to stretch uninterrupted from EmQuartier/Emporium at one end to MBK at the other, I'd say the most dense shopping and entertainment venue stretch in Bangkok. And it wouldn't be that big a project to make that happen except for where the expressway blocks almost any reasonable or practical skywalk type option just past Soi 4. Ok, so we'd be forced to come down off the skywalk at Soi 4 and then be able to resume the journey via skywalk at Ploen Chit on the other side of the expressway. I would probably want to come down off the skywalk right about there most of the time anyway, even if just for a few minutes. lol. But I don't know of any real plan for them to do that.

Posts: 381Hyatt Regency Opening This Year
Another Hyatt hotel is opening this year (3rd Quarter), the Regency in Soi 13. According to their website they will have direct access to Nana BTS, so it will be an easy stroll to NEP. No prices on the website yet.
