Essentials

The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok is a new luxury tower at 189 Wireless Road in Lumpini, introduced in a Marriott press release in January 2025. It stands in the Lumpini Park area, and the rail link is the MRT rather than the BTS.

Wireless Road carries heavy traffic, so the train or a taxi suits most trips.

Overview

Marriott’s 2025 press release gives 260 keys, with Deluxe Rooms of 50 m2 and suites of 102 to 127 m2. Rooms of this size leave space to move around with a walking aid or a suitcase open on the floor. The Club Lounge is on the 23rd floor and offers food and drink presentations through the day, five times a day, according to the hotel’s Club page.

A new hotel suits guests who want current rooms and a spa under the same roof. It is less suited to anyone planning to use the BTS every day, because the station is a longer trip than the MRT.

The luxury hotels in Ploenchit and Ratchadamri guide sets it beside the older hotels along the same road.

Tip: Ask the hotel which MRT entrance to use when you arrive, and whether the route runs underground, before you walk it with luggage.

Food and drink

Duet by David Toutain

The hotel’s dining page lists Duet as the French fine-dining restaurant, a place for a special evening.

Lily’s

Lily’s serves international cuisine and works for breakfast and relaxed meals.

Caleo is the cocktail lounge, and a Pool Bar is also listed.

Amenities

The hotel has two swimming pools, including a dedicated children’s pool, set among greenery, and a whirlpool is listed in the hotel’s FAQ. The spa has five treatment rooms, a couple’s spa suite and a relaxing pod, and there is a fitness centre.

The Club Lounge on the 23rd floor is the quiet place to eat and rest between outings, and it is worth asking whether your room category includes access.
