Aman returns to its roots with Aman Nai Lert Bangkok

From Phuket to Bangkok – Aman comes full circle with the opening of Aman Nai Lert in Thailand, yet this time, following a distinct urban direction.

This month, the opening of Aman Nai Lert Bangkok marks a significant moment for the brand. It’s a return to the country where the story began 37 years ago, with the arrival of Amanpuri on the shores of Phuket. Back in 1988, little did we know that this resort would go on to reshape the very idea of luxury travel in the future, setting the bar high and never looking back.

Since then, the name has become synonymous with quiet luxury. Its philosophy has gained worldwide recognition by combining a minimalist, luxurious design with discreet yet impeccable service. At every resort, the surrounding landscape and local culture are deeply integrated into the decor, so guests feel like they’re exploring a new culture—though from the comfort and privacy of their own oasis. With 36 properties across 20 countries, Aman offers different experiences, but always in remote, restorative settings, creating some of the most exclusive and luxurious playgrounds for the traveling elite.

Aman Nai Lert Bangkok, however, joins a different lineage. Following the trail blazed by Aman Tokyo and Aman New York, this newest opening represents a deliberate move into the world’s greatest cities. This shift is not only strategic but also symbolic. The new urban hotels are no longer the exception to the hotel group; they are becoming part of the blueprint.

“The opening of Aman Nai Lert Bangkok is a milestone in the group’s expansion into the world’s most iconic cities,” says Vlad Doronin, Chairman and CEO of Aman Group. “Honouring the heritage of Thailand, in collaboration with the Nai Lert family, the hotel, Aman Club and branded residences will redefine luxury hospitality in Bangkok. Providing the exclusivity, exceptional location, generous amenities and unparalleled service that is synonymous with the Aman lifestyle, Aman Nai Lert Bangkok sets a new benchmark for the city.”

Set within the grounds of Nai Lert Park—a rare green haven in central Bangkok—the hotel brings a new sense of stillness to the Thai capital. Its 52 suites, all filled with natural light, reflect the brand’s calming aesthetic, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing views of tropical gardens and the city skyline. Interiors are spacious and soothing, dressed in the soft, neutral tones that have become a signature look of the brand. The zen atmosphere allows guests to completely unwind and recharge amidst one of the busiest city in the world. The feeling one gets here upon entering is a stark contrast to the bustle of the Thai capital. Truly, an urban sanctuary.

Wellness, an essential pillar of the Aman philosophy, takes shape here in a 1,500-square-metre spa offering Thai massages, movement therapies, and personalised treatments. Seven dining and lounging venues round out the experience, from Arva’s Italian classics to an intimate Japanese omakase, each echoing the group’s signature understated elegance

More than a hotel, Aman Nai Lert signals a broader evolution. It strengthens the company’s presence in Thailand while serving as a gateway to its 24 properties across Asia. But more importantly, it charts the way forward, proving that Aman’s DNA can thrive just as fully in the heart of a metropolis as it does somewhere on a far-flung coast.
