Many flights between Australia and Europe, as well as Europe and Asia, pass through Bangkok. On a stopover, the city is an unexpected gem, which will no doubt one day be the subject of more intensive exploration, and be your ultimate destination for future holidays. This time round, though, if you are stopping over in Bangkok, what are the best places to stay?

Everybody who passes through Bangkok notes that there is something wonderfully welcoming, entrancingly exotic, and gently gorgeous about the city. Despite the fact that it is a major metropolitan hub, and has all of the noise and breakneck pace of a world-class city. It also has its own magic. Many people are first introduced to Bangkok on stopovers, as it is a popular refueling and refreshing point between Europe, Asia and Australia. If you will have the pleasure of discovering Bangkok on a short stopover, here we have a guide to the best, most convenient airport hotels in Bangkok.

Only twenty minutes from Suvarnabhumi International Airport is the Park Nine Hotel Bangkok, with a refreshing nature theme to contrast with the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. The airport hotel rooms at the Park Nine are actually apartment units, appointed with all the contemporary amenities. If you are travelling with a family, you will no doubt want the conveniences of home, both for your sanity's sake and your wallet's sake. The Park Nine offers these, and brings a sense of calm and peace to your hectic stopover, with balconies overlooking the Koi pond, as well as lush gardens.

However, even more conveniently located ot Suvarnabhumi International airport is the Novotel Suvarnabhumi. Only ten minutes walk form the major airport, or an even shorter tuk tuk or taxi ride, the Novotel has two bars and four restaurants on site, for easy and delicious dining. You can have the comforts of home, with international dining at The Square, or the exotic tinkle of bells and Zen-like calm at the Japanese restaurant Kinsen. Traditional Thai cuisine is also available, for a better experience of your host country.

Don Muang is the other major international airport in Bangkok, and if you are arriving here, the Amari Don Muang Airport has some beautiful airport hotel rooms. Feel the relaxation seep into your bones at the Amari's tropical sauna, before you once again embark on your journey. You an let your hair down at a the cafe or cocktail bar, and the Amari is also located close to some of Bangkok's best nightlife. The Amari airport hotel in Bangkok has elegant, sophisticate restaurants like Le Bel Air and The Zeppelin, both offering European and international cuisine.

Asia Airport Hotel is only 3 km from the airport - a brisk walk if you would like to stretch your legs after a long flight, or a very short taxi or tuk tuk ride. Iron out the kinks from sitting so long in airplane seats with Asia Airport Hotel's swimming pool and Jacuzzi, and refresh your senses at the cafe or the gymnasium - depending on your preference!

No doubt this Bangkok stopover is the start of many beautiful encounters with one of the most individual cities on the planet. Enjoy it in style and convenience at one of Bangkok's many airport hotels, and create some awesome memories to bring you back!
