"...The Ritz-Carlton Bangkok marks the beginning of a new era of luxury, solidifying its place as a cultural landmark amidst the vibrant atmosphere of central Bangkok..."

Nestled within the One Bangkok development, a 216-metre-high complex, it comes as no surprise that this venue is brimming with world-class business and lifestyle amenities, reaffirming its position as one of Southeast Asia's most dynamic cultural centres.

The architectural masterpiece was designed by SOM Architects from Chicago in collaboration with Thailand's A49, resulting in an exterior that features cascading terraces with stunning views of Lumphini Park and the city's skyline. Meanwhile, Thailand's leading design firm, PIA, has crafted interiors that reflect the hotel's journey through the past, present, and future, blending timeless luxury with contemporary sophistication seamlessly.

The Ritz-Carlton Bangkok was also conceived with the inspiration of the concept "Two Civilisations as One," which seeks to merge Bangkok's traditional charm with its modern, progressive spirit. This concept is reflected in both the design of the building and the 260 guest rooms, where traditional Thai artistry is harmoniously integrated with modern design elements. Accommodations range from the 50-square-metre Deluxe Room to the 102-square-metre Gardenia Suite, the spacious Marigold and Amaranth Suites, and the luxurious 389-square-metre Ritz-Carlton Suite penthouse.

In addition to its luxurious accommodations, the Ritz-Carlton Bangkok offers an array of unique experiences and services, including three exquisite dining venues: Duet by David Toutain, where Michelin-starred chef David Toutain and Executive Chef Valentin Fouache present modern French cuisine in an elegant glasshouse setting; Lily's, a vibrant restaurant offering reimagined classic dishes with interactive dining elements; and Caleō, a luxury lounge that seamlessly transitions from elegant afternoon teas to enchanting evening cocktails.

The Club Lounge on the 23rd floor provides a private space adorned with local art, personalised services, and five changing culinary presentations each day. The Ritz-Carlton Spa offers five treatment rooms, a couple’s spa suite, and Relaxing Pods, alongside a state-of-the-art fitness centre surrounded by lush greenery. Families can enjoy two swimming pools, including a children's pool, and the Ritz Kids Club, which offers engaging activities for young explorers.

The Grand Ballroom, the largest in Bangkok, accommodates up to 1,200 guests and boasts nine adaptable function rooms, outdoor terraces, and cutting-edge LED displays. This versatile space is ideal for weddings, corporate events, and gala dinners.

“As the first Ritz-Carlton property in Bangkok, we bring local traditions and culture alive through imaginative, immersive experiences, including performances, activities, and artistic journeys”

Tina Liu, General Manager of Ritz-Carlton Bangkok
