"The Anantara Riverside’s immense grounds of tropical gardens make it feel a bit like a resort escape, even though it’s a hotel in the middle of one of the world’s busiest cities. Green pathways wind past lily ponds and under shady, flower-filled trees, all lit by the flicker of torches at night. With its direct riverfront location, cooling breezes help tame the hot air, and there are always local boats puttering by. This is a great choice for families with little ones who need space and can benefit from a nice big swimming pool and plenty of in-house dining options. There are myriad activities on offer, from renowned river cruises to walking tours, but when guests do want to take on the city, the heart of Bangkok is a quick—and free—ferry shuttle across the river. The hotel is also popular with Thai tourists, giving travelers opportunities for cultural connections."

We absolutely loved our stay at Anantara Riverside Bangkok — a peaceful, tropical escape right on the Chao Phraya River. The resort is beautifully designed, with lush greenery, a relaxing pool area, and an overall atmosphere that feels like a true oasis in the heart of the city.The service was excellent — warm, attentive, and very accommodating, especially helpful as we were traveling with our toddler. The grounds are stunning, and the riverside location added a unique charm to our Bangkok experience. The breakfast buffet was varied and delicious, and dining by the river in the evenings was especially memorable. The boat shuttle made getting into central Bangkok easy and enjoyable. The room was beautifully decorated, very clean, and had a lovely balcony — but it did feel a bit smaller than expected, especially for a resort of this scale. It didn’t take away from our overall comfort, but worth noting if you’re traveling with family or lots of luggage. We had a fantastic time and would happily return. The tranquil vibe, amazing hospitality, and family-friendly environment make this a standout stay in Bangkok. Just wish the room had a bit more space to match everything else!||||||

My recent stay at Anantara Riverside in Bangkok was unfortunately rather disappointing. The property is visibly aging, with clear signs of wear and tear throughout. Room amenities were minimal and lacking, falling short compared to many other 4-star hotels in Bangkok that offer far superior accommodations. Breakfast, temporarily served at Trader Vic’s Polynesian restaurant due to the regular venue being closed, was chaotic, overcrowded, and poorly organized, significantly detracting from what should be a relaxing start to the day. Moreover, the external public areas urgently need a comprehensive refurbishment rather than mere superficial touch-ups. The attempts at repainting ugly spots simply aren’t enough to conceal the hotel’s deteriorating condition. It is clear that time has caught up with Anantara Riverside, which desperately requires significant repairs and a full-scale renovation to regain its charm and appeal. On a more positive note, the service provided by staff members was genuinely excellent, as they consistently made efforts to ensure guests felt welcomed. Additionally, the hotel’s beautiful pool area and lush gardens remain its standout features, offering a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. The complimentary boat service to Sathorn BTS station was also convenient and reliable.

I have been staying at this Bangkok Hotel regularly (three times p.a) for over ten years. The accommodation is located in three separate blocks which are no more than six floors high . My person favourite is the North Wing, with stunning views over the river. I stay on each occasion for around ten nights and during that time make good use of the hotel’s restaurants . The Brio under the leadership of Khun Tik deserves a special mention. Regular evening visits to the Fitness Centre which is superbly looked after Khun Daar are another highlight. All the hotel team are particularly friendly and helpful, with Senior Conceige, Khun Chett, setting the perfect example. Certain aspects of the hotel are beginning to look rather tired, but there are plans to carry out some renovation later this year.

We became Club members in 2018 and it was the best decision we ever made. This property is right next to the river with riverboat taxi service available all throughout the day. The pool is huge with plenty of seating all around. The restaurant options are varied and the breakfast buffet was a great choice for our family. As with all Anantara properties we have stayed, the accommodations are immaculate and spacious. The staff are always ready to assist with any needs and with a kind and genuine smile. Thank you!

Green, beautiful resort with a fabulous kids club with activities arranged, the free shuttle boat ride on the hour till night really make this resort a class above the rest of the hotels on the Choa Phraya. We were at first hesitant to book into this hotel as it’s been around for many years and there’s just been many new and more avant garde hotels in Bangkok. Our research however tells us that this hotel has consistently ranked high with families travelling kids and our trip just confirms those who have come before us. Wonderful choices of international food too at the small but sufficient mall with food ranging from Korean fried chicken to Japanese bento style food for the picky eaters. If you are more adventurous there are also some small eateries with local choices just around the corner from the small mall. It’s a little far out from the BTS but the affordable taxis/grabs do make up for this. If your intention is to stay in at a resort style hotel and still just a skip from a big mall coupled with an excellent kids club , then the ANANTARA RIVERSIDE RESORT is a good choice for a family vacation.

This is actually not a very nice hotel. It may have been a 5-star hotel at one time, but now, it's 4-star at best. Our room was dark and dated. Rooms that face the river can be quite noisy in the evening due to loud music from the party cruises. Also, there is a Gamelatron in the lobby which, while unique and very interesting, plays music every afternoon and echoes throughout the hotel, and is actually quite loud. I found it to be fairly annoying. Perhaps the management could limit its afternoon performance to just 15 or 20 minutes. But really, the worst thing of all about this hotel is the food. The breakfast buffet is pretty bad. The only items that were good were some of the juices and one of the cheeses. We took one look at the dinner buffet and walked away; it wasn't appealing at all. We went to Brio, which was decent and had very good service, but it's nothing special. I'm being generous to give this hotel 3 stars; 2.5 is more like it. Don't be fooled by the beautiful lobby. It's really not very nice.

I expected more out of the room. The 'suite' felt a bit bland and could use some artwork on the walls. Other than the piece above the bed, the walls were completely bare. The bathroom is looking a bit dated as well. One great feature regarding the room was the hassle free casting to the TV. Really nice to see more hotels getting on board with this. The facilities are pretty good too. Especially the pool area. Very relaxing with plenty of space. Both Trader Vic's and the Italian restaurant Brio are very good. Particularly Trader Vic's. Stop in for one of their grogs. You'll be happy you did! Don't forget to make use of their complimentary shuttle boat. It's a peaceful way to do a bit of sightseeing.

Absolutely loved our stay! We had a room with a garden view and sound from the rooftop bar of the nearest hotel was absolutely crazy. After the complaint to the reception we were offered another room looking to the river, which was silent and has a gorgeous view. Territory of the hotel, pool, breakfast- all was absolutely perfect. We hope to come again!
