Where to stay in Bangkok: Hotel Indigo Wireless Rd

A hotel that has connections to the past, the Hotel Indigo Bangkok Wireless Road is like a step back in time mixed in with modern influence. They are very proud of the history of the road, with old-school radios and technology everywhere (you will have to ask the staff about the story) you admire the class and architecture of the building as you stroll through the entrance.

Situated in a super convenient location, Indigo is right near the Metro system, main roads, embassies (20 on the same street), coffee shops, local hawker food, and bakeries, all a short walk from the hotel. The Indigo is approximately 30-40 mins from BKK, the main international airport

Rooms at Hotel Indigo Bangkok Wireless Road

Hotel Indigo has 192 stylish rooms & suites featuring stunning views of downtown Bangkok. The room we stayed in is a King Premium City View Balcony Room. As the name suggests, it faces the city, with neighbourhood views through floor-to-ceiling windows all around, and can best be described as a “mini” Manhattan and is full of life and energy. The room has a balcony, seating, and is great for a morning coffee and some people-watching. One of the highlights of the room is the bathtub facing the city, which is great to relax, chill and people-watch while bathing. One of the unique features of the hotel is that every floor of the hotel pays homage to the community with art pieces and artworks scattered all over the walls which makes every floor visit unique.

Facilities at Hotel Indigo Bangkok Wireless Road

The gym, located on the 24th floor and next to the pool, is open 24 hours. It is small but has all the basic machines that you need for a quick workout to burn off all those cocktails you certainly would have been drinking. Wooden floors mean you will not throw weights around, but there are treadmills and heavy enough machine-based weights to get that sweat on before jumping in the pool. 

Next up is the infinity pool with a cracker view of the city. With deckchairs in the shade and also outside, the pool area is a great place to read a book or get a tan. With a city view, you will be entertained watching the world go by. If you are thirsty, after lunch there are bar staff to come and serve some delicious cocktails.
