Why You Should Consider Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel For Your Next Visit

Bangkok, Thailand is arguably the most popular travel destination for Singaporeans. According to The Business Times, a whopping 614,627 individuals travelled to the City of Angels from Singapore just last year. What was once seen as a budget vacation destination (three days and two nights spent shopping, dining and whiling time away), Bangkok has now become host to a new breed of travellers looking for luxury experiences at a fraction of the cost. These tourists, with relatively high spending power, appreciate the finer things in life. But what they truly appreciate is good value for money. Here’s where the Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel comes in: The world’s first purpose-designed Avani hotel. 

Opened in 2018, the Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel is a 5-star accommodation located alongside the Chao Phraya river bank. The 26-storey-tall property also boasts stunning views of the dynamic city from its rooftop bar and infinity pool. That being said, the first thing you’ll notice when entering the property is privacy. 

The View

Nestled between Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort and Riverside Plaza Bangkok, the hotel offers guests a quiet escape from the bustling city, with all the amenities you could wish for. It’s connected to its neighbour hotel, where you’ll find top-notch spa facilities, as well as a mall which comprises several food and beverage establishments, convenience stores and more. The hotel lobby is located on the 11th floor, where you’ll find more restaurants, Long Bar and Skyline, that offer unobstructed views of the river. 

Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel consists of 248 guest rooms—all boasting gorgeous views of the city and river. Each room features neutral decor, blending both comfort and contemporaneity in the forms of natural materials and high-tech equipment. And each of the roomy River View Junior Suites features a bathroom with a view, complete with a freestanding tub allowing guests to relax and unwind whilst taking in Bangkok’s stunning skyline, especially at sunset.

The Amenities

Apart from being a sanctuary for weary travellers, it also makes for an ideal satellite office for business travellers. Each room is equipped with a dedicated workstation, high-speed WiFi and a media hub docking station. For larger-scale corporate events, the hotel has a multi-purpose events complex on its 10th floor, offering 4,500 sqm of flexible space. The space can be transformed to host gala banquets for up to 1,300 guests. The best part? It features an open kitchen which is sure to thrill your guests.

Business amenities aside, Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel is also home to SEEN Restaurant and Bar—an indoor/outdoor hotspot featuring an ’80s and Art Deco aesthetic. Here, a curated roster of jet-setting DJs spin hypnotic music while the restaurant's Chef De Cuisine serves up fresh dishes using local and internationally-sourced ingredients. And of course, the bar's award-winning mixology team is here to delight guests' taste buds with their specially-concocted cocktails and curated list of wines and champagnes.

The Convenience

On the same floor, you’ll find the hotel’s spa and fitness amenities. AvaniFit features the latest fitness equipment for guests to keep up with their exercise routines, while AvaniSpa offers bespoke beauty and wellness experiences to revitalise your mind, body and soul. 

Though it’s located away from the city centre, all of Bangkok’s popular attractions are easily accessible from Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel. Shuttle boat services link to the BTS Skytrain at the central Saphan Taksin boat pier, offering guests speedy access to major shopping and entertainment destinations like ICONSIAM and Asiatique Sky. 

The Price

What sets Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel apart from its contemporaries is that it offers almost all of the bells and whistles you’d get at a luxury hotel for a fraction of the cost (rooms start at S$172 per night). From restaurants with mouthwatering dishes from various cuisines to a rooftop bar featuring award-winning concoctions, it’s no wonder that this hotel is quickly becoming the go-to accommodation for visitors of all stripes.
