London, October 2025 – Oriental Residence Bangkok, the first property under the prestigious Oriental Residence brand within the portfolio of ONYX Hospitality Group - a key regional player, and a prominent management company in Southeast Asia, specialising in hotels and resorts, serviced apartments, and luxury residences, is proud to announce it has been honoured with the Outstanding Award in the Luxury Hotel category at the 15th Thailand Tourism Awards 2025, presented by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT).
Nestled on prestigious Wireless Road, Oriental Residence Bangkok embodies refined elegance and timeless luxury. The property seamlessly blends contemporary sophistication with authentic Thai hospitality, offering spacious suites with fully equipped kitchens, world-class dining at Café Claire, and the intimate Oriental Bar. As a proud member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World and recipient of the MICHELIN Key 2024 and 2025, Oriental Residence Bangkok is committed to creating exceptional and memorable experiences for every guest.
Representatives from Oriental Residence Bangkok attended the distinguished award ceremony, where Her Royal Highness Princess Ubolratana Rajakanya Sirivadhana Barnavadi graciously presented the honours. Oriental Residence Bangkok is one of only four properties in Thailand recognised in this elite category, and the only Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) member and MICHELIN Key recipient to achieve this accolade.
The Thailand Tourism Awards, also known as the Kinnaree Awards, have been organised biennially since 1996 by the Ministry of Tourism and Sports through the Tourism Authority of Thailand. The awards celebrate tourism operators who exemplify exceptional standards of quality and service, elevating Thailand's position as a world-class hospitality destination. This year also marked the inaugural Thailand Tourism Sustainability Awards, symbolised by the Green Kinnaree, representing Thailand’s commitment to sustainable and responsible tourism practices.
“We are truly honoured to receive this recognition, which reflects our unwavering dedication to delivering exceptional service and unforgettable experiences,” said Ewan Taylor, General Manager at Oriental Residence Bangkok. “This award is a testament to our team's passion and commitment, as well as the trust placed in us by our guests and partners who inspire us to continuously raise the bar of excellence.”

Each residence features generous living areas and fully equipped kitchens, providing a seamless combination of luxury, convenience, and home-like comfort for discerning travellers. In the heart of the hotel is the recently refreshed Oriental Bar which blends Bangkok’s diplomatic heritage with contemporary flair.
