Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel | Bangkok, Thailand | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Bangkok, Thailand

4 stars

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.

“Good views but not much else”

Dec 03, 2025SeeWithMrE

The good: - The main attraction are the views of the river from the rooms and the rooftop, which is clearly the USP of the hotel - The rooms are of good quality and offer good value for money. Areas for Improvement: - A lot of the staff sometimes (especially at the rooftop) miss the mark on providing top-notch service and can be overwhelmed by the high foot traffic and do not appear to be very experienced or service oriented Overall, the property feels more like a high-rise apartment sprinkled with some staff that focusses on providing good views and rooms at a good price point, but it lacks soul and character. The novelty of the views wears off quickly since most people don't come to Bangkok to stay in their rooms. The Riverside location means you'll need to use a taxi or Grab to explore more of the area and other parts of Bangkok. The Riverside experience is different from the Sukhumvit experience, where you have many malls, shopping, restaurants, and bars within walking distance. There is a small shopping centre attached to the hotel with a 7/11 and some dining and shopping options. A couple of the dining options listed on the hotel's website are actually in this connected shopping centre. The Anantara is also connected to the hotel. In my opinion, the food options at the hotel and the shopping centre are not great, but at least there are a few options. Would I stay here again? Probably not, because: a) The Riverside location is not for me. b) If I needed to be close to the Riverside, I would try one of the larger premium hotel brands

“Modern hotel with great views”

Dec 02, 2025sudesnah

We have been to Bangkok several times and always stayed in the centre, but this time we chose to stay by the river. We arrived early evening and were greeted by wonderfully helpful doormen. During our check-in, we were offered a welcoming drink and checked in by the very friendly and efficient Sugar. The suite we had was stunning - spacious, modern, and overlooking the Chao Phraya River. We also overlooked a lovely Buddhist temple. This hotel is a sister hotel to the Anantara, which sits in front of the Avani. They also share the ferries which goes from the front of the Anantara every 30 minutes to Iconsiam and Sathom. We stayed 4 nights, and 1st morning's breakfast was disappointing - choice & quality. 2nd, 3rd & 4th mornings, the quality was a lot better. We were very disappointed that a hotel in Bangkok had so few Thai dishes for breakfast. The staff were efficient during breakfast time. The view from the swimming pool was fantastic. The pool is not huge, and there is a definite lack of sunbeds and certainly very few sun parasols. We had one issue, which was efficiently resolved by Sugar. It's nice to see staff taking ownership of issues. The bedding and toiletries were lovely. In order to get the ferry, you have to go to level 1, walk across to The Anantara to the pier. The ferry ride itself was an experience, and it's free. It's a chic, modern hotel and we would definitely return if we ever return to Bangkok.

“Excellent experience!”

Overall excellent experience, really good service; friendly and efficient staff and yummy food to chose from the skyline and the long bar. I loved the infinity pool as well.
