KIMPTON MAA-LAI BANGKOK
As South East Asia’s first Kimpton, the hotel situated in the creative district of Langsuan presents a vibrant take on the age-old Thai philosophy of ‘lamiat’. It suggests that life should be approached as a work of art and P49 Deesign, responsible for the interior design of the hotel, took it by heart. Handcrafted textiles, whimsical artwork, a dramatic centrepiece, and organic materials found their place in the hotel. Contrasting colours and textures amplify associations with Bangkok’s urban streetscape, setting a vibrant mood for guests.
Offering 362 rooms, suites and serviced residences, each accommodation is equipped with thoughtful design from local artists. From bespoke HARNN bath amenities to Christian Develter for Tube Gallery’s kimono robes, the pet-friendly hotel features stunning views of Bangkok’s skyline and neighbouring Lumpini Park from all its rooms. Wellness takes centre stage with natureinspired treatments at amaranth spa by HARNN, morning yoga lessons on the rooftop garden as well as personal Muay Thai and mixed martial arts training.

Ascend to the second level and there, one will find the opulent lifestyle of one who has struck gold. Inspired by the ballrooms in the later half of the 1800s that are run by affluent ‘madams’, the interior is adorned with swathes of wallpaper that create a flow of stories as guests travel through the rooms.
