Thailand's first Park Hyatt hotel to open in Bangkok

The Park Hyatt Bangkok hotel, slated to open in 2014, is designed to be a ‘standout’ on Bangkok’s already-soaring skyline, and features a corkscrew-inspired design which tapers at the top.

Inside, the hotel will offer 222 rooms and 49 suites, with several restaurants including a feature that no high-rise hotel in Bangkok can be without — a sky bar and restaurant that offers guests and visitors views across the city at night. The hotel is part of the luxury retail complex Central Embassy, a building designed by Amanda Levete, the architect behind Selfridges department store in Birmingham.
