Siam Square, or in short “Siam,” is the commercial center of Bangkok. The largest shopping malls in the country are located there, plus there are hundreds of restaurants, souvenir shops, movie theaters, and even an outdoor concert venue. Unsurprisingly, Siam has become the most popular place for Thais to hang out for at least three decades.
These reasons also make Siam one of Bangkok’s best places to stay. However, like other destinations worldwide, not all accommodations are worth booking.
Hence, I decided to write this article to pinpoint the best hotels in Siam, so you can choose the one that suits your budget and preferences immediately.

Why Should You Stay in Siam?
- Safety – Siam is unarguably one of the safest parts of Bangkok. I visited this place every day since my high school was nearby. I never encountered or heard of any issues, despite walking alone at night.
- Family-friendly – Siam has no pubs or nightlife venues (but does have small bars or restaurants that sell alcohol). Most pedestrians are students and white-collar workers.
- Convenient Location – Siam is an interchange station between the Silom line and Sukhumvit Line of BTS (Bangkok Skytrain). Hence, you can easily visit various other attractions, such as Chatujak market, Thonglor, and Phrompong market.
- A Shopper and diner’s paradise – Siam has several world-class department stores, numerous boutique fashion shops, a street food market, hundreds of restaurants, and many more. One tourist told me that Siam was a paradise since he could find everything he wanted to buy or eat there.
The only drawback is that the area can be boisterous during the afternoon and the evening. However, you can select the hotel located a bit farther away from the department stores.
