In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Between the budget stays and the pricey hotel inside the terminal, Amaranth fills the gap neatly — a good 4-star with a free airport shuttle, rated 8.7/10 by real guests. It is a Best Western Premier with more than 220 rooms. The Superior rooms run 32 sqm, roomy and easy to settle into, with a firm King or twin beds and decor in brown, cream and gold. You get a large work desk, a fridge, a coffee maker, a 42-inch flat TV and free Wi-Fi, plus an ensuite bathroom with a separate tub and a rain shower.
Food and amenities
There is a large outdoor pool and a 24-hour gym, which is why Amaranth suits families who want to genuinely unwind before or after a flight rather than just sleep — especially if you arrive midday with time on your hands. The Aroi restaurant does Thai and international food, and the breakfast buffet runs to dim sum, noodles and fresh omelettes.
Location and getting there
The heart of any airport hotel is the shuttle, and Amaranth runs a free Suvarnabhumi shuttle every 30 minutes, 24 hours, taking about 15 minutes. The pickup point sits at Gate 3 on level 2 of the airport, with a clear Amaranth sign, so you can time your departure precisely. The shuttle category scores a high 9.0. Our team booked the 04:30 run ahead of a 07:30 flight and everything ran on time.
Things to know before booking
You ride the shuttle to the airport — the hotel is not attached to the terminal the way the Novotel is, so build the transfer into your timing. It also costs more than the budget picks in this list, which makes it the wrong choice if the only goal is the lowest price. And in high season rooms fill up fast, so book ahead.
Our take
Best Western Premier Amaranth Suvarnabhumi Airport is best for families and couples who want comfortable 4-star airport lodging with a free shuttle, without paying terminal-hotel rates. Rooms start around $63 a night, and we recommend it with confidence as the most balanced pick in the mid-range bracket.
