Grande Centre Point Surawong Bangkok
A rooftop pool above Surawong, near Jim Thompson House
About this hotel
Grande Centre Point Surawong is the confirmed rooftop pool address in this guide's Surawong pocket, elevated above the tower's lower floors with a view over the surrounding rooftops rather than a ground-floor garden. Soundproofed rooms with city views, dining tables and minibars suit the more central, commercial setting compared with the quieter riverside hotels elsewhere in this guide. The on-site restaurant serves American, Asian and Steakhouse cuisine, with breakfast running to local specialities, fresh pastries and a brunch option, and the electric vehicle charging station is a rare extra among the properties covered here. MBK Center and Jim Thompson House both sit within a few kilometres, reachable by taxi or ride-hail rather than a direct Skytrain link from the property.

Our take
This suits travellers who specifically want a rooftop pool experience closer to Silom than Sukhumvit, best used in the early morning or after five in the evening when the elevated deck avoids the strongest direct sun. Guests visiting Jim Thompson House benefit from the shorter trip compared with a Sukhumvit base. Travellers planning heavy daily Skytrain use should factor in the lack of a direct BTS or MRT connection here, unlike several Sukhumvit hotels on this list.
- ✓Swim early morning or after five in the evening, since the rooftop deck gets more direct sun through the middle of the day.
- ✓Budget for a taxi or ride-hail trip to MBK Center or Siam Paragon, both a few kilometres from the hotel itself.
- ✓Reserve the on-site steakhouse ahead if you're set on it, since it draws outside diners as well as hotel guests.
Why we love it
- Rooftop pool above the Surawong skyline
- Electric vehicle charging station on-site

Why guests love itGuests who pick this hotel for the rooftop pool usually already know they'll rely on taxis rather than the Skytrain, trading that convenience for a genuinely elevated view over Surawong that the ground-floor pools elsewhere on this list can't match. Early mornings suit the pool best, before the open deck takes the full force of the midday sun. The steakhouse restaurant and the short trip to Jim Thompson House round out a stay built for travellers who've already covered the Sukhumvit side of the city.
