The Nana Hotel is located on Sukhumvit Soi 4 right in the heart of the Bangkok nightlife…and by right in the heart I mean it spills over into Nana’s parking lot. The Nana hotel is more of an institution than it is a hotel. There are definitely newer and much better hotels where you can stay in the general area but if you get the chance I would recommend staying at the Nana at least once in your journey’s just to witness the carnival like atmosphere right outside it’s doors.

I stayed at the Nana Hotel in late 2006 for a few days while I was in Bangkok. Staying anywhere in the Soi 4 area is easy access to attractions, shopping, and of course the infamous nightlife of Soi 4. With ample taxi traffic and the Skytrain a stones throw away you can get anywhere in the city easily.

I booked a deluxe room at 1600 baht a night which is running about 1800 (roughly $52.00) baht a night now.  The room I stayed in was very reminiscent of the 70’s with the wood paneling and the furniture , but the room was large and had everything I needed. A little expensive for what it was but you have to keep in mind it’s not so much the room but the proximity to nightlife that the Nana is known for. This is definitely not a family hotel!

With the price of the deluxe room I got breakfast and complimentary paper daily as well as free bottled water daily. The hotel has a very nice pool located on the fourth floor which is a nice escape from the heat of Bangkok. Nana hotel also has a bar and restaurant on the ground floor and 24 hour room service.

The hotel is also home to Angel’s Disco…better known as the Nana Disco, which is always crowded. They do charge a cover to get in but I believe you still get a your first drink free. If you like the loud music and a lot of beautiful women then this is the place for you.

The hotel doesn’t have in room safes which I prefer but they do have room safes at the reception desk and they were very secure as far as I was concerned. You need to sign in and out every time you access the box. I’d much rather have a room safe but this worked out fine.

The hotel also has computer access in the lobby and I understand now they have installed Wifi.

As day turns into night you’ll see the area transform into a neon circus of sorts. With the Nana Entertainment Plaza right a cross the street  and freelancer bars up and down the street coming alive. The Nana Entertainment Plaza can best be described as an adult mall of sorts filled with bars and beautiful women. It really has to be seen as no reasonable description could possibly due it justice.

The parking lot of the Nana hotel starts filling up around 8pm and becomes quite crowded by ten with women looking for a date for the night. I told you it wasn’t a family hotel. By the time the bars close down around 2am the parking lot and street becomes a mass of human bodies and is a lot of fun to watch.

Like I said there are much nicer hotels and better prices available but it’s not so much the hotel as it is the atmosphere and the history of it all which is definitely a must see.
