Kimpton’s global expansion continues with the Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok, an impressively localized boutique-style luxury hotel (complete with lavish Thai-style spa) by the well-loved American brand.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set within the lush Sindhorn Village along Soi Ton Son, the property offers quiet garden paths just moments from Lumphini Park.
The rooms
Textured stone and handwoven mats meet oversized bathtubs, framed by floor-to-ceiling windows looking out across the embassy gardens.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The third-floor infinity pool cantilevers over landscaped gardens, looking out across the tree canopy toward Lumphini Park.
The spa
Treatment suites overlook the park, with signature therapies combining HARNN botanical oils, healing gemstones, and Biologique Recherche facials.
The gym
The 24-hour fitness centre includes cardio and weight training, with complimentary Kimpton city bicycles available to explore the area.
Dogs stay too.
Bar.Yard
The 40th-floor rooftop bar serves tiki-inspired cocktails and Latin American street food across an open-air garden terrace.
At the table
CRAFT pours single-origin Thai coffees beside the lily pond, and Ms.Jigger mixes bespoke cocktails over handmade Italian pasta.
How it began
Debuting in 2020, the hotel takes its name from maa-lai, the traditional Thai floral garland offered as a symbol of welcome.
