The Standard opens in Mahanakhon today. Here’s a peek inside. (Photos)

It has been a long, long wait for The Standard Bangkok Mahanakhon, but the whimsical luxury brand today finally opens its doors. 

The rooms: Boasting 155 rooms from 40 to 144sqm, visitors can look forward to modern but stylish vintage orange tones and low-to-mid-level city views throughout — as well as a hanging mid-room TV and a smart toilet. Expect soaking tubs, rain showers, and a convenient bedside light control system that a lot of hotels could learn from. 

The vibe: The ’60s retro color scheme smacks you in the face as soon as you step on the elevator. This theme continues through the hallways and dining venues — but always in different ways. The lobby and main hall is very bold and bright like a mix of The Jetsons and Soul Train, but the hallways to the rooms go a bit more moody and heavy, like a cruise ship.
