W22 by Burasari is a 3-star lifestyle hotel located in Chinatown, one of Bangkok's most vibrant neighborhoods. With 123 rooms arranged around a central atrium inspired by traditional Chinese courtyards, it offers accessible urban comfort just steps away from the Yaowarat markets and temples of old Bangkok.

Why stay at W22 by Burasari

• A location in Chinatown, ideal for exploring Bangkok on foot or by boat via the Chao Phraya
• A central atrium with fountain and regular art exhibitions, serving as a shared gathering space
• Practical amenities for extended stays: equipped shared kitchen, laundry facilities, free parking
• A 3-star rating with a more refined design approach than most accommodations in the neighborhood

Architecture and atmosphere

The façade combines concrete, glass, and metal, with large bay windows that flood the common areas with light. Inside, the tone is understated: soft lighting, wooden furniture, leather sofas, and traditional Chinese touches in the décor, notably ceramics displayed throughout the circulation spaces.

The heart of the hotel is its atrium, crossed by a fountain and inspired by classical Chinese interior courtyards. The space regularly hosts art exhibitions and serves equally well for reading a book during the day or enjoying a drink in the late afternoon.

The rooms

The 123 rooms feature a pared-down, minimalist design. Large windows overlook either the interior courtyard or the neighborhood streets, lined with shophouses and temples. The furnishings blend wood and metal, with open wardrobe, safe, television, and air conditioning. Bathrooms are private.

• Taxi or hotel shuttle: the most direct solution
• Public transport: Airport Rail Link to Phaya Thai station, then connection to the MRT at Hua Lamphong (the station closest to Chinatown), finish by taxi or on foot
• Boat: from the Chao Phraya piers, Chinatown is easily connected to the main tourist sites

What to see around the hotel

Chinatown concentrates a rare density of markets, temples, and street food addresses. In the immediate vicinity:

• Wat Traimit: houses a solid gold Buddha weighing over 5 tons
• Sampeng Market: shopping alleys specializing in textiles and accessories
• Talat Noi: a photogenic heritage neighborhood along the river
• Pak Khlong Talat: the flower market, accessible on foot
