The
Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok, part of the Luxury Group portfolio by Marriott International, is now open.
Set in a 216 m tower at One Bangkok, the largest holistically integrated district and a business and lifestyle destination in the heart of Bangkok, this destination offers a retreat amidst the energy of the city.
“The opening of The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok is a pivotal milestone for our brand, as we introduce the finest personalised service and unforgettable experiences to one of Southeast Asia’s most vibrant and culturally rich destinations,” said Jenni Benzaquen, Senior VP of The Ritz-Carlton, St Regis, and Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts.
“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.”
Open-air terraces provide sweeping views of Lumpini Park and the city’s skyline. Inside, spaces evoke a sense of timeless elegance and modern sophistication. Upon arrival, an archway leads the way to the foyer and The Front Hall, a drawing room adorned with original artwork and black-and-white photographs reminiscent of a private residence.
A seamless blend of classic Thai artistry and contemporary design, The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok’s rooms and suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows with breathtaking views. Many guestrooms offer private loggias and terraces overlooking Lumpini Park. Guests can choose from 50 sq m Deluxe Rooms, the 102 sq m Gardenia Suites, or the 127 sq m Marigold and Amaranth Suites. Atop the hotel, The Ritz-Carlton Suite crowns the property as a 389 sq m penthouse.
The Club Lounge on the 23rd floor offers privacy in sophisticated surroundings filled with locally-sourced treasures. Featuring five daily culinary presentations in a serene setting, the lounge is a key element of The Ritz-Carlton Club experience, which includes seamless check-in with a dedicated Club Concierge and bespoke in-room amenities.
Three exceptional dining experiences await guests.

Meticulously-sourced ingredients and artisanal produce are showcased in a sensorial dining experience.
Lily’s reimagines classic dishes with a contemporary twist, offering customisable sharing plates for groups of all sizes. Meanwhile, Caleō - derived from the Latin word for 'being in love’ - invites guests to savour elegant afternoon teas or late-night cocktails.
The Ritz-Carlton Spa has five treatment rooms and a relaxing pod, and is complemented by a state-of-the-art fitness centre and two swimming pools.
The dedicated events floor presents nine flexible function spaces. The star is the Ritz-Carlton Grand Ballroom, the largest of its kind in the city, which can accommodate up to 1,200 people. The ballroom is connected to pre-function areas and an outdoor terrace, and sports three LED screens.
The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok offers a variety of local touchpoints, such as the Defining Moment, where guests are invited to the Terrace to experience a new interpretation of a daily Klong Yao (Long Drum) ceremony. Devised by The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok, the drum beats signal the start of evening celebrations.
There are morning sessions of Terrace Chi taichi, set against the backdrop of the lawns and lakes of Lumpini Park; new-generation tours of the One Bangkok Art Loop, as well as Golden Hour cocktails inspired by stories from Bangkok’s rich heritage.
“As the first Ritz-Carlton property in Bangkok, we bring old traditions and culture to life through imaginative, immersive experiences, including performances, activities, and artistic journeys,” said Tina Liu, the hotel’s GM.
“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.”
