In July 2025, I checked into the Corner Suite at Aman Nai Lert Bangkok. Opened in April 2025, the 52-suite ultra-luxury hotel is set within the tranquil Nai Lert Park in the upscale residential Phloen Chit neighbourhood. AMAN NAI LERT BANGKOK With interiors courtesy of longtime Aman collaborator Jean-Michel Gathy and his Denniston consulting firm, the hotel draws its design inspiration from the nearby Nai Lert Park and the family’s all-teak Heritage Home which was built in 1915 and served as the family’s residence until its conversion to a museum which conducts pre-booked guided tours and hosts private dining experiences. Wellness facilities are set on levels 9 and 10. The 29-metre outdoor infinity saltwater pool on the 9th floor features a heated massage jet section and a century-old sompong tree protruding into the space through an elliptical void at its centre, while the fitness centre is fitted with Technogym and Outrace equipment along with complimentary use of a state-of-the-art InBody body composition analysis machine. Set over two floors, the spa comprises treatment rooms offering Aman’s signature Grounding, Purifying and Nourishing treatments; a hair and nail salon; hydrotherapy facilities (steam, sauna, hot and cold plunge); and a medical centre operated in partnership with Bangkok’s Hertitude clinic which offers a variety of treatments, from IV drips to fillers and even botox. The hotel offers a variety of complimentary guest experiences daily, from fitness classes such as Thai Boxing, Rhythm Dance, HIIT and Vinyasa Yoga to cocktail making, tea and coffee discovery and even classes dedicated to spirit houses, Thai calligraphy and plaster doll crafting. This was a very commendable, consumer-friendly departure from the primarily payable approach to guest experiences at the Japanese Aman properties I have stayed at previously. CORNER SUITE Decked in soothing, earthy shades of gray, cream and brown with varied textures of marble, stone and warm wood, the 92sqm Corner Suite offers floor-to-ceiling corner windows with cityscape views, its height accentuated by triple-tiered ceiling moldings with cove lighting. A spacious window-side daybed could accommodate a couple sitting with their souls and soles touching, while a dining table positioned next to the other window is laden with goodies upon your arrival, from welcome champagne in an ice bucket to an ornate gold chocolate block bearing the shape of the sompong leaf (you know, the one shooting through the swimming pool). There is also a wall-facing work desk where you can find a Aman coffee-table book and Aman Essentials magazine. Apart from controlling lighting, temperature and window shades, the bedside tablet summons the hidden flatscreen TV from within the table-top. It needs to be said that the super king size bed is one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever had. The full review inclusive of dining experiences and photographs is available on Secret Life of Fatbacks, a luxury tra
