The elegant hotel is the crown jewel of One Bangkok— the city’s newest development along historic Wireless Road—paving the way for the city’s cultural revolution.
Less than a year old, The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok is already setting high standards in a city that is rich in culture, history, and indelible 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.
“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.”
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. Art deco coves frame placid park views and the daily bustle of Bangkok’s streets, with black and white marble exuding old world glamour.
It has always been the mark of a Marriott International property to integrate the local culture into their design, and they did this ambiguously through tasteful, understated touches. The elegant arches are a throwback to the grand homes that lined mid- 20th century Wireless Road.
The water installation in the lobby features blown glass fashioned into globe amaranths— an ornamental flower that symbolizes everlasting love and often used as temple offerings— its unique shape and shadow reflecting off the pool’s rippled water. The hotel draws inspiration from its location’s history as the former enclave of Thai nobility, as well as the hub of technology and exploration where Thailand’s first radio transmitter station was built.
Guests can 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.
