The hotel is a home away from home for leisure and business guests, just five minutes from contemporary shopping centres within the vibrant Central Business District of Bangkok.
Wyndham Garden Sukhumvit 42 sits in the heart of Ekkamai, known for its lively collection of popular cafés, bars and restaurants and just 300m from Ekkamai BTS station and five minutes from the Ramindra-Art-Narong Expressway.

THPT Comment: Kew Green, started in the UK, as a hotel management company, was sold to Chinese, HK CTS Metropark Hotels in August 2015, for around US$620m by the then owners, Goldman Sachs and TPG Special Situations. They now own and operate 55 plus hotels in the UK…so logical move to open up in Asia.
