Official star rating:
Sandwiched between a big international hospital and a hum-ho stretch of Sukhumvit Road, Ad Lib’s location might not have a lot going for it. Yet, this savvy boutique hotel masterfully turned its plot at the dead end of a residential cul-de-sac into an oasis of lush greenery and contemporary design.
Shaded by banyan trees, its 58 rooms are snug but comfortable and come with a handy smartphone to take around town.
Guests can also use the complimentary shuttle service to reach the Phloen Chit BTS Skytrain station, while a dip in the gorgeous saltwater rooftop pool is a welcome treat after a day in the Thai sun.
The Ad Lib manages to be right at the heart of the city – a stone’s throw from Sukhumit, one of the city’s busiest and most traffic-congested roads – and still maintain a feeling of calm and quiet.
The street on which the hotel is located is a little unprepossessing, edged with low-rise houses and apartment blocks, with the Burmungrad hospital right next door.
The immediate surroundings aren’t a huge consideration, however, as the hotel has a complimentary shuttle service that whisks you to the BTS Skytrain station in mere minutes.
