The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Bangkok unveils the height of luxury in the city’s newest and tallest architectural landmark

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Bangkok will showcase spectacular penthouse-style condominiums atop the city’s tallest and most prestigious new skyscraper.
The 194 extraordinary residences are in the dramatic MahaNakhon architectural landmark, soaring 313 metres (1,027 ft) over 77 floors in the heart of Bangkok’s Central Business District. The height of unsurpassed luxury and timeless elegance with special features including expansive terraces, plunge pools and breathtaking ‘Sky Boxes’ with sweeping panoramic views, they will be the most talked-about address in the city with The Ritz-Carlton brand’s legendary service and 5-star amenities.

 

The residences will be one of Bangkok’s most luxurious and prestigious developments when completed in 2014. With highly customized design over single-storey and duplex layouts, they range from 1,200-8,500 sq ft. Distinct features include the Ritz-Carlton Club Lounge on the 53rd floor, full service 24-hour concierge, in-residence dining and food preparations, a fitness center, media theater, game room, spa services and many more.Named after the Thai word for ‘metropolis’, MahaNakhon is a mixed-use development also featuring 10,000 square metres (110,000 sq ft) of luxury retail space (MahaNakhon Terraces) along with signature restaurants, cafes and a 24-hour market.

 

“The height of unsurpassed luxury and timeless elegance with special features including expansive terraces, plunge pools and breathtaking ‘Sky Boxes’ with sweeping panoramic views”

The project incorporates a free-standing seven-storey building called ‘The Cube and outdoor plaza ‘MahaNakhon Square’ – along with a hotel to be operated by Ritz-Carlton.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Bangkok is located within MahaNakhon on 3.6 acres in the heart of Bangkok’s Central Business District with a direct link to the Chongnonsi BTS Skytrain Station between Silom and Sathorn Roads. Strategically located halfway between the Chao Phraya River and Lumpini Park, the location allows effortless access to the entire city and is surrounded by several luxury hotels and residences, grade-A offices, world-class shopping and international standard hospitals.
MahaNakhon is being developed as a joint-venture between the Thai company Pace Development Co., Ltd. and Israel-based Industrial Buildings Corporation PLC. Construction is now underway, with completion scheduled for 2014.


The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Bangkok at MahaNakhon development benefits from its world-class infrastructure. With its distinctive sculptural appearance, MahaNakhon 
has been carefully designed to create an indelibly arresting profile while generating a set of very special features – projecting glass ‘Sky boxes’ with sweeping views and generous indoor/outdoor spaces with plunge pools and oversized terraces – uncommon to high-rise living in global capitals but well-suited to the tropical climate of Bangkok. The ‘pixels’ have been designed to maxmise unobstructed panoramas for the residences offering rare bird’s eye views of the city and Chao Phraya River.
With all these remarkable features, coupled with its outstanding design and prominent location, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Bangkok will surely be the city’s newest residential destination landmark once it opens.

Taller. Higher. Bigger. These words are definitely not from the Olympic motto, but probably the mantra of the many real estate developers behind the very robust property market in Southeast Asia. Construction is everywhere, with skylines in a constant state of flux. Thoughts of economic down turns are far from everyone’s mind with this surge in the property business. In recent trips around the region, I sometimes just look in wonder as new skyscrapers, malls, office buildings, hotels and homes are built. I find it often tempting to just walk into these structures and see what they have to offer. The burgeoning real estate market is reaching fever pitch. I believe that this real estate boom is one of the main factors contributing to the economic growth in the region. There is more disposable income, which eventually translates to increased spending. Whether this spending is done in the malls, in restaurants, in buying real estate or in travel, it is definitely a good indicator of things to come.

Previous Issue :  Exotic Destinations |  September 2011

Growing up, my family loved to go on holidays. As a kid, I would look forward to our yearly road trips during Easter weekends. Whether the destination was a far away province, the beach or some island, it was always a thrill for me. Airplanes were another fascination. Getting onto a plane meant a trip and that meant a new destination, and that meant adventure. I even remember a photo of me at three years old, all dressed up in a pilot’s uniform while on a plane. For my grade school yearbook, I even wrote that I wanted to be a pilot. Every trip was an opportunity to discover: make new friends, have chance encounters, visit local sights and eat unique cuisines. Hopefully there will be enough brilliant ideas in this issue to help you spend those precious vacation days. But then again, a great travel destination transcends vacation days, it is worth the memorable experiences. We also encourage you to write in and share with us your own memorable experiences.  Enjoy the issue and make sure you enjoy your next trip too!

Previous Issue :  Culinary Desires |  June 2011

One of the favorite topics of conversation in Asia is food. Step into any home around the region and the first questionusually asked is, ‘Have you eaten?’ Food is an integral part of our lives. We not only need it to survive, but it is also a social event. Food is almost always shared. Mealtimes are events when friends and loved ones come together, and conversely when people gather, they have toeat. We eat every day, so we might as well do it well. As color brightens life and gives it meaning, spices enhance flavor and make food more appetizing. We center our Food issue on spices.Early civilizations started to cook with spices as early as 50,000 years ago. This comes to show how important flavor has been to food andhow spice has played a pivotal role in how the world has been shaped. If not for spice, most of Asia and the Middle East would not havebeen discovered. Oceans have been crossed, lands have been conquered, battles have been waged, all in the name of spice.

About me

Previous Issue :  Indulgence  |  March 2011

Everyone has to let go once in awhile.We all yield to our desires and whims. The extra fifteen minutes in bed after the alarm has gone off. The chocolate barwhich you know you should not have but relish while watching TV. Or the one too many gin and tonics on a night out when you know you’re already quite tipsy.These sneaky little indulgences add spark to our lives and make us happy.

There are times when I just want to let it all go. To throw caution to the wind. To allow myself unrestrained gratification. Everyone has those thoughts, I’m sure. We  are human and we dream. Of course our better judgment stops us most of the time, but it would be great to indulge once in awhile.
