PRICE:
Frommer's Exceptional

Across the street from the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit, the much-renamed and renovated Westin begins on the seventh floor, above Robinson's department store. It's a more affordable choice, but perhaps not as posh as its sister property, with decent-size rooms and passable dining but no great views or glamour peeking through its urbane decor. The hotel's business services are of good standard, and the Club Floor rooms offer a few more benefits such as Wi-Fi. Though it has nothing superior to that offered by its glamorous neighbor, the location of the Westin, plus its prices, gives it the edge for tourists who'd rather save their dollars for shopping. BTS and MRT access at the nearby Asok intersection means that the city is at your disposal, and unlike the guests at Sheraton, you don't have to hike over a smog-filled overpass to get here.
