Aman Nai Lert Bangkok has opened its doors, marking the group’s second opening in Thailand.
The property finds home in the lush green seclusion of Nai Lert Park, owned by the prominent Nai Lert family and dating back to 1915.
The new 36-storey Aman Nai Lert Bangkok comprises 52 suites and 34 branded residences, alongside an Aman Club, 1,500m² spa and wellness centre, and several venues for dining and socialising.
The hotel’s design is courtesy of Denniston’s Jean-Michel Gathy, who has drawn deeply on the cultural narrative of its location to shape his creative vision.
Local art is central to the aesthetic, with bespoke pieces created in collaboration with Thai artists. A striking 12m-tall tree sculpture for instance, inspired by Nai Lert Park’s century-old Chamchuri tree, rises through a triple atrium on the 9th floor, adorned with 6,000 gold leaves that transition from gold to black. The lobby features an installation of 3,000 spinning tops forming the Thai numeral one, while in the 1872 bar, Chiang Mai artisans have carved a series of wood panels framing handcrafted leather clouds, evoking traditional Thai shadow puppetry.
The hotel’s 52 suites, among the largest in Bangkok, begin at 94m² and feature floor-to-ceiling windows. Each suite draws on a muted palette to foster a calming atmosphere, with spacious living areas all reflecting Aman’s understated elegance. The brand’s signature pivoting light panels allow customisation of the space, creating a semi-open-plan layout between bathroom and bedroom in seconds.
Several F&B venues have been introduced to enhance Bangkok’s burgeoning culinary scene. On the ninth floor, Italian cuisine is offered at Arva, renowned for its emphasis on fresh, seasonal ingredients. Adjacent is the convivial bar, 1872, named after the birth year of patriarch Nai Lert, while The Pool bar on the same floor serves refreshing drinks and light fare, enveloped by the park’s verdant canopy.
The 19th floor, a dedicated space for Aman Club founders, in-house guests and residence owners, introduces two new restaurant concepts from Aman. The first, Sesui, is a masterful sushi omakase experience, and the second is Hiori, an interactive teppanyaki counter.
One of the largest in the city, the property’s 1,500m² spa and wellness centre covers three floors. The spa celebrates Thai healing practices and is complete with eight treatment rooms and Banya Spa House – a private experience with its own steam room, jacuzzi and lounge.
Surrounding an elliptical void punctuated by a century-old Sompong tree, the hotel’s swimming pool invites relaxing afternoons in the dappled shade of Bangkok’s third tallest tree. Elsewhere, steam rooms, saunas, cold plunge pools and hydrotherapy facilities are accompanied by a fitness centre and additional movement studios.
“The opening of Aman Nai Lert Bangkok is a milestone in Aman’s expansion into the world’s most iconic cities,” says Vlad Droning, CEO and Chairman of Aman Group. “Honouring the heritage of Thailand, in collaboration with the Nai Lert family, the hotel, Aman Club and branded residences, will redefine luxury hospitality in Bangkok. Providing the exclusivity, exceptional location, generous amenities and unparalleled service that is synonymous with the Aman lifestyle, Aman Nai Lert Bangkok sets a new benchmark for the city.”
