The new Ritz-Carlton Bangkok has opened its doors
Ritz-Carlton’s newest property has just opened its doors, and we believe it’s a hotel that will capture the interest of many Marriott Bonvoy members. I for sure cannot wait to try this hotel out!
Details of the New Ritz-Carlton Bangkok
Bangkok stands as one of the world’s top luxury hotel markets, boasting an impressive array of properties known for their quality and value. Now, another remarkable addition joins the city’s lineup — the Ritz-Carlton Bangkok, which opened in December 2024.
Situated in the One Bangkok development on Wireless Road, next to Lumpini Park, the hotel occupies the first 25 floors of a 50-story building. (We do miss the days when hotels were typically perched at the top of skyscrapers instead of the bottom.)
The Ritz-Carlton Bangkok offers all the premium amenities you’d expect from a brand of this caliber in such a competitive city, including:
Below are some more renderings of the rooms at the Ritz-Carlton Bangkok. The property looks stunning, and while Marriott already has a substantial presence in Bangkok, few of its properties feature such cutting-edge design. This could make it a standout choice.
One caveat with Ritz-Carlton properties is the limited Marriott Bonvoy elite perks, as elite members don’t typically receive complimentary breakfast or club lounge access. However, Ritz-Carlton club lounges are renowned for their superior quality, and with Bangkok’s highly competitive hotel scene, perhaps the property will introduce some extra perks for elite members.
Rates & Points Requirements
Nightly cash rates for base rooms currently range from 15,000 to 20,000 THB (~$460-620), depending on the date. While this is on the higher end for Bangkok, promotions and special offers may eventually make stays more enticing.
For cash bookings, we highly recommend using the Marriott STARS program, which provides benefits like complimentary breakfast, a $100 food and beverage credit, room upgrades (subject to availability), and more.
For Marriott Bonvoy point redemptions, nightly rates range from 40,000 to 80,000 points. Additionally, the fifth night free on award bookings can lower the average nightly cost by up to 20%.

Conclusion
The Ritz-Carlton Bangkok, now open as of December 2024, is a stunning addition to Marriott’s portfolio and is likely the most luxurious Marriott Bonvoy property in Bangkok. However, it does come with steep pricing, and Ritz-Carlton properties are not known for offering extensive elite perks.
Given Bangkok’s highly competitive market, this hotel adds another exciting option for travelers seeking a luxurious stay in the heart of the city.
