The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok and Duet by David Toutain

The Ritz-Carlton, Bangkok sits within the One Bangkok district, a new city-within-a-city in the heart of the capital. Its high floors look out over central Bangkok and the greenery of Lumpini Park.

The dining opens with real ambition. Duet by David Toutain brings the acclaimed French chef's exploration of the duality of food and nature to the city, Lily's offers an intimate Thai restaurant inspired by the lily ponds of Thai homes, Caleō is an opulent lounge inspired by legendary social clubs, and the Pool Bar pours cocktails over the park.

For a first arrival in Bangkok's newest luxury quarter, it is a confident, well-fed introduction.
