Bangkok's Best Hotel with an Infinity Pool
Eastin Grand Hotel Sathorn is the property in this guide confirmed to have an outdoor infinity-edge pool, connected directly to Surasak BTS Skytrain Station via the hotel's own Sky Bridge. That connection sets it apart from most of this guide's other listings, which require a walk or a taxi to reach the nearest station. The hotel pairs its infinity pool with a well-equipped fitness centre and three dining options, including Chinese and Cantonese cuisine at Chef Man, and sits roughly a forty-five-minute drive from Suvarnabhumi International Airport. Rooms are fresh and modern, with 24-hour cable and satellite television, a stocked minibar and hot-water showers as standard.
Sathorn sits at the southern edge of Bangkok's central business district, a mix of embassies, office towers and hotels that runs quieter after dark than Sukhumvit's nightlife strip a few stations north. The BTS Silom Line threads through the area, connecting Sathorn to both the Sukhumvit hotels covered elsewhere in this guide and the Chao Phraya riverside, making it a practical, if less lively, alternative base for travellers prioritising transport links over evening buzz.

An Infinity Pool Linked To The BTS
An infinity-edge pool creates the visual effect of water merging with the skyline beyond it, which at Eastin Grand Hotel Sathorn means Bangkok's Sathorn district stretching out past the pool's edge rather than a walled garden or courtyard view. The direct Sky Bridge link to Surasak BTS station is arguably as significant as the pool design itself, since it removes the taxi or walk that most hotels in this guide require to reach the Skytrain network. Together, the two features suit travellers who want both a distinctive pool and minimal friction getting around the city by rail.
The infinity pool at Eastin Grand Hotel Sathorn sits at the edge of the property with an open view over the surrounding district, and its outdoor setting means it follows the same seasonal comfort pattern as other outdoor pools in this guide, cooler and more pleasant from November to February than during the hot season. The hotel's own Sky Bridge connects directly to Surasak BTS Skytrain Station, a rare feature among the properties in this guide and one that removes the usual taxi or walk needed to reach the rail network from a hotel entrance, particularly useful during the rainy season downpours that flood low-lying Sukhumvit side streets most years.
Rooms at Eastin Grand Hotel Sathorn come with 24-hour cable and satellite channels, a fully stocked minibar, tea and coffee making facilities and a personal safe, alongside hot-water showers, slippers and free toiletries in the bathroom. The well-equipped fitness centre sits on-site alongside the infinity pool, giving guests a full workout-and-swim routine without leaving the building, and free WiFi covers the property throughout, which matters for business travellers combining the stay with online meetings between pool sessions and early morning check-ins after a late flight into Suvarnabhumi International, well before the rest of Sathorn wakes up.
Three dining options operate on-site, including Chef Man, which serves Chinese cuisine and Cantonese specialities, giving guests a reason to stay in for dinner after a pool session rather than heading out into Sathorn's more limited evening options compared with Sukhumvit. That range of on-site dining matters more here than at some of this guide's smaller boutique hotels, since Sathorn's after-dark options thin out earlier than the busier Sukhumvit strip, leaving the hotel's own restaurants as the more reliable choice most nights of the week for a full sit-down dinner.
Being roughly a forty-five-minute drive from Suvarnabhumi International Airport puts Eastin Grand Hotel Sathorn on a similar footing to most other properties in this guide for airport transfers, but the direct Sky Bridge to Surasak BTS station gives it a distinct edge for getting around once checked in. Guests who plan to spend most of a Bangkok trip using the Skytrain rather than taxis will likely find this the most convenient infinity pool option in the city for that specific priority, even before weighing the pool itself against the rest of the guide.
A traveler's takeI picked Eastin Grand Hotel Sathorn mainly for the Sky Bridge, since walking straight from the lobby to Surasak BTS station meant I never once needed a taxi during a five-day stay. The infinity pool became my end-of-day routine once the Sathorn heat eased past five, with dinner at Chef Man most nights rather than venturing into the quieter evening streets.
Local tips
- 1Use the hotel's own Sky Bridge to reach Surasak BTS station directly, saving the taxi or walk that most other hotels in this guide require to reach the Skytrain.
- 2Swim in the infinity pool from November to February for the most comfortable outdoor conditions, since the pool's open setting means full sun exposure during the hotter months.
- 3Eat at Chef Man on-site if you want Cantonese specialities without heading out, useful given Sathorn's quieter evening scene compared with Sukhumvit's busier restaurant strip.
- 4Budget around forty-five minutes for the drive to or from Suvarnabhumi International Airport, similar to the transfer time from most other hotels covered in this guide.
- 5Pick this hotel specifically if daily Skytrain use matters more to you than proximity to Sukhumvit's malls and nightlife, given the direct Sathorn BTS connection.
- 6Ask about pool hours before booking a late check-in, since an outdoor infinity pool's best swimming windows fall in the early morning or early evening rather than midday.
