In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
The 437 rooms run a modern tropical-Asian look in brown and gold and start at 28 sqm - bigger than the usual airport room, which tends to land around 22-25 sqm. Every room comes with free Wi-Fi, a fridge, an espresso machine, a scale, a deep bathtub and a separate shower. Upper floors look straight onto the DMK runway, so aviation fans will want a high room. Deluxe Twin and King are the main choices, and the Family Room takes 3-4 people.
Food and amenities
You get a big outdoor pool, a 24-hour gym, a spa, currency exchange and a front desk that never closes, plus free 24-hour luggage storage. The in-house restaurant, La Promenade, runs 24 hours serving Thai and international dishes, with a bar on site. The breakfast buffet is included on some rates and runs 6:00-10:00, covering Thai and international food. It all suits travelers on a red-eye who just need a short rest before the next flight.
Location and getting there
The hotel sits right across from Don Mueang airport, 0.82 km away, and a Skybridge feeds directly into the international Terminal 1 so you never step outside. From the lobby across the bridge to check-in runs about 5-7 minutes - the most convenient airport hotel in Thailand, and a feature no other hotel in the area can match.
Things to know before booking
It's the priciest pick here, from about $60 a night, against $14-26 at the nearby hostels. The building opened in 1989 and feels older than newer Bangkok 4-stars, even if it's well kept. And as with most airport hotels, food and drinks inside run expensive, so budget accordingly or use the convenience stores nearby.
Our take
Amari Don Muang fits travelers on late-night or pre-dawn flights, frequent business flyers, families who don't want to risk the run in from the city, and aviation fans who want planes from their window. The way we see it, the Skybridge is the gold medal that makes the 4-star price worth paying. If you're flying out at 4 or 5 AM, or landing at midnight, this is the one answer you don't have to think twice about.
