Rest, Revel, Repeat: 3 Coolest Stays in Asia

A memorable trip is as much about where you stay as where you go. The right hotel doesn’t just give you a bed for the night—it frames your experience, shapes your mood, and leaves you with moments worth remembering long after checkout.

Across Asia, a new generation of stays is redefining what a hotel can be: part playground, part sanctuary, part cultural lens. Here are three standout picks, each in a different city, offering their own distinct take on design, luxury, and local spirit.

The Standard, Bangkok, Thailand

Rising from the iconic King Power Mahanakhon tower, The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon sets the tone for bold city living. With 155 rooms ranging from compact havens to lavish penthouses, the hotel balances comfort with spectacle. Its dining lineup is as dazzling as its skyline views, with Mott 32’s refined Chinese cuisine, the vibrant Standard Grill, and Ojo, a modern Mexican rooftop standout. Add in the rooftop observatory, skywalk access, buzzing bars, and social spaces designed for mingling, and you have a destination that feels like Bangkok distilled into one dynamic address.
