Home/Hotels near landmarks/Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall
Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall is a grand marble hall in Dusit, the historic district laid out around Bangkok's royal palaces. Visitors reach it from hotels in Dusit and Banglamphu, both within easy range of the hall. The domed exterior is a familiar sight on the district's ceremonial avenues.

Staying in Dusit puts you in the ceremonial quarter itself, among royal palaces, government ministries and the parks between them. Suan Dusit Place Hotel is 490 m from the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall, a 7-minute walk; Hi Baan Thewet, rated 4.4 from 67 reviews, is 720 m away; and Casa Blanca Dusit is 900 m away. The area is quiet with a modest food scene and no nightlife to speak of, and it is a short ride from the Grand Palace.
Banglamphu is the other central district to base yourself in for the throne hall, livelier than Dusit and roughly 3 km from it. None of the hotels listed here sit in Banglamphu itself, so you would travel over to Dusit for the landmark rather than walk from your door. From the Banglamphu side, expect a short ride or a longer walk along Ratchadamnoen Nok, the broad tree-lined avenue Rama V laid out north from the old city towards the palaces and ministries.
Distances from the listed hotels to the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall range from 410 m to 1.0 km, so almost all of it is walkable. Coop Dopa Hostel is 410 m (6 minutes), Suan Dusit Place Hotel 490 m (7), Baan Tepa Boutique House 650 m (10), and Suan Sunandha Palace Hotel and Hiddenmoon Cottage both 700 m (11). From about 850 m out — Shanti Lodge Bangkok, SSIP Boutique Dhevej Bangkok at 880 m, Casa Blanca Dusit at 900 m, The Raweekanlaya Hotel Bangkok at 950 m — the walk runs 13 to 14 minutes; Sri Ayuttaya Guesthouse and Tavee Guesthouse, both at 1.0 km, take about 15. The boulevards of Dusit are wide and tree-lined, so these are pleasant walks. From the wider city, or from the airport, a taxi or a short ride covers the last stretch; once in Dusit, walking is the natural way to move between the throne hall, the parks and the ministries.
Bangkok's Whitehall — the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall is a royal palace of Italian marble at the heart of Dusit, the district Rama V built after his European tours in the 1890s. He drew Ratchadamnoen Nok as a broad tree-lined avenue north from the old city, built Dusit Palace and the Vimanmek Mansion, and commissioned this throne hall as the centrepiece of Bangkok's civic and ceremonial quarter. Visits today are from the outside: the hall closed in 2017, and much of Dusit Palace has been closed since 2016, with no clear reopening date. People come to see the marble dome and European-style boulevards, to walk the huge quiet parks between the palaces and ministries, and to add nearby Wat Benchamabophit, the Marble Temple, that most travellers skip. This is the least touristy of Bangkok's central districts — genuinely quiet for somewhere 3 km from Khao San — and the boulevards are properly walkable in a way most of Bangkok is not.

Dusit is Bangkok's civic and ceremonial quarter: royal palaces on one side, government ministries on the other, and huge quiet parks in between, all laid out by Rama V in the 1890s. Two significant sights most travellers skip are the Dusit Palace throne hall and Wat Benchamabophit, the Marble Temple, a short way from the throne hall.
This is the least touristy of Bangkok's central districts. There are perhaps 15 hotels of any consequence, a modest food scene and no nightlife to speak of, and you can walk five minutes without seeing another farang. It is genuinely quiet — sometimes eerily so — even though it is only 3 km from Khao San.
