"...The Ritz-Carlton Bangkok has officially opened its doors, marking a significant milestone in Thailand’s luxury property market. Situated within the dynamic mixed-use development of One Bangkok, this new addition to the Ritz-Carlton portfolio promises an elevated experience for travellers and residents alike, redefining the essence of sophisticated living in the heart of the Thai capital..."
Nestled amidst the serene expanse of Lumpini Park, The Ritz-Carlton Bangkok is more than just a luxury hotel—it is a sanctuary where traditional Thai elegance meets international aesthetics. From its architecture to its interior design, the hotel is a modern interpretation of Bangkok’s cultural richness, offering a haven that blends timeless charm with contemporary allure.
The design of this remarkable property is a result of a collaboration between the globally acclaimed architecture firm SOM (Chicago) and Thailand’s renowned A49. Inspired by the opulent residences that once adorned Wireless Road, the building boasts cascading terraces that provide unobstructed views of Lumpini Park and the city skyline. Complementing the striking exterior, the interiors have been meticulously crafted by PIA Interior, one of Thailand’s premier design studios. The result is an artful interplay of past, present, and future, encapsulating a timeless elegance while embracing modern luxury. Every detail pays homage to Bangkok’s heritage while embodying the city’s evolution into a global metropolis.
The Ritz-Carlton Bangkok comprises 260 luxurious rooms and suites, each meticulously designed to provide guests with an unrivalled experience. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking views of Lumpini Park and Bangkok’s vibrant skyline. Accommodation options include:
- Deluxe Rooms spanning 50 square metres, blending comfort with understated luxury.
- Gardenia Suites at 102 square metres, featuring spacious layouts ideal for both business and leisure travellers.
- Marigold and Amaranth Suites, each 127 square metres, embodying opulence with their refined designs and personalised touches.
- The crown jewel of the property, the Ritz-Carlton Suite, is a sprawling 389-square-metre penthouse offering panoramic views, bespoke furnishings, and the ultimate in privacy and sophistication.
On the 23rd floor, The Club Lounge provides an intimate retreat for guests seeking exclusivity. With personalised check-in services, bespoke concierge assistance, and five culinary presentations daily, this is the epitome of tailored luxury. The hotel is also home to three exceptional dining venues, each delivering unique gastronomic experiences:
- Duet by David Toutain: Under the stewardship of Michelin-starred chef Valentin Fouache, this restaurant celebrates the harmony of French culinary artistry and natural ingredients.
- Lily’s: A vibrant and interactive dining space offering reimagined classics, with customisable sharing plates designed for convivial gatherings.
- Caleō: A sophisticated lounge where guests can savour signature cocktails and indulgent afternoon teas, all while taking in the stunning cityscape.
The Ritz-Carlton Bangkok also excels in providing relaxation and wellness facilities. The Ritz-Carlton Spa features five treatment rooms, including a couple’s suite, offering bespoke therapies that embody serenity. Two swimming pools, one for families and another for adults, provide idyllic spots for leisure, while a state-of-the-art fitness centre caters to health-conscious guests. For special occasions, the hotel offers The Ritz-Carlton Grand Ballroom, the largest in Bangkok, accommodating up to 1,200 guests. Designed to host grand weddings, exclusive celebrations, and various corporate events.
From its compelling narrative, it is no exaggeration to state that The Ritz-Carlton Bangkok transcends the role of a mere super-luxury hotel. Instead, it stands as an iconic symbol where cultural heritage and unparalleled experiences converge, creating moments that are truly one of a kind.
