What’s nearby?
Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok sits on the tree-fringed edges of Lumphini Park, the city’s biggest and arguably best green space. So-called after the Nepali birthplace of Buddha, it fittingly radiates an aura of zen – expect to see locals practising t’ai chi on the lawn, as couples ride swan-shaped paddle boats across the lake.
Getting around
Both Chit Lom and Ratchadamri BTS stations are a ten-minute walk away, allowing you to zip easily across the city.
Design and character
Raw concrete and polished stone are tempered by soft furnishings infused with Thai elements, including locally made handwoven textiles, to create a minimal, laidback milieu. Expect to see a discerning, international crowd sipping coffee and Thai beer in the lively all-day lobby cafe, which extends to the pet-friendly gardens.
