Park Hyatt Bangkok’s

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.

The interior design of the Park Hyatt Bangkok was carried out by the internationally renowned design firm Yabu Pushelberg. The firm is known for its luxurious and sophisticated designs, and has completed other landmark hotels and resorts around the world. 

For the Park Hyatt Bangkok, Yabu Pushelberg drew inspiration from the culture and traditions of Thailand, incorporating a range of local materials and textures throughout the hotel. The design features clean lines, neutral tones, and a restrained use of color, giving the property an understated yet elegant atmosphere.

The hotel's 222 guest rooms and suites are designed with natural wood finishes, geometric patterns, and a blend of contemporary and traditional Thai elements. The hotel also features several dining and drinking outlets, including a rooftop bar, a whiskey bar, and a French-inspired restaurant with an open-air terrace.

Park Hyatt Bangkok was developed by Central Embassy, a luxury shopping mall developer owned by the Central Group, one of Thailand's largest retail conglomerates. The hotel is part of the larger Central Embassy complex, which includes luxury shopping, dining, and entertainment faci7lities. The project was designed by the world-renowned architecture firm, AL_A, led by award-winning architect Amanda Levete. The hotel's interiors were designed by Yabu Pushelberg, a leading interior design firm that is known for its work on many luxury hotels and residences around the world.
