Essentials

Prince Palace Bangkok is a large hotel with 744 rooms in four towers, set above the Bobae retail complex on Damrongrak Road beside Khlong Mahanak. According to the hotel’s website it opened in 1994, on the site of the old Mahanak Palace, and the lobby is on the 11th floor of Tower A.

It is not in Chinatown and has no rail station at its door. The walk to Pratunam Market is long, so the practical routes are a short taxi ride or the boat from Bobae Market Pier to Pratunam Pier.

Overview

The towers carry different rooms. Superior rooms (35 m2, twin beds) are in Towers B and C, and Deluxe rooms (35 m2, twin beds) are in Tower A. One Bedroom Suites are 50 m2 in Towers B and C. Families have the most choice: a Deluxe Family Bunk Bed room of 45 m2 sleeps four, a 2 Bedroom Family Suite is 58 m2, and a 3 Bedroom Family Suite in Tower D is 96 m2 for six. At the top end are a 68 m2 Executive Suite, a 102 m2 Jacuzzi Suite and an 800 m2 Presidential Suite.

The hotel holds a 4-Star Thailand Tourism Standard for 2026 to 2028 from the Department of Tourism, according to its news page. For a long stay the two-bedroom and three-bedroom suites give separate sleeping rooms, which suits two couples sharing. The lobby is on the 11th floor, so every arrival starts with a lift ride up from the street.

Among the choices in hotels in Chinatown, Pratunam and the old city, this is the one with the most rooms and no rail link at the door.

Tip: Ask which tower your room is in when you book. Tower A holds the lobby and the Deluxe rooms, Towers B and C the Superior rooms, and Tower D the larger family suites, so the tower tells you how far you are from the lobby and the pool.

Food and drink

China Palace

The hotel’s Chinese restaurant, serving Chinese dishes including dim sum and Peking duck, according to the hotel’s website. It is the one to pick for a sit-down group dinner.

Prince Cafe

Amenities

There is a swimming pool on the 11th floor of Tower A and another on the 12th floor of Tower D, according to the hotel’s facilities page.
