The hotel is conveniently located in Bangkok's central business district, between the Sathorn and Silom districts, and occupies the striking King Power Mahanakhon Building, a 78-story mixed-use building and one of the tallest in Thailand. It is also within easy reach of Bangkok's Old City with its numerous cultural attractions and the district that has recently become a popular meeting place for the city's dynamic creative scene. Reflecting the distinctive energy of the Thai capital, the hotel embodies The Standard brand philosophy – "Anything but standard" – throughout the entire property.

After years of delays, the American boutique hotel chain Bangkok has finally celebrated its grand opening. Ahead of its official launch at the end of the month, the hotel unveiled its exclusive Mexican restaurant, Ojo Bangkok – the first of six restaurants and bars – on the 76th floor. Alongside the chain's highest restaurant, The Standard, the Bangkok Mahanakhon offers lifestyle enthusiasts a total of 155 stylish rooms, the Hong Kong-based Cantonese restaurant Mott 32, and a diverse entertainment program that invites guests to explore the hotel in the heart of the city.

With 155 rooms, The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon will become the brand's flagship in Asia. Designed by Spanish artist and designer Jaime Hayon in collaboration with The Standard's award-winning in-house design team, the hotel's vibrant colors, flowing forms, rotating art installations, and lush greenery that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor spaces represent a distinct aesthetic departure from other luxury hotels in the city.

In addition to stylishly furnished rooms and suites, the hotel offers an outdoor pool on the terrace (with The Standard's signature lively pool scene), Bangkok's most modern gym with memberships for the local community, and meeting and event spaces. As with all Standard hotels, you'll find a diverse selection of restaurants, lounges, bars, and nightlife, including the first international branch of the renowned Standard Grill and Thailand's first branch of the acclaimed Mott 32. Beyond the restaurants themselves, The Parlor is a vibrant gathering place with music and entertainment, where you can enjoy snacks and cocktails, while the imaginatively designed tea room offers delicacies found nowhere else in Bangkok. On the rooftop is Ojo, a Mexican-inspired restaurant helmed by one of Mexico's best young chefs. Guests also enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the city from Bangkok's highest open-air beach. On the ground floor, the shop offers a carefully curated selection of local and international fashion, travel items, and home accessories, as well as exclusive collaborations. Everything will live up to The Standard's promise of being anything but that.

This stunning new hotel in The Standard's portfolio will proudly join the brand's award-winning flagship properties in the US and Europe, The Standard, High Line and The Standard, London, and will provide a perfect contrast to The Standard's waterfront resorts in Miami, the Maldives and Hua Hin, as well as the soon-to-be-opened Standard Hotel in Ibiza, which is also scheduled to open this spring.
