"...Located at The Ritz-Carlton Bangkok, we invite you to discover the modern art of mixology at Caleō, a chic cocktail bar inspired by six iconic clubs from around the globe. Our expertly crafted drinks and exquisite culinary offerings bring historical tales, cultural legacies, and adventurous spirits to life, all within a setting that reflects a rich tapestry of eras and places..."
Step into the world of Caleō, nestled on the L-level of this luxury hotel in the heart of Bangkok. Here, guests are welcomed with breathtaking views of the vibrant city and an atmosphere steeped in elegance and refined charm. Every section of the bar has been thoughtfully inspired by legendary clubs, each reflecting cultural significance. The vintage-inspired decor, from architecture to the specially selected glassware, pays homage to cultural richness, with intricate details that elevate the allure and liveliness of the space.
Each cocktail at Caleō goes beyond taste, focusing not only on carefully selected ingredients but also on delivering an experience that weaves a deep, captivating narrative. The golden age of travel and service comes alive in every drink.
From the refinement of Yangon’s Pegu Club, which inspires the Elephant Walk cocktail, imbued with aromas of cilantro, mango, and coconut, to the luxurious vibe of the Royal Bermuda Beach Club, reflected in drinks like the Regatta Colada – a Piña Colada garnished with champagne – the sophistication of New York’s The Tuxedo Club can be tasted in the Blue Gardens Martini. Meanwhile, the spirited fun of Miami’s Babylon Club is embodied in the Push It to the Limit, a tangy orange cocktail. The Gimlet Flight, featuring three miniature cocktails, draws inspiration from Rick’s Café Américain, and In Bloom, a non-alcoholic creation, reflects the opulence of Les Deux Magots in Paris.

“At Caleō, our classic cocktails are meticulously crafted, offering deep, balanced flavours that reflect the artistry of the craft. Our signature cocktails draw inspiration from legendary film bars like Casablanca and Scarface, blending in the essence of Thai culture. Each drink highlights local ingredients, such as papaya syrup, to enhance the complexity of flavours. Even our non-alcoholic mocktails are thoughtfully prepared to meet the growing demand for complex yet alcohol-free beverages.”
