Guest sentiment
A 568-room hotel on New Phetchaburi Road with a free shuttle to Phetchaburi MRT and the Makkasan Airport Rail Link, recently rebranded from AVANI Atrium.
Last updated August 9, 2026
Grand Mercure Bangkok Atrium occupies the long-running Phetchaburi/Huai Khwang property formerly known as Atrium Bangkok and then AVANI(+) Atrium Bangkok, rebranded into Accor's Grand Mercure name in 2022. A free half-hourly shuttle links the hotel to Phetchaburi MRT and the Makkasan Airport Rail Link, and reviewers consistently praise spacious rooms, an executive lounge, and strong value against comparable Sukhumvit-area hotels. The location sits outside Bangkok's main tourist clusters, so sightseeing depends on that transit connection, and at 568 rooms the property can feel busy during high-occupancy periods; because of the recent rebrand, older reviews and some booking sites still reference the AVANI name for the same building.

Pros
- Free half-hourly shuttle to Phetchaburi MRT station and the Airport Rail Link at Makkasan, easing airport and city transfers
- Spacious, modern rooms (roughly 32-45 sqm) with rainfall showers, seen as strong value versus comparable Sukhumvit-area hotels
- Executive lounge with breakfast and evening canapes, plus a well-regarded Indian restaurant and Cantonese dim sum on site
- Solid facilities for a business-class hotel: outdoor pool, fitness centre, spa and sauna
- Consistently friendly, attentive staff reported across the property's different brand eras
Cons
- Sits outside Bangkok's prime tourist zones (Sukhumvit, Sathorn, Silom) and feels functional rather than charming, so sightseeing relies on transit
- At 568 rooms the hotel can feel busy and less intimate during conference or high-occupancy periods
- Some guests describe the decor as dated in places, and isolated room issues have been reported
The research view
What the research keeps finding
Themes that came up again and again across independent reviews — not a single opinion, but the patterns that repeat.
Consistently praised
- A free half-hourly shuttle to Phetchaburi MRT and the Makkasan Airport Rail Link is a recurring positive across reviews
- Service quality is rated consistently well across the property's different brand eras (Atrium, AVANI/AVANI+, and now Grand Mercure)
- Guests repeatedly cite strong value: pool, gym, executive lounge and multiple dining options at rates below comparable Sukhumvit-area hotels
Worth knowing before you book
- The property has changed brand names multiple times (Atrium, then AVANI/AVANI+ Atrium, now Grand Mercure Bangkok Atrium), so some booking platforms and older listings still carry the AVANI name for the same building
- The neighborhood sits outside Bangkok's main tourist districts, so travelers prioritizing walkable nightlife or attractions should expect to rely on the MRT/Airport Rail Link shuttle

Frequently asked questions
How far is Grand Mercure Bangkok Atrium from Suvarnabhumi Airport?
It's roughly 26 km from Suvarnabhumi Airport, about 30-45 minutes by car depending on traffic. The hotel is more directly linked to the Airport Rail Link's Makkasan station via a free shuttle, which is often the faster option.
Is Grand Mercure Bangkok Atrium the same hotel as AVANI Atrium Bangkok?
Yes -- the 568-room property at 1880 New Phetchaburi Road operated for years as Atrium Bangkok and later AVANI(+) Atrium Bangkok before Accor rebranded it as Grand Mercure Bangkok Atrium in 2022; it's the same building and location under new management.
