The house
The StandardRetro-futurist design manifesto
Curved jewel-tone furnishings and bespoke rattan canopies set an energetic tone across the lower floors of Bangkok's pixelated skyscraper.
“Venture up the building via a psychedelic lift, to the flexible fourth-floor, and the Parlor is the hotel's main social hub.”
What it’s good at
Exceptional
Jaime Hayon sculpted retro-futurist interiors with fluid curves, bold jewel tones, and terrazzo bathrooms throughout.
Notable
Sweeping floor-to-ceiling city views accompany automated drapes, Bang and Olufsen speakers, and soaking tubs in most rooms.
Notable
Venues from Sky Beach to The Parlor host sunset cocktails, DJ sessions, and lively bingo nights.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, The 50 Discovery, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
the design, by the Spanish-Italian Hayon Studio, is cosmopolitan in the best way, as befits a brand that’s finally realizing global ambitions.
“Instead of the fresh orchids and hallways lined with Thai latticework, this hotel-and-hangout has furnished its perch on the lower half of the pixel-twisted King Power Mahanakhon tower with a riot of curved corners, bold patterns, and eye-popping shades.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Direct walkway access connects the tower to Chong Nonsi BTS station, placing the vibrant street life of Silom right outside.
The rooms
Full-height windows frame skyline views, while curved mustard velour seating, terrazzo bathrooms, and automated drapes shape the playful spaces.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The sixth-floor outdoor pool curves across the terrace, surrounded by yellow striped parasols and a whirlpool jacuzzi.
The gym
Peloton bikes and CLMBR vertical climbers fill the 24-hour gym, which connects to a scarlet-tiled steam room.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Venues range from 76th-floor Mexican dining at Ojo to graphic afternoon tea at Tease and open-air cocktails at Sky Beach.
It’s a five-star with a vibe Bangkok’s hotel scene was still missing, swapping out the predictably serene, Thai-inspired interiors...
How it began
Ole Scheeren designed the 78-story pixelated tower, which became home to the brand's playful Asian flagship when it opened in 2022.
“This sci-fi-feeling downtown joint takes funky décor, a cool crowd and a fast-and-furious lifestyle to celestial heights in the hedonistic city.”
