Mistakes are forgotten and wishes realised at this luxe Thai hotel
Each autumn on the evening of a full moon, thousands of glowing lanterns are launched across Thailand's rivers as part of the festival of Loy Krathong. Their senders? Locals who believe the homemade offerings represent mistakes of the past and wishes for the future. It is a 100-year-old celebration of promise: let go of negative energy and be rewarded with good fortune by the river gods. The very act of releasing a lantern is a way to send your problems away. A nod to the ancient ritual awaits you at Aman Nai Lert Bangkok, the latest offering from the luxury hotel group which welcomed its first guests in April. The glinting lanterns, known as krathongs, float below a life-like tree sculpture in the lobby – a sight matched only by the century-old Sompong tree the hotel is built around. Its lush branches form a canopy over the ninth-floor infinity pool, in sharp contrast with the capital's skyscrapers. With 52 suites, a spa and wellness centre spanning three levels and a design focus rooted in nature, to stay here is to partake in a transformation of sorts; shake off the weariness and step into the best version of yourself. Of course, it will cost you at $1689 a night. Pegged as an urban sanctuary in the cult-followed Aman portfolio – the third of its kind after Aman Tokyo and Aman New York – Aman Nai Lert Bangkok is set in the cosmopolitan Phatum Wan district and feels distinctly appropriate for the $1 trillion wellness travel-sphere we find ourselves in. Here, luxury is about substance over show. It is about turning inwards to reach your full potential. A holistic endeavour for those whose lives are ruled by a Google calendar, and who already have access to infrared saunas, personal trainers and therapists. Jean-Michel Gathy's architecture firm Denniston was tasked with designing the hotel around the memory of Thai tycoon Lert Sreshthaputra (better known as 'Nai Lert'), from whom the current owners descend. 'It's always a delicate balance between innovation and restraint. Everything must be subtle and refined,' says David Schoonbroodt, Denniston's senior interior designer.
