Tucked along the tree-lined Langsuan Road, steps from the emerald expanse of Lumphini Park, Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok is not just a hotel—it’s a sensorial deep-dive into the pulse of Thailand’s endlessly fascinating capital. Here, where ancient temples brush shoulders with glass-clad skyscrapers, this sophisticated hideaway redefines modern luxury with a creative Thai twist.
Rooted in lamiat—the Thai philosophy of refined, intentional living—Kimpton Maa-Lai is a study in elegance with soul. Its name draws from phuang maa-lai, the floral garlands offered in Thai rituals, symbolising grace, welcome, and care. That spirit blooms in every detail in the property: whether it’s through tactile art installations, handcrafted textiles, or the kintsugi-inspired motifs that whisper stories of beauty. It’s a place where high design and genuine warmth coalesce.
Inside, the hotel is a minimalist’s dream softened by natural textures and contemporary lines. The 360 guestrooms and suites wrap guests in a serene cocoon, offering panoramic city views and plush quietude—a luxe pause in the city’s vibrant thrum.
Yet Kimpton Maa-Lai’s charm stretches beyond its walls. By day, the serenity of Lumphini Park invites languid strolls; by night, Bangkok’s Creative District comes alive with speakeasies, pop-up dinners, and hidden art studios. Our tip? Let the in-the-know staff open doors to the city’s best-kept secrets with a personalised itinerary curated just for you.
Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok isn’t just a place to stay; it’s a bold, living canvas—raw, refined, and relentlessly cool. A haven for the design-conscious and culturally curious, this is Bangkok like you’ve never experienced it: always buzzing, always beautiful.
