Essentials

Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok is a luxury hotel with serviced residences at 78 Soi Tonson, in the Langsuan area. The hotel’s website says BTS Phloen Chit is nearby, and gives no walking time, so treat the station as a short ride or a walk of some minutes rather than a connected stop.

Soi Tonson is a side street off the main roads, so the hotel is quieter than the shopping junctions around Chit Lom. It also sits near One Bangkok, the large development on Wireless Road.

Overview

The hotel’s website counts 360 hotel rooms, among them 97 serviced residences, and the Kimpton page for the property gives 362 rooms. The residences are the draw for a longer stay, with the hotel’s own services behind them.

Pets of all sizes and breeds are welcome in guest rooms, serviced residences, the CRAFT cafe, shared spaces and the garden grounds, according to the hotel’s website. That suits travelling with a dog. It is a weaker match if the daily plan depends on stepping straight onto a train.

The luxury hotels in Ploenchit and Ratchadamri guide compares it with the larger towers nearby.

Tip: Ask the hotel for the walking route from Phloen Chit BTS before you set out with luggage, since its website gives no walking time.

Food and drink

Stock.Room

The hotel describes Stock.Room as contemporary all-day dining, on the 5th floor. It is the default for breakfast and for a relaxed dinner.

Ms.Jigger

Ms.Jigger is an Italian restaurant led by Chef Danilo Aiassa, with a terrace that the hotel opens to pets in the daytime.

Bar.Yard

Bar.Yard is the rooftop bar, suited to an evening drink.

CRAFT is a pet-friendly cafe, and Ruby’s is also listed among the venues.

Amenities

The infinity pool overlooks the Langsuan green space, with an elevated pool terrace beside it. A fully equipped gym is also on site.

Pets, a residences wing and a quieter street are the practical points here. For visitors who walk with care, remember that the station is not at the door.
