In BKK, I stayed at Banyan Tree, that's the hotel with the SkyBar on the 66th floor. Great place for a first date. I frequently 'forgot' my wallet in the room when it was time to bounce elsewhere there. Make sure to check out Nahm at the Renissance(?) hotel for dinner one night. It's the only Michelin starred restaurant in Thailand.
Also, I stayed at the Ramada on Suk Soi 10. Good location, a few hundred meters from both Asok and Nana BTS stations. They also had a rooftop bar and pool. Overall, for the price, around $45/night, it was a good value. They couldn't give a shit about who you brought back to the place late at night either.
I spent two nights at the Chatrium Riverside as well. Overall, I was disappointed with the quality here. Though it was on the river, it was a bit far from pretty much everything. Not really a place to spend time if you want to be near the BTS. I had one of the Penthouse Suites, but it was nothing to write home about. Things seemed a bit outdated and less than the top quality that I was expected.
