# Luxurious Art-Focused Hotels The Park Hyatt Bangkok is Attached to a Luxury Shopping Mall By Mary Van Puymbroeck | Published 2017-06-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/park-hyatt-bangkok References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/2017/05/31/park-hyatt-hotel-central-embassy-bangkok/) & [bangkok.park.hyatt](https://bangkok.park.hyatt.com/en/hotel/home.html) The newly opened [Park Hyatt Bangkok](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-park-ave) is the first of its kind in the Thai city. As with Park Hyatt hotels in other major cities, the hotel uses art as a focal point with two installations created by Japanese artist Hirotoshi Sawada. The hotel tower and adjoining luxury shopping mall form a three-dimensional figure eight (a symbol of luck in Chinese culture) when seen from above. The facade of the hotel is covered in aluminium tiles, forming a glistening patterned effect reflective of traditional Thai architecture. With an interior designed by New York-based firm [Yabu Pushelberg](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-marriott-hotel-tokyo), the space is intended to be reflective of Thai culture and customs. The Park Hyatt Bangkok will offer lavish permanent residences and [world-class restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baccarat-hotel-new-york) all with traditional Thai influences. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Luxury Art-focused Hotels:** Hotels are focusing on art installations and reflecting local culture to enhance the guest experience. - **Three-dimensional Building Design:** Hotels are exploring unique building designs with three-dimensional shapes and patterns to reflect local culture and create a distinct brand image. - **Permanent Residences Within Hotels:** Hotels are expanding their offerings to include luxury permanent residences for guests who want to live in the same aesthetic and cultural context after their stays. ### Who This Affects Most - **Hospitality Industry:** Hotels are using art and design to create a unique guest experience and offer permanent residences for guests. - **Real Estate Industry:** Hotels are expanding into the luxury real estate market by offering permanent residences for guests. - **Art and Design Industry:** Hotels are commissioning art installations and collaborating with design firms to create unique and culturally reflective spaces for their guests. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Opulent Culturally-Inspired Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bulgari-hotel-tokyo.md) - [Luxury Retailer Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lv-the-place.md) - [Thailand International Modern Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dib-bangkok-museum.md) - [Contemporary Luxe Thai Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/centara-reserve-samui.md) - [Culturally Specific Retail Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-marts.md) - [Fruit-Focused Hotel Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exotic-fruit-basket.md) - [Elevated Garden-Filled Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-11.md) - [Hotel Art Openings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/claridges-hotel.md) - [Whimsical Urban Hotel Extensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artyzen-new-bund-31.md)
