Ratchadamri, Bangkok
The Loft is the acclaimed cocktail bar on the 56th floor of the Waldorf Astoria Bangkok on Ratchadamri Road, pairing exceptional drinks with sweeping skyline views. It transplants the glamour and heritage of New York's original Waldorf Astoria into a Bangkok skyscraper and layers on new-wave Asian bar magic. The design is a lavish blend of art deco and art nouveau, entered via a bronze spiral staircase and dressed with rose gold accents, marble, Art Nouveau chandeliers and whimsical touches like a paint-splattered communal table meant to evoke a bygone-Paris artist's loft. The cocktail program, led by Italian bartender Michele Montauti, draws on 20th-century creativity and the historic recipes of The Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book, from the iconic Rob Roy to house creations. Featured drinks include the Lalla Rookh (rum, cognac, rose syrup, lime, egg white, vanilla soda), the Waldorf Claret Cup (cognac, dry curacao, maraschino, lime, soda) and the Waldorf (bourbon, vermouth, chocolate bitters, Thai basil). It was honored with a Forbes Travel Guide Best Bar award in 2025 and is consistently ranked among Bangkok's top cocktail bars. The crowd is upscale and dressed-up, drawn by the heritage cocktails and the dramatic high-altitude setting. It sits at the premium end of the price spectrum.
