Centara Hotels & Resorts, with its renowned dining outlets in Bangkok, announces the appointment of three new chefs across its properties, each shaped by Michelin-starred kitchens in Cádiz, Rome, and Hong Kong.
The refreshed lineup signals a confident new chapter for Centara Grand hotels in Bangkok’s portfolio: 10 venues spanning French surf & turf, Spanish fire cooking, Cantonese banquets, royal Thai cuisine, and rooftop chocolate-and-cognac pairings.
Leading the charge is Chef Borja Terry Borrego, the new force behind UNO MAS Bangkok. A native of Cádiz and alumnus of Michelin-starred Hide London and StreetXO Madrid, Chef Borja infuses the 54th-floor fire kitchen with Iberian energy and signature-dining precision. Dishes emerge from Josper grills and feature seasonal seafood from Spain—think wood-fired paella, seafood towers, and vermouth-soaked tapas.
At Red Sky Bangkok, Chef Luca Russo brings a Roman sensibility and minimalist clarity to one of the city’s most iconic rooftop restaurants. Mediterranean ingredients, French technique, and curated wine flights define a menu of dry-aged meats, lobster risotto, and beef Rossini.
Guests can ascend to COCOA XO, Bangkok’s only rooftop chocolate and cognac bar, housed inside a sculptural cocoa pod on the 57th floor. A recent collaboration with Domori Italy, one of the world’s most revered fine chocolate makers, introduced tasting flights that match single-origin chocolates with XO cognacs—a bar that treats cocoa like whiskey or wine.
Across town at Centara Grand Central Plaza Ladprao, Dynasty restaurant enters a bold new phase under Chef Jacky Tse Chi Wai, fresh off his Iron Chef Thailand 2025 victory. Highlights include signature XO sauce, dim sum tasting menus, and seasonal banquets that blend heritage flavors with contemporary technique.
Downstairs, Suan Bua Thai restaurant channels royal Thai recipes and regional traditions with a wellness-forward approach. The buffet and à la carte menus spotlight healing herbs, anti-inflammatory broths, and adaptogens like black galingale and turmeric—a nod to Thailand’s food-as-medicine philosophy.
Whether sky-high or garden-side, heritage-driven or globally inspired, each venue in Centara Bangkok’s portfolio carries a clear sense of self—and an appetite for evolution.
