When it comes to festive celebrations in Bangkok, it’s always true that the early bird catches the freshest worms. So Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok, one of the city’s hippest lifestyle hotels, didn’t wait to jumpstart the joy of the holiday season, coming up with a huge line-up of fun-filled events and indulgent meals that revellers can enjoy as early as now.
Check out these amazing things to do at the hotel, and don’t hesitate to call and make a booking!
Marvel at a five-meter-high sustainable Christmas tree at the lobby
Nothing rings in festive vibes more successfully than a beautiful Christmas tree. Well, it’s Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok, so you can’t expect something simple and plain. Pop into the lobby from November 25 to gape at a towering five-meter-high Christmas tree created by Touché Bangkok.
Instead of using a real tree and plastic ornaments, the hotel utilized sustainable materials, such as fabric and textile waste, to put up an eye-popping display that you’ll have to see for yourself!
Find joy in quirky year-end decor and activities at CRAFT
It’s the holidays and there’s no reason to be so serious. Let yourself go and have a laugh at CRAFT, the café and bar on L Floor. The entire place is now adorned with giggle-inducing sweaters and winter essentials that will bring about a chuckle.
While you’re there, why not load up on freshly baked Christmas treats like fruitcake, yule logs, and many more. If you’re around on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, make yourself available for the Lobster and Bubbles dinner, where you can savor charcoal-grilled Canadian lobster while sipping away on intoxicating bubbly.
The Lobsters and Bubbles event will take place on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve from 18:00 to 22:00. Each meal is priced at B2,199 per person, and includes one whole lobster, unlimited Caesar salad, a glass of sparkling wine, and soft drinks and mocktails.
Take your fill of wonderful white Christmas meals hosted by Ms.Jigger
Bangkok may never see a real white Christmas, but you can still manifest the wonder of such a gorgeous setting at this Italian eatery on L Floor.
On both Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, Ms.Jigger is hosting four-course dinners that feature the restaurant’s special dishes. Come for the Christmas edition to relish olive oil risotto with langoustine and nduja, and slow-cooked veal cheek with Primitivo red wine sauce, or opt for the New Year’s Eve meal, which will be serving Argentinean red prawn tartare and Tortelli pasta.
Each four-course dinner is priced at B4,500 per person, available on December 24 and 31 from 17:30 onwards. Call 0 2056 9999 or email msjigger.kimptonmaalai@ihg.com for reservations.
Indulge in a Christmas market-themed buffet at Stock.Room
They say the best Christmas markets are in Europe, but if travelling west is not an option during the holidays, then make your way to Stock.Room instead. The team at this buzzy grocerant is setting up the place to look like a Christmas market, complete with all the delicious fare.
On Christmas Eve (17:30 to 22:30), come for the all-you-can-eat dinner buffet, which boasts a hearty spread of ceviche, tartare, baked salmon, homemade pasta, seafood on ice, and anything else you may want to enjoy for Christmas—name it and the staff will be on hand to serve your international favorites from live cooking stations. The buffet is priced at B3,499 per person, or B4,555, inclusive of unlimited alcohol.
There’s more to enjoy on Christmas Day (12:00 to 15:00). Treat yourself and your loved ones to luxurious dishes like foie gras, roasted lamb leg, Canadian lobster, and Wagyu Kobe ribeye. The buffet for December 25 is priced at B3,888 per person, or B4,555, inclusive of unlimited alcohol.
Kids under 12 years of age get a special price of B1,199 for both buffet deals.
