They say Wat Arun is the best place to see the sunset in Bangkok – but it has a rival in Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel. Up on the rooftop of this central urban retreat, just moments from Riverside Plaza, the infinity pool appears to teeter over the vast Chao Phraya River, letting you gaze out over life on the river in the daytime, and watch the bright lights of Bangkok glittering as night draws in. You can also catch those skyline views from your guestroom and from the roof-capping SEEN Restaurant & Bar, where the al fresco dining deck is scattered with nightlights and lanterns.

Great location for hotel with very friendly staff and amenities . The SEEN bar was very impressive with the bar. Drinks and food are pricey there but it was an experience.

Enjoyed our stay. Great location, service and amenities. Friendly and accommodating staff. Room is clean, modern and with great view.
We had such a great stay at AVANI+ Riverside Bangkok — the hotel strikes the perfect balance between relaxed and refined, and the views over the Chao Phraya River are stunning, especially at sunset.

We had such a great stay at AVANI+ Riverside Bangkok — the hotel strikes the perfect balance between relaxed and refined, and the views over the Chao Phraya River are stunning, especially at sunset.
One of the absolute highlights was our lunch at Benihana. The teppanyaki show was so much fun — our chef was super entertaining, and the food was amazing. It’s the kind of meal that’s just as much about the experience as the flavor.
Another unforgettable moment was the Manohra Dinner Cruise. Floating down the river on a beautifully restored rice barge while enjoying a full Thai tasting menu was such a romantic way to see the city lights — totally recommend it for a special night out.
The rooftop pool is also a vibe, and we loved the amazing food and drinks at SEEN in the evening.
Overall, AVANI+ felt like the perfect city escape.

First time staying at Avani. It blew my mind. Everything was on point. Highly impressive.
Phattie was especially helpful. She went the extra mile to make our stay at Bangkok as comfortable and luxurious as possible.
