Swissôtel Nai Lert Park Hotel is a luxury hotel in Wireless Road, Bangkok, Thailand. It is operated by Swissôtel, as part of the Fairmont Raffles Hotels International chain of 98 hotels and was established in 1984, originally as a Hilton Hotel.[1][2] It contains 338 rooms. Lonely Planet says of the hotel, "a mishmash of bygone styles, the Nai Lert is a bit disappointing in the cramped rooms, but glorious underneath a shady tree in its private garden-park."[3]

The hotel was awarded Thailand’s Leading Business Hotel by the World Travel Awards Asia in 2008. The hotel restaurant Ma Maison has been named as Best Restaurant by Thailand Tatler’s Best Restaurants.

On June 3, 2009, American actor David Carradine was found dead in the wardrobe of his room in the hotel. Carradine died of autoerotic asphyxiation.[4][5]
