Chatrium Hotel Riverside Bangkok , Bangkok

Chatrium Hotel Riverside is a modern 36-storey hotel located along the banks of the Chaopraya River offering customers spacious and luxury accommodation and a whole wealth of facilities without breaking the bank. It’s one of Bangkok's larger hotels, with 320 rooms and suites, but never feels impersonal: it has personality woven into its bright colourful décor and the staff are friendly and welcoming.

One of the key features of Chatrium Riverside is space: a rare commodity in a packed city like Bangkok. The whole hotel has high ceilings and each of the rooms are large, bright and airy. Floor to ceiling windows throughout provides stunning views of the river or a dizzying cityscape. The hotel's lead-in room category is the Grand Room starting out at 60sqm, but the rooms range up to a whopping 460sqm for the Presidential Three-Bedroom Suite. All the rooms have balconies of varying sizes but the ‘Grand Suites’ and the ‘2 bedroom River View Suites’ are the picks; being positioned on the corners of the building they offer larger balconies and better panoramic views, perfect for sipping an evening cocktail as you watch the sunset and the city light up at night.

Being a spacious hotel with one and two-bedroom suites, the Chatrium is perfect for families and is also good for those looking to stay a little longer in Bangkok as every accommodation offers a fully equipped kitchen. It’s a great value and comes highly recommended. Even the smallest room category is comfortably big enough for 2 extra children under the age of 12, making it an outstanding value.

Chatrium Riverside also has a large outdoor area for its 36-metre infinity pool, the longest in Bangkok, a kids pool and a jacuzzi, plus a trendy poolside bar and yoga area. There are several restaurants in the hotel including a bakery and a Chinese restaurant. The riverside bar on the ground floor does an excellent margarita and has frequent performances by a live jazz band.

The hotel is conveniently located near the BTS Skytrain station, Saphan Taksin, and offers a frequent shuttle

boat service throughout the day to take you there, which takes a couple of minutes. From here you can easily get anywhere you need. Saphan Taksin is in the Bangkrak area of Bangkok – home of some of the most famous hotels in Bangkok, such as the Mandarin Oriental and plenty of places to eat.
