Amari Watergate occupies a tower in the Pratunam district, one of Bangkok's most vibrant shopping areas. This 5-star hotel by Onyx Hospitality features 564 rooms and concentrates restaurants, spa and lounge with skyline views on its upper floors.

Why choose Amari Watergate

The property appeals to three profiles: business travelers drawn by nearby conference centers, transit travelers seeking a central base before heading to northern or southern regions, and families who appreciate generous room sizes and outdoor pool. The immediate proximity to Pratunam markets and the BTS Skytrain (Chit Lom station, a 10-minute walk away) makes navigating a city often plagued by traffic considerably easier.

Atmosphere and architecture

The building is a contemporary tower whose expansive windows offer most rooms unobstructed urban views. At ground level, a landscaped area hosts the outdoor pool, creating visual separation from the hustle of New Petchburi Road. Inside, the décor blends international hotel standards with Thai touches (materials, patterns on select furnishings). The atmosphere remains that of an upscale urban hotel: trained service, a continuously busy lobby, dining open across extended hours.

The rooms

The hotel offers 564 rooms across 8 categories: Deluxe, Grand Deluxe, Premier, Executive Club, Corner Suite and Executive (in one or two-bedroom configurations). Room sizes range from 40 to 156 m², placing the property above Bangkok market average in terms of space.

Standard amenities include air conditioning, satellite television, high-speed internet, minibar, work desk, safe and marble bathroom. Select categories feature a separate living area, and guests in Executive and Suite categories enjoy access to the Executive Lounge.
