Opened in November 1992, continually upgraded, The Emerald Hotel is located in the midst of one of Bangkok's busiest commercial and entertainment hubs.The Emerald Hotel is considered "home away from home" too many of its regular guests. Unlike most major cities there is no "central or downtown" Bangkok. Instead there are three or four different areas in the city which all provide shopping, entertainment and business facilities. The Emerald Hotel is in one of these areas on Rachadapisek Road, commonly abbreviated to "Rachada".
