The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok is now open. This is the luxury brand’s first location in Thailand and it offers proximity to attractions like Chao Phraya River and the Sukhumvit district along with classic Ritz-Carlton style.
The hotel is housed in the 708-foot tower at One Bangkok and offers guests 260 rooms and suites. This is “the largest holistically integrated district” and serves as a world-class business and lifestyle destination. The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok offers a blend of classic Thai design and contemporary style. Its rooms and suites have floor-to-ceiling windows and many offer private loggias or terraces overlooking Lumpini Park.
The Club Lounge is located on the 23rd floor and offers five daily culinary presentations. The hotel also has three restaurants: Duet by David Toutain serves modern French cuisine; Lily’s showcases seasonal ingredients; and Caleō offers elegant afternoon teas and late-night cocktails.
Other amenities include The Ritz-Carlton Spa, a fitness center, two pools, Ritz Kids Club, and The Ritz-Carlton Grand Ballroom (it accommodates up to 1,200 people).
Tina Liu, The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok’s General Manager, said:
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. 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.”
Tina Edmundson, President of Luxury at Marriott International, added:
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. 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 experience that is both authentic and transformative.”
Award redemptions cost between 60,000 and 80,000 Marriott Bonvoy® points. Cash rates are running between $425 and $575 per night. Bangkok is not the most expensive market and these rates feel right.
Anthony’s Take: I’m happy to have an alternative to the St. Regis Bangkok and would like to check out this hotel in the future. It’s been years since I have been in Thailand and it feels like time to go back.
