Bangkok Airport Hotels
1. Novotel Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport
Stars: 4 stars
Rating: 8.3 out of 10
Drive time: Approximately 2 minutes from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (2.1 km or 1 miles)
My tried-and-true recommendation for a Bangkok airport hotel. Room-by-room renovations are underway (the hallways are a bit shabby) but this is THE closest bed you will possibly find to the airport. It’s a little dated but, on a quick overnight layover, I stay here for its unrivalled convenience (truly two minutes door-to-door, with a free shuttle every 15 minutes). If you have a late-night arrival flight and a crack-of-dawn departure, don’t look anywhere else. Got a strange itinerary? Your reservation is for 24 hours from the time of check-in, rather than a strict one-night stay with set times.

Stars: 4 stars
Rating: 8 out of 10
Drive time: Approximately 5 to 10 min from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (5.2 km or 3 miles)
Not as convenient as the Novotel, but you can sometimes find better rates. I’ve never stayed here as I prefer the Novotel’s location (when every minute of sleep counts).
