Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok represents the brand’s first foray into Southeast Asia

-

Channellin­g the vibrant energy of the Thai capital and featuring a distinct design narrative, Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok offers easy access to the heart of the city and boasts stellar views over Lumphini Park from its location in Langsuan.

Inspired by Thai history and urban chic in equal measure, Bangkok-based interior design studio P49 Design juxtaposes handwoven Thai textiles and local art against raw concrete and metallic details.

With 362 rooms and suites including 131 serviced residences, the most spacious accommodat­ion is the 320 sqm Celebrity Suite, with one super king and one king bed and its own jacuzzi. All rooms feature bespoke Harnn bathroom amenities, a Vifa Helsinki sound system, robes by Christian Develter and a bar stocked with mixes from Asia’s first premium craft-bottled cocktail brand, Laiba.

The hotel has four dining venues, each defined by a cool, casual vibe. Check into Craft for single-origin coffee and eat at Thai revolving pop-up kitchens at Stock.Room, where you can also shop for groceries. Cocktail bar Ms.Jigger’s spritz and punch trollies serve sublime mixes tableside while rooftop garden/drinking spot Bar.Yard proffers rooftop barbecue alongside tiki-influenced cocktails.

Wellness a priority? The gym provides nutrition consultati­on and workout classes, while the amaranth spa by Harnn delivers nature-inspired spa treatments, manicures and pedicures. Guests can also take a dip in the hotel’s outdoor pool and chill out to views over Lumphini Park. kimptonmaa­laibangkok.com
