Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel
About
Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel rises on the Thon Buri bank of the Chao Phraya, and every one of its 250 rooms and suites starts on the 12th floor or higher and faces the river, looking back across the water at the skyline on the other side. Opened in 2016, it shares its building with the Riverside Plaza shopping complex, and the top of the tower holds a 25-meter rooftop infinity pool, a 26th-floor restaurant and an open-air bar on the 27th.
It suits couples and groups of friends who want river views and rooftop nights, and travelers happy to swap a central address for a boat commute. On the Thon Buri side, the hotel's free shuttle boat does the work, crossing to Sathorn Pier at BTS Saphan Taksin and running to ICONSIAM.
Rooms and suites
River View, Panorama River View (16th floor and above) and Skyline River View rooms all measure 30 square meters, so the choice is about height rather than size. Junior Suites add a daybed and a full-size bathtub, and the two- and three-bedroom suites have kitchens and wet bars for families and groups. The hotel also takes cats and dogs in designated rooms.
Pool and fitness
The rooftop infinity pool has uninterrupted views of the river and the city skyline, with a pool bar beside it. AvaniFit, the gym, is open around the clock, and a personal trainer is available. For spa treatments the hotel sends guests to Anantara Spa at Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort, which its fact sheet places within walking distance.
Getting around
Boats are the way in and out. The complimentary shuttle runs between the hotel pier and Sathorn Pier, about 15 minutes, where the Skytrain takes over, and a separate afternoon and evening loop serves ICONSIAM. The hotel's own list of sights nearby includes Wat Arun, Wat Pho and the Grand Palace, all on or close to the Chao Phraya.
Restaurants and bars
SEEN Restaurant & Bar Bangkok, on the indoor-outdoor 26th floor, is chef Olivier da Costa's restaurant and bar, brought here after Lisbon and São Paulo, with an eclectic menu of dishes such as Maine lobster Caesar salad and king crab tacos, a live DJ in the evening and views over the river.
SIN, one floor up on the 27th, is an open-air sky bar for cocktails and bar food, with a champagne-and-tapas sundowner offer in the early evening.
Skyline, on the 11th floor, is the all-day restaurant for breakfast, Thai and international à la carte dishes and the Hi Eleven buffet on Friday and Saturday nights, all with river views. Long Bar, the lobby bar on the same floor, serves cocktails, tapas and afternoon tea, and The Pantry on the ground floor is the deli for coffee, juices, smoothies and pastries.
Lost & Found, on the third floor of Riverside Plaza, is a Friday and Saturday night venue designed by Ashley Sutton that stages fashion, art, theater and drag performances.
The hotel's restaurant list also includes Benihana, the teppanyaki restaurant in the connected Riverside Plaza, and Trader Vic's Bangkok, with Asian, Polynesian and Hawaiian dishes at dinner and a Sunday brunch. Both take bookings through Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort.
