Where to Stay in Bangkok Riverside

Editor's Guide to Recommended Hotels in Riverside

Packed to the brim with many delightful sights, alluring charms and a deep-rooted historical connection to the city's colourful past, the riverside is one of Bangkok's most prestigious areas. Little wonder that it is home also to some of the world's finest hotel brands like Hilton, Marriott, Peninsula, Sheraton and Shangri-La.

From these great hotels and the colonial chic of a famous landmark like Mandarin Oriental to less-known and independent hotels found along the river banks, the riverside is an ideal choice for those planning to do lots of sightseeing in the Old City and along the Chao Phraya River.

Lower Chao Phraya River

Using the Skytrain (BTS) Saphan Taksin station as a marker, more or less central along the river and to where most riverside hotels offer a complimentary shuttle boat service, we start in a southwestern point with the Montien Riverside Hotel (25 minutes by shuttle boat from the BTS station) and the Bangkok Marriott Resort & Spa (20 minutes). The immediate vicinities of these hotels don't offer much in terms of attractions or shopping experiences, but to explore the many riverside charms is a breeze...

Sathorn Bridge & Saphan Taksin Skytrain Station

Our journey now takes us back to Saphan Taksin Skytrain (BTS) station, tucked in next to Sathorn Bridge that crosses the Chao Phraya. The biggest advantage of staying at this part of the river is the easy Skytrain access it offers, and Sathorn Pier is also a main gateway from where to catch river taxis and tours. Popular areas like Sathorn, Silom and Siam are quick to reach too.
