Diplomat Suite at Park Hyatt Bangkok

The exterior by London-based AL_A, led by Amanda Levete, uses more than 300,000 aluminium shingles to create a textured metallic skin.

Yabu Pushelberg designed the contemporary interiors, including the guestroom floors, public areas, dining spaces and wellness facilities.

The hotel is directly connected to Central Embassy, placing it within an integrated luxury retail and lifestyle complex on Wireless Road.

A 40-metre outdoor saltwater infinity pool sits high above Bangkok's central business district among tropical landscaped gardens and terraced lounge areas.

The penthouse includes private pools, a spa room, private gym, home theatre, dining table, kitchen appliances and an outdoor terrace.

Panpuri Organic Spa has eight treatment rooms, a crystal and laconium steam room, whirlpool, experience showers and private changing rooms.

The Living Room and Embassy Room occupy the ninth floor beside the pool terrace, while Penthouse Bar & Grill occupies the hotel's top levels.

Penthouse Bar & Grill is described as a modern steakhouse with a Chef's Table and serves lunch and dinner on Level 34.

The largest event space is a 540-square-metre ballroom with capacity for up to 600 guests in cocktail configuration.

The Parlor on the ninth floor contains five rooms of varying sizes, with theatre-style seating for 20 to 70 people.
