Park Hyatt Bangkok
Outside of Rattanakosin, Bangkok’s historic city centre, the glamour of old Siam gives way to the city’s new face of sprawling malls and towering skyscrapers, and luxury marquees such as the Park Hyatt have chosen to roost at the very top of these buildings. The Park Hyatt Bangkok, for one, looks down on the moneyed streets of Phloen Chit, occupying the ninth to 35th floors of Central Embassy Mall. It follows that all 222 guestrooms and 32 suites here enjoy unobstructed views of the city. Inside the hotel, New York and Toronto-based firm Yabu Pushelburg have chosen to keep the palette soft and neutral. Coupled with custom-made furnishings, natural stone, and soaring ceilings in the lobby and dining areas, guests find themselves cocooned in luxury that whispers, not shouts. The Penthouse Bar & Grill, occupying the top three floors of the building, is where titans of industry brush shoulders with the local high society crowd over pedigreed steaks and elaborate cocktails.
