In my recent Dream by Luxury Escapes cover feature Bangkok, we explored the city’s love affair with height — its glittering rooftops, sky bars and skyline restaurants. The new Aman Nai Lert Bangkok offers a thoughtful counterpoint — luxury defined not by metres but by mindfulness. Photographing this property meant seeking depth over altitude — the quiet resonance of space, craft and calm.

Writer Ron Gluckman captured the essence of the property perfectly:

“Bangkok’s hotel scene continues to bubble with brilliant additions. They include another historic property and homecoming for Aman, which launched in Thailand in 1987 with Amanpuri in Phuket. Aman Nai Lert is in central Bangkok on the estate of entrepreneur Phraya Bhakdinoraseth, or Nai Lert. A businessman in the early 20th century, he’s famous for many innovations including the first bus and taxi services. He also opened one of the city’s pioneer lodges, Hotel de La Paix, in his seven-storey trading building on Charoen Krung Road, Bangkok’s tallest building upon completion in 1927.

The new Aman occupies the first 19 storeys of an elegant 36-storey tower offering 52 massive suites, starting at 94 square metres. The Aman Suite occupies an entire floor, with its own gym, cinema and spa. The property features the Aman spin on luxury – lots of art and unique handicrafts, interior pools and minimalist architecture with ample Zen. The food is spectacular, and venues overlook the lush estate that was one of the largest parks in Bangkok.”

Set within the green heart of historic Nai Lert Park, Aman Nai Lert quietly challenges the city’s vertical ambition with a different kind of height — one measured in grace, texture and calm. Designed by Jean-Michel Gathy, it’s a study in light, restraint and Thai craftsmanship, where every detail, from the curve of a staircase to the hush of a corridor, feels intentional.
