Killer Reason to Select a Cheap Hotel in Sukhumvit Near EmQuartier
The absolute killer reason you should select to stay in a cheap hotel in Sukhumvit near EmQuarter is Em District. The EM District on Bangkok’s world-famous Sukhumvit Road is an ambitious multi-billion-baht retail project that is fast becoming the business and leisure epicentre of Bangkok.  EM District comprises three distinct luxury shopping malls clustered around BTS Phrom Phong Station: long-standing Emporium (opened in 1997), striking EmQuartier (opened in 2015) and EmSphere, a futuristic glass-dome-mall beside Benjasiri Park which is currently under construction (opening in 2021). The interior design of Emporium, EmQuartier and EmSphere is highlighted by architectural marvels, like a 40-metre-high waterfall and circular dining walkway, and technological innovation, provide customers with the ultimate shopping, dining and leisure destination. Some of the world-class entertainment incorporated into the design include Quartier Cineart, a seven-screen and IMAX movie theatre; Emprive Cineclub, a six-star cinema; Virgin Active, flagship fitness club spread over 4,000 sqm and including an indoor swimming pool; Kids Creative Playground, innovative rides at the first digital playground in Thailand; and Em Live, a 6,000-seat entertainment arena. For fashionistas, there is no better place to get your favorite outfits and accessories than at the EM District, comprised of numerous world-class designer brands, namely Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior, Prada, Valentino, Cartier, Dolce & Gabbana and many more. Em District is also a hub for leading Thai designer labels including Sretsis, Sanshai, Disaya, Tube Gallery and more. If you’re looking for beauty products, Sephora and line-up of world’s most renowned brands are all available here for you to try. Find an overview of the three shopping venues below:

EmQuartier

EmQuartier is easily one of Bangkok’s most visually stunning and unique shopping destinations. Beyond shopping, dining and entertainment, the architecture alone is enough to lure in the crowds. Highlights include a rooftop garden, central atrium with cascading waterfall, a 100-metre-long ‘rainforest chandelier’, skywalks with floor-to-ceiling windows, indoor garden and multi-tiered façade adorned with LED screens. The forecourt plays host to a roster of ever changing outdoor markets too.

Emporium

Emporium Mall across the road is festooned with luxury brands, upscale eateries and sleek design (it was refurbished less than two years ago). Spread over six floors, this upmarket shopping complex houses a plethora of high-end brands, a few mid-range fashion stores, lots of jewellery outlets, a pharmacy, bookstore, several beauty clinics, a cinema, department store, supermarket, food court and a children's play centre! The mall is also attached to the five-star Emporium Suites hotel, with stunning views over Benjasiri Park.

EmSphere

Last, but not least is EmSphere, which may well be the most ambitious mall of all! This incredible shopping Mecca is set to feature an impressive glass dome design as its central building, with two other structures on either side. Like its sister properties, it will feature a mix of luxury fashion, lifestyle brands, entertainment offerings and upscale dining. We can’t wait until this one is unveiled!
