Also in The 50 Discovery, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
The futuristic building features open-air terraces, a gorgeous infinity pool, and airy rooms with wraparound floor-to-ceiling windows…
“The hotel’s triple-layered ceilings and porte-cochère, for instance, echo the 1915 structure’s distinctive roofline, as do the narrow-planked flooring patterns and teak accents...”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set within Pathum Wan, the shaded park grounds buffer city noise while keeping Central Embassy and Phloen Chit station within an easy walk.
The rooms
Suites feature woven banana bark headboards, hand-applied clay murals, circular freestanding soaking tubs, and floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the lush canopy.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The thermal baths
A hydrotherapy circuit houses marble plunge pools and saunas alongside a private Russian banya house.
At the table
Dining spans Italian dishes from Arva's open kitchen to an eight-seat hinoki wood sushi counter at Sesui.
It’s a highly personal property, and demonstrates the way Aman skilfully blends localised history and culture with modernity.
How it began
The estate occupies parkland preserved since 1915 by Nai Lert, the entrepreneur who established Bangkok's first ice factory and public transport networks.
“Set within the seven-acre Nai Lert Park, the property offers a sense of calm in the heart of the Thai capital.”
