The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok Debuts in Thailand

Welcome to Ritz-Carlton Bangkok

Yesterday, The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok opened its doors. This new hotel offers hospitality and cultural experiences. It is part of Marriott International's Luxury Group and is located in a 216-meter tower at One Bangkok, the largest integrated business and lifestyle district in the city. The hotel overlooks the lawns and lakes of Lumpini Park, providing an escape from Bangkok's busy atmosphere. The hotel combines Thai traditions with global influences, showcasing Bangkok’s future.

“The opening of The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok is a pivotal milestone for our brand, as we introduce the finest personalized service and unforgettable experiences to one of Southeast Asia’s most vibrant and culturally rich destinations,” said Tina Edmundson, President of Luxury, Marriott International.

“By seamlessly blending Thailand’s deep cultural heritage with The Ritz-Carlton’s timeless elegance and forward-thinking design, we are not only enhancing the city’s luxury landscape but also offering guests an authentic and transformative experience.”

The visionary architects at Chicago-based SOM and Thailand’s A49 have designed a 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 Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok's past, present, and future legacy through spaces that evoke a sense of timeless elegance and modern sophistication.

The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok celebrates the city’s rich history and culture, inspired by the idea of a "Meeting of Two Civilizations." In the 1800s, Thailand aimed for a global future, blending its traditions with international influences. Wireless Road, once for Thai nobility, became a key area for travel and exploration. Today, Bangkok is full of charm, and The Ritz-Carlton reflects this vibrant culture as a modern retreat. Upon arrival, guests enter a grand archway into an elegant foyer and The Front Hall, a cosy drawing room filled with original artwork and black-and-white photographs, creating a warm, intimate feel.

The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok offers rooms and suites that mix classic Thai art with modern design. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide views, and many rooms have private loggias and terraces overlooking Lumpini Park. Guests can choose from 50-square-meter Deluxe Rooms, beautifully designed 102-square-meter Gardenia Suites, or 127-square-meter Marigold and Amaranth Suites. The Ritz-Carlton Suite is a luxurious 389-square-meter penthouse at the top of the hotel.

Located on the 23rd floor, the Club Lounge is a private and inviting space decorated with local treasures. Five culinary presentations are offered daily, enhancing the exclusive Ritz-Carlton Club experience, which includes personalized check-in with a Club Concierge and special in-room amenities.

Guests can enjoy three unique dining experiences. Duet by David Toutain, led by Michelin-starred chef Valentin Fouache, serves modern French cuisine in a glasshouse. This innovative restaurant highlights the relationship between food and nature using carefully sourced ingredients. Lily’s is a lively restaurant that puts a modern twist on classic dishes with customizable sharing plates. It features engaging elements that make the dining experience fun and memorable. Caleō, meaning "being in love," captures romance and luxury, offering elegant afternoon teas and late-night cocktails with dramatic presentations.

The Ritz-Carlton Spa is a retreat where guests can recharge their minds and bodies. It includes five treatment rooms, a couples' spa suite, and a relaxing pod, plus a state-of-the-art fitness centre. Two sparkling swimming pools, including one for kids, provide refreshing spots to cool off. The Ritz Kids Club keeps young guests entertained with exciting activities.

The Ritz-Carlton Grand Ballroom is the largest in the city and can host up to 1,200 guests. It features nine flexible function spaces for special events such as weddings and corporate gatherings. The ballroom offers pre-function areas and an outdoor terrace, complete with three LED screens for enhancing events.

The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok connects luxury stays to local experiences with special daily offerings. One highlight is the "Defining Moment," where guests can watch the unique "Klong Yao" (Long Drum) ceremony on the Terrace, signalling the start of evening celebrations. Various activities create memorable moments throughout the day. Morning sessions of "Terrace Chi" offer tai chi in the peaceful park. "New Generation" tours give a fresh look at the local art scene, while "Lasting Impression" flower-pressing activities engage young guests. Guests can also enjoy "Golden Hour" cocktails, inspired by Bangkok’s rich history.

“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,” says Tina Liu, the hotel’s General Manager.

“Our stays are designed to create memorable moments that resonate with our guests, paying homage to Thailand’s ‘cultural bloom’ – the evolution from its graceful past to its exciting future.”
