About

Riva Surya Bangkok is a 68-room boutique hotel on Phra Athit Road, on the Chao Phraya at the northern edge of the Old City, with a pool and a bar laid out along the riverbank. Most rooms have a balcony, and three of the four room types look over the river.

It suits travelers who want the historic center at walking pace and the river as their main road. The hotel runs no shuttle, because it sees the sights as close enough to walk or cycle to, and it lists the National Museum, the Grand Palace and Wat Pho among them. Phra Athit Pier, for the Chao Phraya Express boats and the tourist boat that also stops for Wat Arun, is about a three-minute walk from the hotel's riverside gate.

Rooms

There are four room types. The Urban Room, at 32 square meters with a king or twin beds, opens onto a wooden-floored balcony. The Riva Room sits on the corner of the building with a 90-degree view of the river in 30 square meters. The Deluxe Riva Room has 40 square meters and a large tiled balcony over the river, and the Premium Riva Room adds a lounge area, a dining table and a furnished private balcony in 48 square meters. Furnishings are contemporary Thai, with 400-thread-count linen and free Wi-Fi throughout.

Pool, gym and massage

The outdoor pool runs along the river, and the gym also has river views. Massage therapy is offered on site rather than in a full spa. The hotel has a lift, room service, laundry, luggage storage and a 24-hour reception, and baby cots and babysitting can be arranged on request.

Phra Athit and the river

Phra Athit Road, right outside, is lined with old shophouses holding cafés, restaurants and bars, and the Banglamphu market streets are close by. For longer trips the river is the practical choice: the nearest rail station the hotel names is Sanam Chai on the MRT, about 2.3 km away, so boats and taxis do most of the work.

Weddings and events

The Mezzanine Room, a daylit space with a 250-degree view of the river, takes meetings of up to 30 and receptions of up to 60, and the smaller Supapan Room suits board meetings. The riverfront lawn area holds up to 120 guests for a wedding reception, and Babble & Grill can be set up for private functions.

Restaurants and bars

The hotel has one restaurant and two bars, all by the water.

Babble & Grill is a slow-smoked barbecue restaurant with a riverside terrace facing the Rama VIII Bridge. The signature is a 12-hour smoked beef brisket served with homemade cornbread, steak fries and coleslaw, alongside Australian Wagyu steak, New Zealand short ribs, homemade sausage, lobster rolls and full racks of ribs.

Riverside Bar is set up for sunset drinks by the water, with a long list of cocktails and other beverages.

The Bar at Petit Soleil is the hotel's second bar, also facing the river, pitched at sunset cocktails.
