The 41 Best Hotel Openings of 2022
The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon
The tallest skyscraper in Thailand, the 78-story mixed-use, Tetris-style King Power Mahanakhon Building, is also home to Standard International’s Asia flagship hotel, the 155-room Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon. Here, Spanish designer Jaime Hayon eschewed Thailand’s typical ultra-minimalist aesthetic for Art Deco-inspired interiors resplendent in fluid shapes, vibrant colors, and lush greenery that nod to Bangkok’s melting-pot status and the Standard’s global roots.
