“Having been in traditional luxury hospitality for the past 25 years, the opportunity to take on the opening of an international design-led, luxury boutique hotel is an exciting one. It is a true privilege to deliver the first Kimpton property in South East Asia,” said Patrick Both. “For me, Bangkok is a truly eclectic mix with something quite literally for everyone - with world-class cosmopolitan lifestyle attractions and intriguing local characteristic, all set amidst a rich cultural heritage. But above all, Thailand’s people with their friendliness, politeness and respectfulness are very close to my heart”
