1. The ultimate riverside escape

If true relaxation is what you are after, few things are as soothing as gazing out over breathtaking riverside views—and at Chatrium Hotel Riverside Bangkok, that experience comes to life. Nestled along the legendary Chao Phraya River, the hotel offers more than just a pretty view. Watch boats glide by, take in the striking silhouette of Bangkok’s skyline, and admire cultural landmarks like the Grand Palace and Wat Arun. With the hotel’s location, you will also have the chance to explore the city’s top attractions, enjoy shopping, dining, cultural landmarks, and museums. 

2. Indulge in the most picturesque views while going for a swim

If there is one thing that we loved the most about our stay at Chatrium Hotel Riverside Bangkok – it would definitely be the lovely time we had in their infinity swimming pool. Soaring high above the city’s vibrant skyline, the 35-metre infinity pool at Chatrium Hotel Riverside Bangkok offers one of the most spectacular swimming experiences in the city. The infinity pool has this elevated area, and combined with sweeping views of both the Chao Phraya River and Bangkok’s ever-evolving skyline, it is the perfect urban oasis for those seeking serenity and indulgence. 

Our little ones definitely enjoyed frolicking in the pool while sightseeing, watching boats go past by. The infinity pool is so huge, so much that adults can do laps, but there is also a shallow area for kids to wade around. Additionally, there is a baby pool for those with younger infants and kids to enjoy some fun water time. If not a huge water fan, there are plenty of seating areas to just sit back and relax while soaking up the sun amidst riverside breezes. You can even get some drinks and appetizing snacks from the Pool Bar!

3. Go boat watching during breakfast at River Barge Restaurant

Renowned as one of the world’s great culinary capitals, Bangkok is a paradise for food lovers—and at Chatrium Hotel Riverside Bangkok, the dining experience is just as impressive. From the authentic flavours of Thailand at River Barge Restaurant to refined Cantonese cuisine at Silver Waves, and irresistible pastries and coffee at the Lobby Lounge, every meal is a journey across cultures and cuisines. 

The culinary highlight of our stay was our daily breakfast at River Barge Restaurant.  We appreciate the extensive range of dishes, from traditional local street food to contemporary delicacies. Plus, with its stunning location on the banks of the Chao Phraya, it was truly fun for the kids to watch and count boats as they go by. There was also a popcake-making machine, which was a delight with the kids as they could make their own pancakes!

As the sun sets over the Chao Phraya River, let your evening begin with an unforgettable dining experience at River Barge. This elegant riverside restaurant invites you to embark on a culinary journey through the vibrant flavours of Thai and international cuisine, all expertly crafted with premium ingredients. From traditional street food-inspired favourites to modern gourmet creations, every dish is really worth the wait.

A must-try is their Seafood Splash Buffet Dinner, available every weekend night. Diners can choose from yummy seafood like oysters, rock lobster, crab, prawns served on ice, grilled seafood. Complemented by premium meat cuts, flavourful appetisers, live cooking stations, and an irresistible dessert selection, you can never go wrong with this dinner!

4. Relax and unwind with their exceptional riverside suites

Modern conveniences such as LCD TVs with HDMI connectivity, eco-friendly bathroom amenities, and a complimentary fully-stocked mini-bar ensure every stay is both relaxing and memorable. For families or groups seeking extra space, the Two Bedroom Suite River View provide a luxurious home away from home. Featuring two ensuite bedrooms, a separate dining area, a stylish lounge, and sweeping views of the Chao Phraya River, these 120-sqm suites are designed for true relaxation.

During our visit, we really appreciated the kids potty that they provided on top of the usual baby bathtub and baby cot, which was so great as we were toilet trading our kiddos. We were also given complimentary local welcome snacks, which we enjoyed thoroughly. It’s truly the little things that made our stay even more lovely!

Thank you to the Chatrium Hotel Riverside Bangkok team for all these!

5. Explore new heights with the little ones at the Kids Club

Those travelling with their little ones will surely love exploring Chatrium Hotel Riverside Bangkok’s outdoor children’s playground. Children can climb, slide, play, crawl, and bounce while parents relax nearby or join in the family fun too. Our little ones had an absolute blast – climbing ropes, tackling slides (and zipping down them with glee!), and bravely making their way across the wobbly bridge.
