Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel puts you on the banks of the Chao Phraya River in Thonburi, with the BTS and river boats both close by. The hotel pairs 250 rooms and suites with sweeping views of the city skyline and the river below, plus 4,500 square metres of meeting space for business stays. You will find a relaxed, contemporary base equally suited to a city break or a run of meetings, with EV charging on site and a warm welcome for travelling pets.

Choose from rooms starting at 30 square metres in the River View, Panorama River View and Skyline River View categories, each with a river or city outlook, a workspace and an in-room safe. Junior suites at 65 square metres give you a daybed, dual vanity basins and a choice of bathtub or a separate tub and rain shower. For more space, you can move up to a One, Two or Three Bedroom River View Suite, running from 58 up to 167 square metres, with living and dining areas, a Nespresso machine and, in the largest, a kitchenette and central living room.

Start your morning with yoga by the rooftop pool or a lap swim before the city wakes up. The gym's personal trainers are on hand should you want a proper workout, and the hotel sits close to Bang Krachao, Bangkok's car free green lung, ideal for a bike ride along quiet paths. In the evening, head to Long Bar or SIN for cocktails and conversation, or up to SEEN's rooftop setting for a memorable sundowner.

High above the water, the hotel's rooftop infinity pool merges into the Bangkok skyline, backed by sun loungers and a poolside bar. The Avani Fit gym stays open around the clock, with weights, cardio machines and a personal trainer on hand should you want one. At Anantara Spa Riverside Bangkok, you can book the Anantara Signature Massage, an Oriental Rice Compress Massage or a Himalayan Thermal Therapy treatment using hand carved salt stones.

Seven venues cover most tastes. SEEN Restaurant & Bar Bangkok serves you international dishes above the river skyline, while SIN keeps bar food and cocktails going into the early hours. Head to SKYLINE for breakfast and all day dining, with a Friday and Saturday buffet, or Long Bar for cocktails and tapas. The Pantry is Avani's own deli when you want a quick bite, Benihana brings Japanese teppanyaki to the table, and Trader Vic's Bangkok serves Asian, Polynesian and Hawaiian dishes over dinner and a Sunday brunch.

The hotel connects you directly to Riverside Mall, home to Benihana and the Spice & Barley gastro lounge, and sits a short ride from ICONSIAM and its Souk Siam floating market. Longtail boat tours let you trace the Chao Phraya's canals, while the Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew and Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, are all within easy reach. For something different, Chatuchak Weekend Market offers you one of the world's largest collections of stalls.
