Influenced by the tradition of grand Thai
residences on Wireless Road, the innovative, 260-key hotel
overlooking Lumpini Park leads the city's cultural
evolution
BANGKOK, Jan. 8, 2025
/PRNewswire/ -- Today marks the highly anticipated debut of The
Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok, introducing
a world-class hotel that offers unparalleled hospitality and
immersive cultural experiences. Part of the Luxury Group portfolio
by Marriott International, the hotel is set in an alluring
216-meter-high tower at One Bangkok, the largest holistically
integrated district and a world-class business and lifestyle
destination in the heart of Bangkok. Overlooking the serene lawns and
lakes of Lumpini Park, this destination offers a refreshing retreat
amidst the bustling energy of the city, transforming guest
experiences through intuitive service and unforgettable moments.
Here, Thai tradition blends seamlessly with global influence,
reflecting Bangkok's dynamic
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 experience that is both authentic and
transformative."
The visionary architects at Chicago-based SOM and Thailand's A49 have designed a building 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 past, present, and future legacy of
The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok through
spaces that evoke a sense of timeless elegance and modern
sophistication.
Inspired by the concept of a "Meeting of Two
Civilizations", The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok is a cultural beacon, embracing the
vibrant capital built upon a rich and storied heritage. In the
1800s, Thailand envisioned a
global future, seamlessly blending its cherished traditions with
international influences. Wireless Road, once the enclave of Thai
nobility, became a gateway to this new era of travel and
exploration. Today, Bangkok
radiates worldly charm and The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok reflects this dynamic culture through
a refined lens, welcoming guests to a restorative, contemporary
oasis. Upon arrival, a grand archway leads to the elegant foyer and
The Front Hall, a drawing room adorned with original artwork and
black-and-white photographs, evoking the warmth and intimacy of a
private residence.
A seamless blend of classic Thai artistry and contemporary
design, The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok's rooms and suites embody a spirit of
cultural exchange. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking
views, while many guestrooms offer private loggias and terraces
overlooking the lush expanse of Lumpini Park. Guests are invited to
choose from the spacious 50-square-meter Deluxe Rooms, the
exquisitely appointed 102-square-meter Gardenia Suites, or the
enchanting 127-square-meter Marigold and Amaranth Suites. Atop the
hotel, The Ritz-Carlton Suite crowns the property as a
389-square-meter penthouse, offering an unrivaled setting for the
most luxurious of escapes.
Perched on the 23rd floor, The Club Lounge is an
exclusive and inviting retreat adorned with locally sourced
treasures, offering an atmosphere of privacy and sophistication.
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 for an
unparalleled level of personalized service.
Three exceptional dining experiences transport guests through
distinct culinary worlds, each offering its unique take on flavor
and atmosphere.
Duet by David Toutain, led
by the eponymous Michelin-starred chef and culinary prodigy
Valentin Fouache serves modern French cuisine in a stunning
glasshouse. This innovative concept explores the harmonious duality
of food and nature, showcasing meticulously sourced ingredients and
artisanal produce in a sensorial dining experience. Lily's,
a vibrant and lively restaurant, reimagines classic dishes with a
contemporary twist, offering customizable sharing plates that cater
to groups of all sizes. Interactive elements engage diners,
creating dynamic and unique culinary memories. By day or night,
Caleō - derived from the Latin for 'being in love' -
captures the essence of romance and indulgence. Set against
sweeping vistas, this luxurious lounge invites guests to savor
elegant afternoon teas or late-night cocktails, where dramatic,
theatrical libations provide a multi-sensory delight.
The Ritz-Carlton Spa is a haven of tranquility, where
guests can rejuvenate their mind, body, and soul. The sophisticated
sanctuary fosters well-being with five exquisite treatment rooms, a
couple's spa suite, and a relaxing pod, complemented by a
state-of-the-art fitness center designed for invigorating workouts.
Nestled amidst the lush greenery, two sparkling swimming pools -
including a dedicated kids' pool - offer refreshing retreats from
the tropical climate. Meanwhile, young explorers are engaged and
entertained at the Ritz Kids Club, where spirited activities
await.
The Ritz-Carlton Grand Ballroom, the largest of its kind
in the city, can accommodate up to 1,200 people. The dedicated
events floor presents nine flexible function spaces. These
incredible, opulent rooms celebrate special occasions such as
weddings, corporate events, and gala dinners. With pre-function
areas and an outdoor terrace, the main ballroom boasts three LED
screens to bring every event to life.
The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok
uniquely connects both luxurious stays to local touchpoints through
special daily offerings to esteemed guests. Among these, is 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
moving sounds signal the start of evening celebrations. A series of
activities serve as Supporting Scenes to create memorable
experiences throughout the day. Morning sessions of 'Terrace Chi'
tai chi, set against the serene backdrop of the park, invite guests
to start their day with tranquility. The 'New Generation' creative
tours of the One Bangkok Art Loop offer a fresh perspective on the
local art scene, while the 'Lasting Impression' flower-pressing
activity engages young explorers in a hands-on experience. As the
day unfolds, guests can savor 'Golden Hour' cocktails inspired by
captivating stories from Bangkok's
rich heritage."
"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."
