no, the Holiday Inn Express at the end of Soi 11 is definitely in the Holiday Inn family. The hotel is only 2 years old. holidayinn.com

That's the one I'm considering.

Friends ... I have a few Loyalty points on SPG as well as IHG. Was planning two nights in Bangkok beginning of the trip and two nights at the end. Based on inputs I got here I'll either go for Aloft or Four Points for two nights at the start. For the last two nights is Holiday Inn Express a good option? Like, is it near to SC or NEP? Is it Guest Friendly? Is the areas safe and ok?

Didn't find any thread on this hotel hence checking. If you know there's info already out there please share the link

I just got you an extra night in BKK, you owe me a beer :D

You bet. The beers on me if we get to meet when I'm in town July first week.????????

Next BTS station along is Patpong so not too far for some mongering.

I just looked and it seems Courtyard by Marriott for 2 nights is 40,000 points.

Converting that to SPG is 3 to 1 so 13,333 SPG points and that can get 3 nights during the week at aLoft (4000 per night) or 3 nights over a weekend (10,000) and some points left over.

 

You could also purchase 10,000 Marriott points for $125 USD and stay at Renaissance but my pick would be convert points and stay at aLoft.

aLoft is not my favourite of the SPG properties I have stayed at due to hard bed and musty smelly rooms at times but location is good within Soi 11.

???? ... that never struck me. Thanks mate. That sounds like a cool thing to do. Thanks again.

It is near Ratchadamri BTS so quite far from Nana.

For around the same price you could stay at aLoft in Soi 11 or Four Points in Soi 15.

 

The Renaissance next to Chit Lom BTS is very nice but more expensive.

Guessed so ... was actually planning to use Mariott points. I just have enough points left for two nights in a Cat4 or below Mariott property. Other Mariott hotels in BKK are Cat5+

But going by what you're saying doesn't look it's not near to any of the mongering havens.

How far is Courtyard by Mariott from Nana? Is this hotel any good? Is it close to any one the mongering areas?

In Thailand July beginning for a week starting July 1st. Indian, 39, and well travelled. Have been to Pattaya many times in the past and always had a gala time. Looking to spend a few nights in BKK this time and would really appreciate a wingman who knows the Cowboy and Nana mongering scene well.
