Avani+ Riverside Bangkok offers contemporary luxury on the west bank of the Chao Phraya with stunning river views. The hotel features an infinity pool overlooking the river and the acclaimed Above Eleven Bangkok restaurant. The SEEN restaurant and bar has one of the city's most spectacular settings. The hotel is adjacent to the ICON Siam mall.
Avani+ Riverside Bangkok occupies a 40-storey tower on Charoennakorn Road in the Khlong San district, on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River facing Silom and Bang Rak across the water. The hotel's complimentary river shuttle connects to Sathorn Pier, adjacent to BTS Saphan Taksin, in approximately seven minutes. ICON Siam — Bangkok's largest and most architecturally ambitious shopping mall — is a three-minute walk south along the riverside promenade, with over 500 retailers, multiple food halls, and the Siam Takashimaya department store within the complex.
The property operates as the Avani brand's premium Avani+ tier, representing a step up in both facilities and finish from the standard brand portfolio. The tower's design is contemporary in style, but the riverside position allows rooms above the 15th floor to capture wide views looking east toward the Bangkok skyline — some of the most striking elevated water-facing views available from a mid-priced luxury hotel in the city.
Accommodation spans approximately 262 rooms and suites, with river-facing and city-facing orientations. River View Suites have dedicated sitting areas alongside the panoramic window. Premier River View rooms are the most commonly requested category at booking. Standard city-facing rooms are priced at a meaningful discount relative to river categories and remain comfortable in finish. Family-configuration rooms are available, and the hotel accepts young children without supplement charges.
SEEN Restaurant and Bar is the hotel's headline dining venue, occupying an upper floor with a terrace extending toward the river. The kitchen covers European and Latin-inflected cuisine, with a weekend brunch that has built a following among both hotel guests and Bangkok residents from the Charoen Nakhon neighbourhood. Breakfast is served in a ground-floor dining room with views toward the river taxi pier. A pool bar and a lobby café handle lighter daytime food and drinks.
The infinity-edge pool has the hotel's best unobstructed river view among its public spaces. A spa operates with standard Thai massage and treatment menus. The fitness centre faces the river on a dedicated floor. The guest profile is a mix of leisure travellers drawn by the ICON Siam connection, couples attracted by river views, and a moderate volume of business guests using the Sathorn shuttle.

Tips for visiting
- ICON Siam's ground floor food hall provides one of Bangkok's best concentrated selections of Thai vendors at street-food prices — a better-value lunch alternative to eating in the hotel.
- The hotel's river shuttle to Sathorn Pier runs on a fixed timetable; collect the schedule from the concierge on arrival to avoid waiting on the jetty.
- River View Suite pricing often represents comparable value to Premier River View rooms once the separate sitting area is factored in — compare both categories before confirming a booking.
