Curated escapes, handpicked by our travel experts.

Trade the traffic for a high-floor hideaway at the 5-star AVANI Sukhumvit Bangkok — a one-night city escape built for travellers who want Bangkok's energy on their doorstep and a calm, contemporary base to return to. You'll settle into a Superior Skyline Room on one of the hotel's higher floors, where floor-to-city views come with all the modern comforts, plus slippers and bathrobes for slow mornings. Choose a king or twin configuration, and make use of the outdoor pool, poolside bar, fitness centre and spa & wellness centre between sightseeing runs. Reception is staffed around the clock, with concierge, luggage storage, currency exchange, laundry and room service on hand whenever you need them. Your stay also includes a daily drink at the Greenhouse Restaurant on the 7th floor — a local beer, a glass of house wine, a juice or a soft drink, however you like to mark the end of a day out. Free Wi-Fi, on-site parking with EV charging and an on-site restaurant and bar round out a short stay that feels far longer than one night.
