Park Hyatt Bangkok features contemporary architecture matched by
luxurious residential interiors, expertly curated art, world-class food
and wine, and refined service, all coupled with a promise to offer
uniquely Thai experiences that reflect the country’s rich culture,
gracious hospitality, and colorful lifestyles.
“We are excited to open Park Hyatt Bangkok in this incredible city that
is full of culture, history and a rich sense of place,” said Michael
Golden, general manager of Park Hyatt Bangkok. “Our goal is to make all
of our guests feel welcome and very much at home with highly
personalized service in a luxurious and sophisticated environment.”
Once the scene of elegant garden parties hosted by the British
Ambassador to the Kingdom of Thailand, the prime corner plot in the
heart of Bangkok is now home to the newest Park Hyatt hotel. The
interior design brief – to create a sophisticated private residence and
sanctuary reflecting Thailand’s rich culture – was eloquently executed
by New York-based Yabu Pushelberg, who also served as the designers of
the brand’s flagship Park Hyatt New York hotel. This is the
award-winning design duo’s first hotel in Bangkok, and they have created
a calm and stylish environment unfolding through a series of unique and
intimate spaces. New York-based AvroKO designed the three uppermost
floors of the hotel’s Penthouse Grill & Bar.
“We found the perfect interior for Park Hyatt Bangkok is when all the
parts – the lighting, materials, space, texture – work as a whole and
you get this sense of calmness, of sensuality,” said designer and
co-founder Glenn Pushelberg.
Park Hyatt Bangkok’s architecture is designed by AL_A, the London-based
studio founded by Amanda Levete and Bangkok-based Pi Design (consultant
architect of record). The hotel and an adjacent luxury shopping mall are
bound together by a continual looped form merging plinth and tower. The
twisted coil forms a three-dimensional figure of eight, a lucky number
in Chinese culture. Drawing on motifs and patterns found in traditional
Thai architecture, the eye-catching façade is clad in extruded aluminium
tiles, creating a shimmering moiré-like pattern. The design comes
together with spectacular views of the bustling, energetic city from
numerous outdoor terraces.
Similar to other Park Hyatt hotels, art is intrinsic to the experience.
Two of Park Hyatt Bangkok’s most dramatic installations were created by
Japanese artist Hirotoshi Sawada. ‘Pagoda Mirage’ incorporates hundreds
of small, conical copper swirls, suspended en masse to evoke the
reflection of a pagoda on water. Equally striking is the ‘Naga’ (Level
9), a series of batons suspended from the ceiling that resembles a
mythical water dragon traveling between the pool and internal waterfall.
As the first Park Hyatt hotel in Thailand, the hotel created industry
buzz well before its opening, earning the ‘Most Anticipated Hotel
Opening’ title in this year’s Travel Top 50 annual survey conducted by
influential design and culture magazine Monocle.
