Opened on July 29th, The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon offers a bold new option for business travellers visiting the Thai capital. Inspired by the spirit of innovation and unconventionality, guests should expect their experience at The Standard’s new flagship Asia property to be anything but standard. 

The hotel enjoys a prime position in the iconic 76-storey King Power Mahanakhon mixed-use skyscraper that dominates the Silom/Sathon central business district, with creative and entertainment districts nearby. Direct access to Chong Nonsi BTS SkyTrain station makes it easy to travel across the city, while both Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang International Airports are just a 45-minute drive away.

A vibrant aesthetic from visionary Spanish designer Jaime Hayon and The Standard’s award-winning in-house design team features bright colours, evolving art installations and lush greenery. The 155 guest rooms start at a generous 40 sqm, rising to a sprawling 144 sqm penthouse. Each is flooded with natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows, with spectacular views over the city. Those working between meetings will be well catered to, with facilities including high-speed wifi, smart appliances and a convenient work space.

When it comes to conferences and events, corporate guests are in for a treat. From themed cocktail parties and show-stopping product launches to private board meetings and memorable team-building sessions, expect inspiring options, innovative presentation and flawless delivery.

Four flexible meeting spaces and function rooms are available, accommodating up to 120 people in a variety of set-ups. Modern business needs are well-supported with state-of-the-art teleconferencing systems compatible with both Apple and Windows operating systems, and superior wifi speeds capable of streaming HD videos while hosting glitch-free Zoom conferences. 

The gorgeous spaces are beautifully lit with natural light, and complemented by an elegant pre-function foyer and an outdoor balcony overlooking Bangkok’s skyline. Meanwhile, back of house the exceptional events team is on hand to offer support and customise solutions to meet your specific needs. 

Dining options at The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon are also set to impress. Experience American steakhouse delights at the first international outpost of The Standard Grill; award-winning Chinese cuisine at Thailand’s first Mott 32; and Mexican delights at rooftop venue Ojo. 

After business is concluded, head to The Parlor to enjoy cocktails, live music and a buzzing social scene, slip into the fantastical tea room, Tease, for unique treats, or head upstairs to Bangkok’s new highest rooftop bar, Sky Beach. Post-work leisure options also include a lively outdoor pool terrace, international fashion boutique, and The Standard Gym one of the most advanced fitness centres in Bangkok – with corporate access. 

“ There is nothing in Bangkok, or the entire region, like what we have created here”, says Amar Lalvani, Executive Chairman for Standard International. “ We love the energy, style and culture Bangkok offers, and our visitors will be treated to the world of immersive hospitality that only The Standard can create.”
