The St. Regis Bangkok Celebrates a Decade of Exquisite Living With Immersive Experiences and Timeless Rituals

Bangkok, Thailand, 24 March 2021 – The St. Regis Bangkok invites guests and local residents to celebrate its 10th anniversary this April, with a month-long series of immersive activities. To mark a decade of decadence in the Thai capital, Marriott International is showcasing The St. Regis’s storied heritage, which dates from 1904, with a series of signature rituals inspired by Caroline Astor, doyenne of the Gilded Age and matriarch of The St. Regis brand’s founding family.

A prominent 19th Century socialite, Mrs. Astor was the mother of Colonel John Jacob “JJ” Astor IV (from whom the hotel’s beloved teddy bear gets its name), who founded The St. Regis New York as a place to pursue his epicurean passions and entertain the city’s luminaries.

Celebrating The St. Regis Bangkok’s 10th anniversary, guests can follow in Mrs. Astor’s elegant footsteps and engage in the brand’s signature rituals, including a Siam Mary cocktail class (the hotel’s reimagined version of the classic Bloody Mary, which was originally created at The St. Regis New York’s King Cole Bar in 1934), and a private sabering, the ritual adopted by JJ Astor to mark the transition from day to evening.

Once considered a glamorous gathering for the city’s high society, afternoon tea was a favorite pastime of Mrs. Astor, who transformed the occasion into a private social event for 400 personally invited guests. Today, Time for Tea remains a quintessential tradition of The St. Regis. In honor of Mrs. Astor, The St. Regis Bangkok has created a special “Caroline’s Afternoon Tea”, which will be available throughout April and May.

Curating every guest experience and conveying the comforts of a luxury home, the iconic St. Regis Butlers will offer exclusive services, such as packing and unpacking, signature beverage services, garment pressing and more, as they have done for over a century.

“More than a century since The St. Regis was founded in New York, its legacy of impeccable services and spirit of innovation is kept very much alive at 45 hotels and resorts around the world, including at The St. Regis Bangkok – the finest address in the city,” said Klaus Christandl, General Manager, The St. Regis Bangkok.

“As we look back at the past decade, we can feel proud to have set new standards of service in a Kingdom already famed for its hospitality. I am truly grateful for the trust of our guests, the
support of our partners, and the hard work of our team. We look forward to continuing to provide truly inspiring and exquisite experiences for the next 10 years and beyond,” he added.

  • Cheers to 10! Rates start from THB 10,000++ for a Caroline Astor Suite, and from

Disco Sazerac: Named after Studio 54, the most notorious nightclub of the 1970s disco era, whose guests included Rick James, David Bowie and Andy Warhol. A light-hearted twist on the classic whisky cocktail which imbibes the spirit of extravagance for which the club was famous.

The Swing of Renaissance: A true tiki classic taken to the next level with refreshing tropical juices. Named after the “Harlem Renaissance”, a period in the 1920s and 1930s which saw an outpouring of artistic work in the African-American community, and 133rd Street – “Swing Street” – known for its cabarets, speakeasies and the jazz scene during the Prohibition era.
