Embassy of the United States

Modern hotel with a rooftop Infinity Pool with a good view of Bangkok's skyline. Got a ticket for a welcome drink which was nice. We booked two rooms which were joining rooms which was nice. They only accept cash deposits and don't give it back to you until they inspect the rooms before you leave. The inspection actually discovered my daughter leaving her Apple charger and cord there so actually helpful. Room's AC was powerful and made the room a bit cold even when I raised it up to 26 celcius. Ari is quite a bit different from Sukhumvit as it feels more local than touristy. But if you look for the trendy cafes, they are there in Ari although they are way more expensive than typical Thai stores. I would stay at the Ari again if I wanted to stay in that neighborhood.

I stayed there for one night due to a one day layover at BKK. For a short stay this hotel is perfect. The transfer to and from the hotel, from BKK was convenient and punctual. The staff at check-in was very friendly, efficient and welcoming. The room was clean, though the lighting in the bathroom is a bit dim and the bathroom could use a refresh, it was ok and nothing that would keep me from staying here on my next flight thru Bangkok. All in all I would recommend this hotel for anyone needing a relatively short stay near BKK. I didn’t use the pool and resort facilities, though they did look inviting. I noticed many families with children enjoying the pool. Heartily recommended.
