Overview
The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok is a masterpiece of waterfront living and the crown jewel of the ICONSIAM development. Completed in 2019 by MQDC, this 52-storey tower is the first of its kind in Southeast Asia, offering 146 ultra-luxury homes managed by the legendary Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. It is designed to be an "urban sanctuary," combining the privacy of a home with the world-renowned service of the Mandarin Oriental brand.
The project is famous for its 100% river-view guarantee, where every single unit overlooks the "River of Kings" through floor-to-ceiling glass. Interior designs by Joyce Wang feature 3.2-meter ceilings and bespoke materials. Residents enjoy an elite lifestyle that includes signing privileges at the historic hotel across the river and access to the Fans of M.O. global recognition program. In 2026, it remains the most prestigious riverside address in Bangkok.
Developer
Developed by The ICONSIAM Superlux Residence Corporation (MQDC), the project carries a 30-year structural warranty, a signature of MQDC's commitment to quality. The building is managed directly by Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, ensuring that the 5-star service standards are maintained indefinitely. Maintenance fees are high (estimated at 120-150 THB/sqm), reflecting the staff-to-resident ratio and valet services.
