"While one of the Thai additions is The Ritz-Carlton Bangkok, set to bring 259 rooms online in Q2 2025. Together with Andaz One Bangkok, the hotel will occupy a planned 50-storey tower in The One Bangkok lifestyle development. The Ritz-Carlton Bangkok will take up the first 25 floors of the building and feature one of the largest ballrooms in Thailand, four restaurants and bars, as well as extensive spa and fitness facilities."

Wow they timed this one beautifully, with the market for luxury condos in Bangkok heading right into the toilet.

But I can't imagine the hotel residences are doing any better than the broader market, as it's a much more specific (and expensive) niche. It's hard to get accurate information from the media about what's really happening with the Thai market (as they tend to publish only developer-fed puff pieces), but in SF the news recently leaked that FS had sold only 13 of 146 residences in the two years they've been on the market: https://www.sfgate.com/local/article...d-17539420.php. I know anecdotally that many Thai projects have been paused due to lack of sales.

The chances of getting a decent internet connection at the Ritz-Carlton - when it finally opens - should be fairly good.

I was speaking in general, with reference to the entire project.

"Everything announced for One Bangkok
There has been no shortage of buzz around One Bangkok since it first launched in 2018. And the site next to Lumphini Park continues to spring up from the ground. With buildings now visible, many are wondering what will actually be there when its first phase opens during the early parts of 2024. Those details remain scarce.The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Bangkok
Of everything to be announced at One Bangkok, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Bangkok is the one thing set in stone. This will be the first Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Thailand’s Capital and is slated to open as part of the first phase. It will be located in the lower half of a 50-story tower and contain 259 rooms.".https://interestingasia.com/2023/04/...or-one-bangkok

Ritz-Carlton hotel in One Bangkok (scheduled to open in 2024)
.
Despite all the skepticism, this property should open its door within a year or so and it will be branded as a "Ritz-Carlton".
The opening of the Ritz-Carlton One Bangkok, described as an "urban resort", was in fact scheduled for the end of the first quarter of 2024 (originally planned for 2023), but it will most probably be delayed.

Maybe I’ll be proven wrong, but struggle to see how a hotel in a skyscraper will pull off ‘urban resort’! I am a big fan of the concept generally and hope they succeed, I split my Bangkok stays between Capella and the Sukhothai these days precisely because of that vibe. I have a feeling it will end up more like the Kimpton which has some nice greenery outside but the lobby feels like you are walking through Grand Central Station…

The pre-opening (still a long way from the soft opening) should start in a couple of months, with a General Manager that has already been hired.

Guests at the W Bangkok will probably recognize the Ritz-Carlton One Bangkok General Manager that will open the hotel.
