The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok, nestled beside Lumpini Park, Bangkok’s iconic urban green lung, is a refined urban retreat where nature and city life coexist in harmony.
Guided by the concept of Timeless Space, the landscape architecture interprets natural landforms into an artful spatial journey, mounds, mountains, and clouds.
At the lower levels, softly contoured mounds embrace visitors with gentle slopes and garden buffers, creating a quiet, secluded escape from the bustling city. Drop-off areas establish calm from the first step, immersing guests in greenery.
Ascending to the mountain and cloud on the upper levels, terraces and pool areas provide private, elevated settings. Cascading landforms frame sweeping views of Lumpini Park, while layered vegetation merges water, sky, and greenery into an integrated, timeless landscape. Each level encourages reflection, relaxation, and immersive engagement with nature.
