Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok

Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok is located in the city centre by Lumphini Park, with all the city’s famous attractions just a hop, skip and a jump away. The perfect jumping off point for a private cruise along the Chao Phraya, or the major museums, shops, restaurants and bars of Siam Square, it is also near to the Skytrain station for exploring all that Bangkok has to offer. With 362 design driven, spacious rooms and suites including 131 serviced, residences, housed in a sleek tower, each room is a contemporary retreat with a Thai touch and a neutral colour palette. Triple glazed windows keep noise to a minimum whilst bedrooms feature custom Simmons mattresses, luxury 400 thread count linens and blow-dry stations with mirrors and tongs. In-room manicures are also just a phone call away whilst bathrooms offer soaking tubs and custom HARNN bathroom amenities. There are also minibars packed with health conscious or local treats, Nespresso coffee machines, Vifa Helsinki sound systems and in-room yoga mats. Luxuriously contemporary with a Thai touch, room sizes are generous with even the entry level Essential Rooms offering 48 square metres of living space whilst suites range from 87 – 320 square metres. The largest is the sophisticated Celebrity Suite which is a clean-lined cocoon of luxury crafted from natural materials with wood floors, custom rugs, all the tech you can wish for, local art works and a balcony for enjoying views of the city. For longer stay guests, the Residences offer one to three bedroom serviced apartments, complete with fully equipped kitchens. 

When it comes to relaxation, swim in the expansive infinity outdoor pool, sheltered and hidden within a secret garden on the third floor, work those muscles within The Gym with its Life Fitness and Hammer Strength equipment or take a yoga, Pilates, aerobics of Thai boxing class, among others. Alternatively head to the serene environs of the Amaranth Spa and let them pamper your body and soul with speciality treatments – there are also treatments for the little ones aged from six to fourteen too. There are four wining and dining options ranging from the pet-friendly CRAFT, a café and bar with overlarge windows looking out over the hotel’s gardens. There are speciality coffees and craft beers, even coffee cocktails complemented by an all-day menu of light plates. Stock.Room meanwhile is something a little different with fresh groceries, a menu of street-eats to enjoy or take away with food from six different kitchens with brunch on Sundays and the opportunity to learn new skills from a resident chef and mixologist. Ms Jigger, a cultured lounge with crafted cocktails pared with an Italian menu, follows the adventures of the fabled Ms Jigger who lived and travelled around the Mediterranean. If you love a view, then the tropical styled Bar.Yard offers a rooftop view high up on the 40th floor with elements of a Tiki bar mixed with an American backyard BBQ with Executive Chef Lamberto Valdez Lara at the grill with signature farm to fork dishes to the backbeat of a DJ deck keeping the party on track from 16.00 into the small hours.
