The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok Debuts in Thailand

The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok, introducing a world-class hotel that offers unparalleled hospitality and immersive cultural experiences. Part of the Luxury Group portfolio by Marriott International, the hotel is set in an alluring 216-meter-high tower at One Bangkok, the largest holistically integrated district and a world-class business and lifestyle destination in the heart of Bangkok. Overlooking the serene lawns and lakes of Lumpini Park, this destination offers a refreshing retreat amidst the bustling energy of the city, transforming guest experiences through intuitive service and unforgettable moments. Here, Thai tradition blends seamlessly with global influence, reflecting Bangkok’s dynamic future.

The visionary architects at Chicago-based SOM and Thailand’s A49 have designed a building facade featuring gracefully ascending open-air terraces that provide sweeping views of Lumpini Park and the city’s skyline. Inside, Thailand’s premier interior design studio, PIA, has captured the past, present, and future legacy of The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok through spaces that evoke a sense of timeless elegance and modern sophistication.

Inspired by the concept of a “Meeting of Two Civilizations“, The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok is a cultural beacon, embracing the vibrant capital built upon a rich and storied heritage. In the 1800s, Thailand envisioned a global future, seamlessly blending its cherished traditions with international influences. Wireless Road, once the enclave of Thai nobility, became a gateway to this new era of travel and exploration. Today, Bangkok radiates worldly charm and The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok reflects this dynamic culture through a refined lens, welcoming guests to a restorative, contemporary oasis. Upon arrival, a grand archway leads to the elegant foyer and The Front Hall, a drawing room adorned with original artwork and black-and-white photographs, evoking the warmth and intimacy of a private residence.

A seamless blend of classic Thai artistry and contemporary design, The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok’s rooms and suites embody a spirit of cultural exchange. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking views, while many guestrooms offer private loggias and terraces overlooking the lush expanse of Lumpini Park. Guests are invited to choose from the spacious 50-square-meter Deluxe Rooms, the exquisitely appointed 102-square-meter Gardenia Suites, or the enchanting 127-square-meter Marigold and Amaranth Suites. Atop the hotel, The Ritz-Carlton Suite crowns the property as a 389-square-meter penthouse, offering an unrivaled setting for the most luxurious of escapes.

Perched on the 23rd floor, The Club Lounge is an exclusive and inviting retreat adorned with locally sourced treasures, offering an atmosphere of privacy and sophistication. Featuring five daily culinary presentations in a serene setting, the lounge is a key element of The Ritz-Carlton Club experience, which includes seamless check-in with a dedicated Club Concierge and bespoke in-room amenities for an unparalleled level of personalized service.

Three exceptional dining experiences transport guests through distinct culinary worlds, each offering its unique take on flavor and atmosphere.
