The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon will be The Standard brand’s flagship hotel in Asia and the latest addition to the company’s growing global portfolio. The company has announced that the hotel will open its doors to the public on 11th May 2022, and will begin taking reservations on February 4th.
The hotel is ideally situated in Bangkok’s central business district, between the Sathorn and Silom corridors, and is housed in the landmark King Power Mahanakhon Building – a 78-story mixed-use building that is one of the tallest in Thailand. It is also in close proximity to Bangkok’s Old Town with its wealth of cultural attractions and what has recently become the chosen enclave for the city’s dynamic creative community.
“There is nothing in Bangkok, or the entire region, like what we have created here,” said Amar Lalvani, Executive Chairman for Standard International. “We love the energy, style and culture Bangkok offers and couldn’t be more proud to partner with King Power to open our flagship for the region in this awe inspiring building, in this incredible city. When we open our doors in May, visitors and locals will be treated to the world of immersive hospitality that only The Standard can create.”
With 155 keys, The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon will become the brand’s flagship property in Asia. The hotel is designed by Spanish artist / designer Jaime Hayon in collaboration with The Standard’s award-winning in-house design team. The vibrant colors, fluid shapes, evolving art installations and lush greenery that flows seamlessly inside and out mark a sharp aesthetic departure from other luxury hotels in the city.
In addition to thoughtfully appointed guest rooms and suites, the hotel will feature an outdoor terrace pool, a state-of-the-art gym and meeting / event rooms. As with all Standard hotels, there will be a dynamic array of restaurant, lounge, bar and nightlife offerings, including the first international outpost of the renown Standard Grill and Thailand’s first outpost of the acclaimed Mott 32.
In addition to the restaurants themselves, The Parlor will be a constant hub of music and activity offering snacks and cocktails, while the rooftop will house Ojo, a Mexican inspired restaurant directed by one of the finest young chefs in Mexico.
This striking new addition will sit proudly alongside the brand’s award-winning US and European flagships, The Standard, High Line, and The Standard, London, and in perfect counterpoint to The Standard’s waterside retreats in Miami, the Maldives, and Hua Hin, and it’s forthcoming Standard hotel in Ibiza, which is also set to open this Spring.
