A Tranquil Luxury Hidden in the Bustling Heart of Bangkok — A Stay at Nara Aman

In the vibrant and bustling metropolis of Bangkok, there lies a luxurious sanctuary like a paradise on earth — Nara Aman. As one of only three Aman city resorts worldwide, it captivated me with its unique charm, delivering an unforgettable stay experience.

Stepping into Nara Aman, I was immediately impressed by its design. The hotel is situated within the century-old Nara Estate, a precious green oasis surrounded by towering buildings. Renowned designer Jean-Michel Gathy perfectly blends traditional Thai architectural elements with modern minimalist style. The sky lobby features a 12-meter-tall inverted tree sculpture adorned with 6,000 golden leaves, exuding luxury and artistic flair. Every two floors, distinctive courtyards showcase Zen-inspired dry landscapes, reflective mirrors, or vibrant floral arrangements, creating scenic views at every turn.

With 52 suites starting from a spacious 94㎡, paired with floor-to-ceiling windows, the rooms offer exceptional comfort. The bedside Pad smart control system manages lighting, curtains, and TV, and allows seamless communication with the butler, adding a high-tech touch. Welcome fruits include the sweet longan, and leaf-shaped chocolates are exquisitely crafted; thoughtful nighttime surprises like Thai puppet dolls and eye patches add a personal touch.

The dining experience is equally impressive. Four specialty restaurants and the rooftop AMAN LOUNGE cater to diverse tastes. From Thai-Western cuisine at the lobby lounge to healthy light meals by the pool; from exquisite set menus at the Japanese restaurant HIORI to hearty breakfasts at the Italian restaurant ARVA, every dish is full of delightful surprises.

The Nara Estate’s facilities are another highlight, featuring a memorial hall, ancestral shrine, specialty shops, and a Thai cooking school, offering deep cultural immersion. Aman’s attentive airport service ensures a worry-free journey from arrival to departure, and the fun lucky draw gift at checkout adds a playful end to the trip. At Nara Aman, the bustling city and serene tranquility intertwine, luxury and warmth coexist — an ultimate experience not to be missed on any Bangkok visit.
