The Standard Bangkok hotel, the brand’s first Asian property, opens with Jaime Hayon-designed interiors that draw on local art, folklore and nature
-designed interiors that draw on local art, folklore and natureTwenty-three years since The Standard opened its first hotel in Los Angeles, and changed the course of hospitality ever since, the iconic hotel group has unveiled its first Asian property, The Standard Bangkok, with interiors designed in collaboration with.
Welcoming yet still filled with wonder, The Standard Bangkok brings a fresh twist to its familiar aesthetic. With Hayon at the helm, whimsical notions abound, from the large artisan-made rattan lamps that create a canopy above the main entrance to the shelves in the lobby adorned with porcelain vessels and objects from both local and international artists. The public spaces have been realised in rich swathes of colour and textures to complement the vibrant city location.
‘Art and folklore are a great inspiration in this project. Right when you enter the check-in, immediately you can tell there is a care about the arts. There is a care about the objects. We went around the city selecting objects and elements, and designed things that would be combined with some vintage furniture, created specific kinds of lights and selected pieces of art to be combined together with the colourful and organic interiors. In Thailand, you have this feeling of the jungle and nature.
This extends to each of the 155 guestrooms, the pool on a roof terrace and Sky Beach, the hotel’s rooftop bar .‘With each of our hotels, we learn and evolve,’ says Verena Haller, chief design officer of Standard International Management. ‘To be able to create a flagship hotel in Bangkok, in such an iconic building, was a challenge and journey. We created this property in the thick of Covid, during a time when nobody could travel.
‘I truly believe we created a design and environment that you don’t want to leave and will not be looked at as just a hotel but a restaurant, a bar, a lounge and a gym you want to come to over and over again. More than ever, travellers are looking for an experience, places that inspire and stimulate, for sensitive and thoughtful interactions. With this hotel, we wanted to create a place that inspires and feels like home.
