AVANI Riverside Bangkok Hotel

AVANI + Riverside Bangkok Hotel offers unrestricted views over the Chao Phraya River and a riverside retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. Five kilometres from the centre of Bangkok, there is easy access to the heart of the city via the property’s shuttle bus service stopping at the BTS SkyTrain for onward exploration or guests may simply go for a peaceful, car-free cycle ride near the river at Bang Krachao. The property is also directly connected to the Riverside Plaza for shopping and entertainment nearby and for more spa, dining and entertainment experiences at sister hotel, Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort a short walk away. With 250 contemporary, clean-lined rooms and suites, accommodation sizes range from 29 square metres for the Avani River View Room up to 166 square metres for the Avani River View Three Bedroom Suite, complete with dining table, kitchenette with washing machine, a large living room and a bar counter. Each room features floor to ceiling windows letting you look out over the river and the city whilst the vibe is cool, calm and collected with a stylishly understated interior design. For relaxation, head up to the rooftop and look out over the city skyline whilst taking a dip in the 25-metre infinity edge swimming pool or for the more energetic, try out the facilities at the fully equipped AvaniFit gym or strengthen your core with some yoga.

 For wining and dining, the aptly named SEEN Restaurant & Bar on the property’s rooftop is the perfect place for relaxing in the lounge or on the deck and watching the sun set to a backdrop of musical beats whilst the restaurant serves a modern Portuguese-Brazilian menu created by acclaimed chef Olivier da Costa. For all day dining, there is Skyline for buffet feasts and à la carte dining with an international favourites menu or for the seafood buffet dinner every Friday and Saturday. For an underground experience, there is also Lost & Found on the banks of the Chao Phyra, a secret retreat rediscovered for pop up performances and epicurean dining.
