Grand Tower Inn

The Resort & Setting

Grand Tower Inn is a city hotel property on Thanon Rama VI in Phaya Thai, one of Bangkok's more central and transport-friendly districts. Guests and timeshare owners staying here have access to a 24-hour international restaurant, a fitness centre and a rooftop pool — practical amenities for a destination where the heat and the city's pace reward having somewhere comfortable to retreat to between outings. The resort is independent but exchange-affiliated, giving owners a route to trade their week through RCI if they want a change of scenery in future years.

With a 4/5 average from 1,545 Google reviews, the feedback points to a consistently solid, well-run property rather than a boutique or resort-style escape — useful context for anyone deciding whether a week here suits their travel habits.

The Area and Things to Do

Phaya Thai is one of Bangkok's most useful home bases: it sits on the BTS Skytrain line, which makes getting around the city — to Siam, Chatuchak, or down toward the river — straightforward without relying on taxis through Bangkok traffic. The district itself is a working mix of offices, street-food stalls and local markets rather than a tourist strip, which suits owners who want an authentic slice of the city alongside easy access to its major draws.

From here, it's a short trip to Bangkok's well-known temples, the Chao Phraya River boat routes, and the shopping and nightlife districts further south. Bangkok's year-round street food scene, markets and cultural sights mean there's always something to fill a day, whatever the season.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a timeshare week at Grand Tower Inn and are ready to move on, or simply want to rent it out for a season, listing it privately is usually the most direct route. On BidMyTimeshare.com, you set your own asking price, your listing goes live for interested buyers or renters to contact you directly through the platform, and there's no commission taken on the sale — sellers pay only a one-time listing fee to get the week in front of buyers.

Because Grand Tower Inn is independent, any resale transfer is handled through the resort's own owners' association or management rather than a branded resale programme. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, it's worth asking the resort directly for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, since these aren't published figures and can change from year to year. It's also sensible to confirm whether the resort or association holds a right of first refusal on resales, and how long a transfer typically takes to process once a buyer is found, so both sides know what to expect before money changes hands.

Renters, meanwhile, are usually looking for straightforward things: confirmed dates, clarity on what's included (room type, any resort fees), and a host who can answer questions about the property and the neighbourhood promptly.

Practical Notes

Because the resort sits within RCI's exchange network, owners who'd rather trade their week than sell or rent it have that option too, subject to RCI's own exchange terms and availability. Anyone buying a resale week should understand that a resale purchase typically transfers the right to use the week itself — not any loyalty perks, credits or promotions tied to the original purchase — so it's worth asking the seller or the resort exactly what is and isn't included before finalising.
