Overview
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Bangkok is housed within the world-famous MahaNakhon tower, Thailand's most iconic "pixelated" skyscraper. Completed in 2016 and rising 314 meters, this 77-storey masterpiece by architect Ole Scheeren redefined the Bangkok skyline. The residences occupy the floors between the 23rd and 73rd, offering the highest level of luxury service provided by the "Ladies and Gentlemen" of The Ritz-Carlton.
The project is famous for its "Pixel" units, where the architectural cutouts create unique cantilevered living spaces and sky terraces that feel like they are floating above the city. In 2026, it remains the ultimate Trophy Asset in Thailand. Residents live within a mixed-use ecosystem that includes the Standard Hotel, the Mahanakhon Skywalk, and a curated selection of world-class dining, all while maintaining a strictly private residential entrance and facilities.
Developer
Developed by PACE Development and currently under the King Power umbrella, the property is managed as a branded residence by The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company. This ensures a "perpetual 5-star" maintenance standard. Common area fees are at the top of the market (approx. 170 THB/sqm), reflecting the extensive staffing, valet, and concierge services provided.
