12 The Residence Hotel is a 4-star hotel with 266 rooms that opened in 2022. It's located on Soranakhom Road in Don Mueang, Bangkok, just minutes by car from Don Mueang Airport. What makes it a popular pick for people attending events at IMPACT is its airport shuttle, which starts running at 4am, plus a shuttle to Don Mueang train station. It suits anyone flying into Don Mueang late at night before an early-morning event, or wrapping up at Muang Thong Thani with a dawn flight the next day.
Keep in mind this hotel isn't in Muang Thong Thani itself. It's about 10 kilometers from IMPACT Arena, so walking to the halls isn't an option; you'll need a car, and the ride takes around 20 minutes in normal traffic. The upside is that the route runs directly from the Don Mueang side into Muang Thong Thani without cutting through the city center, and there's free parking for anyone driving themselves, which makes it convenient if you've rented a car or are driving your own.
Rooms range from the 25-square-meter Standard King up to the 60-square-meter Suite Room. Every room has high-speed Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, a minibar, and a private bathroom, and the whole hotel is non-smoking. Check-in is at 3pm and check-out at noon, later than the usual standard, which means you don't have to rush packing on the morning of an afternoon event on your last day.
Why IMPACT event-goers pick this place
- The Don Mueang airport shuttle starts at 4am, ideal if you're wrapping up at IMPACT and have an early-morning flight the next day
- About 20 minutes by car to IMPACT Arena, Challenger, Exhibition Hall, and Thunder Dome, roughly 10 kilometers away, without going through the city center
- Free parking, good for anyone driving themselves or picking up a rental car at Don Mueang and driving to the venue
- Check-out at noon, an hour later than the typical 11am, giving you time to rest before an afternoon session or a flight
- 266 rooms in a hotel that opened in 2022, so the building and rooms are still new, with suites up to 60 square meters for exhibitors who need to keep working from their room
- A shuttle to Don Mueang train station for anyone connecting by train or heading into the city

How long does it take to get to IMPACT Muang Thong Thani?
12 The Residence Hotel is in Don Mueang, not in Muang Thong Thani, so you can't walk to any of the halls; a car is the only option. It's about 10 kilometers from IMPACT Arena, roughly 20 minutes under normal traffic.
Since all the halls sit within the same IMPACT complex, travel times are similar across them, differing mainly by drop-off point. On days with a major concert or large fair, traffic into Muang Thong Thani gets heavier between 4pm and 7pm, so add another 20 to 30 minutes.
- IMPACT Arena: about 10 km, around 20 minutes by car, not walkable
- IMPACT Challenger (Halls 1-3): about 10 km, around 20 minutes by car, not walkable
- IMPACT Exhibition Hall (Halls 1-8): about 10 km, around 20 minutes by car, not walkable
- Thunder Dome: about 10 km, around 20 minutes by car, not walkable
- On big event evenings, allow an extra 20 to 30 minutes
Don Mueang airport and train station shuttle
The hotel runs a shuttle to Don Mueang Airport starting at 4am, a real point of difference from hotels right in Muang Thong Thani. If you're finishing up at IMPACT with a dawn flight, you won't need to call your own ride at 4am or pay overnight surcharges.
Beyond the airport shuttle, there's also a shuttle to Don Mueang train station, useful for visitors arriving by train from other provinces or anyone who wants to connect into the city without driving. Call ahead at 02 566 3333 to confirm schedules and book a seat, since daily runs may be adjusted based on the number of guests.
- Don Mueang airport shuttle starts at 4am
- Shuttle service to Don Mueang train station available
- Call 02 566 3333 in advance to book a seat
- The shuttle doesn't run to IMPACT; use a taxi or your own car for the venue
Parking and driving yourself
The hotel offers free parking for guests, which saves money if you're driving to the event over several consecutive days or picked up a rental car at Don Mueang to drive to Muang Thong Thani yourself.
For exhibitors hauling equipment, the roughly 10-kilometer, 20-minute drive from Don Mueang to IMPACT means you can dash back for something forgotten in your room and be there and back in under an hour when traffic is light.
- Free parking for hotel guests
- About 10 km and 20 minutes by car from the hotel to IMPACT
- Parking within the IMPACT grounds is charged separately at IMPACT's own rates
Breakfast and dining
The hotel has an in-house restaurant, and several room packages include breakfast. The official website doesn't state a breakfast start time, so if you need to head to IMPACT early or catch the 4am shuttle, call 02 566 3333 ahead to ask when breakfast starts and whether a grab-and-go breakfast box is available.
For the Suite Room, the hotel notes multiple breakfast options, useful if you're staying several nights and don't want to repeat the same menu.
- In-house restaurant at the hotel
- Room packages available both with and without breakfast
- Suite Room comes with multiple breakfast options
- Call 02 566 3333 to ask about breakfast timing
Rooms and in-room amenities
There are 266 rooms in total, starting with the 25-square-meter Standard King, larger than the standard room at many hotels of the same class. Next up are the 30-square-meter Deluxe King and Deluxe Twin, and the suite category includes the 50-square-meter Royal Suite and the 60-square-meter Suite Room.
Every room has high-speed Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, a minibar, and a private bathroom, and the whole hotel is non-smoking. The suites have a work area separate from the sleeping space, useful for catching up on work after a fair, and the Royal Suite has a small kitchenette for longer stays.
- Standard King: 25 sqm
- Deluxe King and Deluxe Twin: 30 sqm
- Royal Suite: 50 sqm, with a living area and small kitchenette
- Suite Room: 60 sqm, with a sofa set and separate work area
- High-speed Wi-Fi, flat-screen TV, minibar, and private bathroom in every room
- Non-smoking throughout the hotel
Families and children
The hotel's Family Suite Room combines 1 King bed and 1 Twin bed in a single room. What sets it apart from typical family rooms is 2 bathrooms, a real help on mornings when everyone needs to get out the door for the event at once. It also has a water heater, air conditioning, and an electronic door lock.
Families attending IMPACT with children should plan around transport first, since you can't walk from the hotel to the halls; the 10-kilometer trip takes about 20 minutes by car each way. The official website doesn't specify a policy for free stays for children or extra beds, so check with 02 566 3333 before booking.

Tips for anyone attending IMPACT
This hotel makes the most sense if your flights in and out of Don Mueang are the main factor, rather than needing to walk in and out of the halls all day. If your event ends at 10pm and you have a 7am flight, staying on the Don Mueang side and taking the 4am shuttle beats staying next to the halls and then racing back to the airport before dawn.
But if you're an exhibitor who needs to be in the hall by 8am every day and gets back late every night, work out the cost of 2 round trips a day at about 20 minutes each before deciding, since the 10-kilometer gap has no walking connection and no direct public transport.
- Finishing late with an early flight? Take the 4am airport shuttle
- Noon check-out suits events with an afternoon session on your last day
- Check-in is at 3pm; if you arrive early, leave your bags and head to the event
- Book a car ahead on days with a major concert at IMPACT Arena, since rides get scarce after the event lets out
- Driving yourself and parking free is cheaper than booking 2 rides a day for a multi-day event
