URBAN ELEGANCE ON THE CHAO PHRAYA: AVANI+ RIVERSIDE BANGKOK
Bangkok, a city brimming with contrasts, is where vibrant street markets meet luxury malls, where lively nights out merge with serene temple visits, and where culinary delights span street food to Michelin-starred indulgence. For travellers seeking a taste of everything this electrifying city has to offer—without sacrificing serenity—Avani+ Riverside Bangkok presents itself as the ideal urban escape.
Perched on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, this sleek and modern haven provides a perfect blend of city energy and riverside calm. The hotel’s panoramic views, impeccable service, and proximity to the adjacent Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort elevate the experience to a realm of understated luxury.
The rooftop pool and dining options, including the chic SEEN Restaurant & Bar, promise stunning vistas. For an added dash of flair, the attached mall offers retail therapy, while the brilliantly entertaining cabaret-style Lost & Found Bar adds a playful twist to evenings that means you don’t have to venture too far from your room (especially after indulging in their lovely cocktails).
Rooms with a View
The contemporary elegance of our River View Room includes floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the ever-changing Chao Phraya and Bangkok’s iconic skyline. With clean lines and thoughtful design, the spaces feel like a personal retreat—a peaceful contrast to the city’s vibrant pace. Down below you’ll see Anantara’s pool and the regular resort boats that zip you conveniently along the river to the nearby piers that offer the quickest way to traverse the city. If you find you have time to relax then the huge bathtub is a tempting indulgence you won’t want to miss.
A Culinary Journey
Dining at Avani+ Riverside is an experience in itself. The rooftop SEEN Restaurant & Bar fuses international and Brazilian cuisines with flair, set against a backdrop of glittering river lights. The specials include jumbo pan-seared Hokkaido Scallops with Black Garlic cauliflower and truffle sauce and the SEEN Taco which includes Alaska king crab, guacamole, fish ceviche, pomegranate and wasabi mayo. We also added the roasted Snow Fish with saffron sauce, crushed potato and garlic chips as well as the Tuna and Salmon Ceviche.
Breakfast at Skyline includes an expansive buffet of global and local specialities. Live cooking stations, whipping up everything from Thai noodle dishes to fluffy omelettes, make mornings an event. For lighter fare, and for those who might prefer a less busy atmosphere, the Lobby Lounge offers a cosy spot for tea and snacks.
If you want great Thai flavours then heading down to the Riverside for a spot outdoors at the Longtail River Bar and Lounge is an ideal place to order simple street-style Thai dishes. The atmosphere is great with regular live music offering the perfect accompaniment to a freshly prepared cocktail.
Post-dining fun
If you can find it in the warren of stores then the Lost & Found is worth seeking out. They suggest you ‘leave the world behind and step inside a celebration of self-expression’ where pop-up performances from Bangkok’s most talented artists who push the boundaries of fashion, art, theatre and drag, can be seen. Open on Friday and Saturday evenings you can party into the night with drag act entertainment and dancing to the live music acts, plus resident and guest DJs.
Relaxation and Rejuvenation
The hotel’s rooftop infinity pool is a showstopper—a place where the city feels far away as you sip cocktails under the open sky. Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate AvaniFit gym’s state-of-the-art equipment and yoga classes, while those seeking indulgence can stroll over to the Anantara Spa, where you will feel like you’ve stepped into a different world. We recommend the Himalayan Thermal Therapy Massage if you want a real soul-soothing treat.
Avani+ Riverside’s location is another feather in its cap. The complimentary shuttle boat to Saphan Taksin BTS station ensures easy access to Bangkok’s attractions, while the Riverside Plaza Mall, located within the complex, offers ample dining and shopping options just steps from your room. You can also take a quick journey over to the Asiatique Riverside destination which is just across the river and includes a wholesome family atmosphere of food and entertainment.
Whether you’re soaking in the riverside tranquillity or diving into the city’s dynamic pulse, Avani+ Riverside Bangkok delivers a seamless blend of urban sophistication and resort-style relaxation—a perfect base for discovering the many faces of Bangkok.
