The Standard Bangkok

The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon sits inside King Power Mahanakhon, one of the city's most recognisable skyscrapers, in the Silom and Sathon districts of Bangkok, just one minute from the Mahanakhon SkyWalk. Part of World of Hyatt, the 155-room hotel has earned a place on Condé Nast Traveller's Hot List and the 50 Best Discovery rankings. Its design-led rooms and buzzing food, drink and nightlife scene make it a stylish, central base if you want easy access to Bangkok's BTS Skytrain network and a dance-drink-dine-dream spirit after dark.

The 155 rooms, suites and penthouses give you skyline views over Bangkok, from Standard and Deluxe Kings through to the One Bedroom Balcony Suite with its own private balcony. Every room comes with a rain shower, a well-stocked minibar and the kind of bedding built for a proper night's sleep. At the top, the Penthouse and Premier Penthouse put you in the most space and the highest vantage point in the building.

The hotel's Happenings calendar brings the Standard's social side to life, mixing cultural events and collaborations for you if you want more than a room to sleep in. After dark, The Parlor turns to DJ sessions and live music, while Sky Beach keeps its own nightlife running above the rooftops of Bangkok, both places where your evening is as much the draw as the view.

A terrace pool sits above the Bangkok skyline, giving you a quiet spot to swim and unwind between exploring the city below. The Standard Gym Studio stays open around the clock, so an early morning or late-night workout fits around your own schedule rather than a fixed timetable. Between the two, staying active or simply relaxing poolside is easy whatever the hour.

Seven venues cover every hour of your day. Ojo, on the 76th floor, is the highest restaurant in Thailand, serving Mexican cuisine from Chef Francisco Paco Ruano, while Sky Beach gives you the title-holder for Bangkok's highest rooftop bar. The Standard Grill turns out American steakhouse classics, Mott 32 brings award-winning Cantonese cooking and Peking duck, The Parlor serves Thai dishes alongside live music, Double Standard keeps an all-day pub menu of hotdogs running for you, and Tease pairs an eccentric afternoon tea with cocktails after dark.

Step outside and you are already at King Power Mahanakhon's own Mahanakhon SkyWalk, one of Bangkok's highest viewpoints, with the shops and streets of the Silom and Sathon districts close by. The hotel's central, downtown setting keeps shopping and city life within easy reach, so you never need to look further than the building you are staying in for one of Bangkok's best views.
