Park Hyatt Bangkok

"At Park Hyatt Bangkok, the rooms and common areas were designed by the firm Yabu Pushelberg, which focused on clean, stark lines. The hotel has the feel of an art gallery, where striking design elements surprise you but nothing gets in the way. The Penthouse Bar & Grill, which spans three upper floors of the building, was designed by the famous New York firm of AvroKo. The idea was to turn one seamless space into five separate venues with marble, ebony, gold accents, and British antique stylings. You're pointed to the hotel entrance by a series of discrete signs in gold lettering, where lifts take you to the beautiful 10th floor lobby decorated in cream and white and accented with simple, bold artworks, also in gold. Even the sleek, sculpted reception desk looks like modernist art. The rooms are beautiful, and the bathrooms feel like spas." - Jenny Adams

"Authenticity is key with Catalan fare from a Catalonian chef. Chef Ferran Tadeo, formerly of El Bulli and Minibar, showcases his heritage and family recipes using fine local and international ingredients. The private room is perfect for intimate gatherings, while outdoor seating offers views of the sky garden and pool. The signature Lobster Wellington is the pièce de résistance. And there’s a wine list of over 100 labels from seven regions for Spanish wine aficionados." - Michelin Inspector

"Towering above the Phloen Chit district, the Yabu Pushelberg–designed Park Hyatt Bangkok was an instant hit when it opened on the top floors of the Central Embassy building in 2017. Its rooms and suites, all slightly different in size and layout due to the curves of the building, are soothingly neutral with touches of orange and contemporary Thai art. They come with spa-like bathrooms stocked with bergamot-scented Le Labo toiletries, while floor-to-ceiling windows frame dazzling downtown views. Penthouse Bar + Grill, the rooftop hangout designed like a swanky bachelor pad Jay Gatsby would’ve loved, is a solid spot for sundowners. Since mid-2022, the Embassy Room downstairs turns into a Spanish diner after breakfast and dishes up Catalan fare such as octopus with sofrito sauce and trinxat potato mash with Iberico pork. And if you’re after more options, the food courts and restaurants of Central Embassy, one of Bangkok’s chicest malls, are only an elevator ride away." - Chris Schalkx

"How did it strike you on arrival?The hotel’s personality is spelled out by the stores in the mall it’s connected to—all upscale, all chic. You’re pointed to the hotel entrance by a series of discrete signs in gold lettering, where lifts take you to the beautiful 10th floor lobby decorated in cream and white and accented with simple, bold artworks, also in gold. Even the sleek, sculpted reception desk looks like modernist art. Nice. What’s the crowd like?Business types, vacationing couples, and families. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.My Deluxe Corner Suite was the definition of mod Thai chic—all clean lines subtly accented with Thai touches, like a lotus pattern engraved above the bathtub and drapes in Thai silk. Plush lime-green rugs dressed the light wood floors. A narrow hallway led to the curved bedroom, which had a work desk, an armchair, a minimalist TV on a stand, floor-to-ceiling windows—and a gorgeous unblocked view of the city. We’re craving some deep, restorative sleep. They got us?I don't remember anything after hitting the pillow—the bed brought sleep on like a dream! How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Any of that find its way into your suitcase?The Thai touches included an adorable lotus-shaped lamp that I would totally grab if no one was watching. Please tell us the bathroom won’t let us down.The bathroom was huge and felt like an exclusive spa, thanks to the muted lighting and minimalist fittings. The shower area was spacious enough for four. Very plush robes. The products were Park Hyatt’s usual—delicious-smelling La Labo toiletries. Maybe the most important topic of all: Wi-Fi. What’s the word?Super speedy and free! Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you.There’s a 130-foot tree-lined infinity pool on the ninth floor. The hotel is in a complex crammed with drinking and dining joints, like the Penthouse Bar & Grill on the 36th floor that offers panoramic views of the Thai capital. What was most memorable—or heartbreaking—about your stay?Simply chilling out in what must be one of the most beautiful accommodations in Bangkok. Bottom line: worth it, and why?It’s pricey, but the Park Hyatt Bangkok offers top-notch luxury in a prime spot connected to the exclusive Central Embassy mall and Ploen Chit BTS station. The latter’s just a couple stops from the popular Siam Square area." - Audrey Phoon

"The Chicken Oyster, Green Apple, Butterfly Pea & Sea Grape features chicken oyster creatively served in an oyster shell. A touch of sweetness and tanginess is added through the use of green apple and pockets of juicy sea grape, while the butterfly pea provides an intriguing purple hue. Paired with the sweet, zesty flavour and herbal aroma of the Mekhong Thai Sabai The Revelation Edition, the combination helps to whet the appetite—a pairing most appropriate for the first meal on such a special evening." - Michelin Guide Thailand Editorial Team
