First Look: Park Hyatt Bangkok

Matthew Klint Posted onMay 20, 2017 7 Comments

I’m at the brand new Park Hyatt in Bangkok this weekend and all I can say is WOW.

Hyatt really outdid itself with this property and it isn’t even finished yet. The attention to detail is simply amazing.

I’m a bit sad, admittedly, that I was only upgraded to a deluxe room. Oh, it’s very nice — but I had my hopes up that all the suites in this hotel, having been open for only a week, would not be occupied. Ah, the first-world problem of offering complimentary suites on a space available basis to Globalist members!

Turns out most of the hotel is still closed. The first 6-7 floors of rooms are open, but work is still being completed on the upper floors. The rooftop restaurant and bar is also not open yet.

 

Even though the rooftop bar and grill is closed, there is another bar on the lobby level that is simply beautiful:

There is also a “Living Room” restaurant like most Park Hyatt properties with drinks, afternoon tea, and a selection of food. Finally, the Embassy Room (not pictured) is the hotel’s primary restaurant, serving breakfast lunch and dinner.

The infinity pool is just as picturesque as the stock photos on the website.

I love how the pool area is lush with greenery and has dozens of places to sit in the shade and relax. A poolside menu is also available.

The fitness center is quite large:

That’s the brief tour. I’ll have a full report up after my stay which will reveal more details and include many more pictures. The biggest question we will grapple with: is it worth almost $300/night?

    While I understand your loyalty for Hyatt and recognize Park Hyatt properties are awesome, Bagkok would be the last place I woukd stay in an US hotel chain. Staying in Asian chains or local hotels in Asia makes you really feel the local culture and prices for amazing properties tend to be very low.

    Looks great. Bangkok is a city of hustle and bustle; unlike any other city I have been to. Although I like the Grand Hyatt Erawan, this looks much more tranquil. I look forward to checking it out the next time I am in Bangkok.

    I notice you didn’t mention the location. Does it feel accessible?

    I’ll be staying here in the park suite June 4-6th so I’m excited to check the hotel out. As a note if you want to check out the M suite at the Marriott marquis in bkk I will be checking in on the 28th and your welcome to pop by.

    Breakfast buffets in Bangkok are amazing – lots of international selections. I’m looking forward to your photos of Hyatt’s breakfast choices.

    It’s literally just up the street 2 mins. I was just at the InterContinental a couple weeks ago and you pass it before getting to the IC or the Grand. It’s set off the main drag there about a block.

    It looks beautiful, but it’s hard to give up my IHG free benefits. Maybe the yearly free night if it works out.

    My wife and I both love the Grand Hyatt Bangkok. I wandered to the CX CTO in BKK about a year ago, and saw the Park Hyatt. It’s lovely, but the location is worse and the extras seem unnecessary. Of course, to each their own.

    If you want some fun go downstairs into the Central Embassy Mall and go to the movie theater. Tickets are about $40 but it is a movie experience unlike any other I have been to.

    I am at the St Regis now and waiting until the 26th to move over to the Park Hyatt. I booked an introductory rate at $180/night. $300/night seems steep for Bangkok but no doubt the hotel will get a premium for a while.

@malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire i @malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire its A380 fleet. While not surprising, it is sad to see the growing list of carriers retiring this superjumbo jet. On Malaysia Airlines, I flew the #A380 once from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to London (LHR) and had the entire first class cabin to myself (full review on the blog). It was a beautiful flight that I will always remember.

While I’ve enjoyed catching up on others over the years, now it is time for me to return to Instagram.
