Above it All at Bangkok’s New Riverside Hotel

Heading to Bangkok? Don't go past the sleek and sophisticated Avani Riverside Bangkok Hotel.

Located on the bank of Thailand’s Chao Phraya River, the Avani hotel rises 26 stories above the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, with each of its 248 rooms offering city and/or river views. Plant yourself on a sun lounger by the rooftop’s infinity-edge pool and take in the panorama as you sip inventive cocktails. Or make your way to the day spa for a relaxing massage or facial. When it’s time for a meal, there are plenty of options, from Asian tapas at rooftop bar Attitude to Thai dishes at Skyline restaurant. If you want to really immerse yourself in Bangkok, there’s much on offer around the hotel, such as a night-time tuktuk tour of the Yodpiman River Walk shopping district or a romantic ride for two in a traditional longtail boat.
