The Standard Bangkok Mahanakhon Brings New Levels of Contemporary Sophistication to the Thai Capital

The Standard Bangkok Mahanakhon, the newest arrival to the city’s vibrant downtown, boasts 155 rooms and suites as well as a one-of-its-king culinary program across its six food and beverage outlets.

To conceptualize the uber-social property, Spanish artist and designer Jaime Hayon and The Standard’s award-winning in-house design team delved into the synergy between Bangkok’s melting pot of cultures and free-form artistic exploration. The resulting hotel captures the essence of the Thai capital to perfection, from its fascinating art collection – which includes Heaven’s Gate, a provocative piece by artist Marco Brambilla – to the seductive minimialism of guest rooms and suites.

The new hotel is also a foodie destination; The Standard Grill is a spirited American brasserie inspired by The Standard, High Line in New York’s Meatpacking District (The Standard BKK Wagyu Burger with foie gras is not to be missed) while the 76th floor boasts coveted eatery Ojo by chef Francisco “Paco” Ruano. His Mexican-inspired restaurant draws on Bangkok’s progressive outlook and the venue’s whimsical design, referencing Mexico’s ancient civilisations to deliver flavours never experienced in Thailand or the region, such as aguachile seasonal prawns and bone marrow tortillas, complemented by inventive cocktails and a thoughtful wine list.

You’ll also find contemporary Cantonese cuisine at Mott 32 Bangkok and authentic Thai fare at The Parlour and leave time for a dip in the hotel’s seductive outdoor swimming pool.
