Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort

Nestled within 11 riverside acres of luscious tropical gardens, the Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort offers a tranquil luxury stay within the thrills of urban Bangkok. Boasting a top class spa, a multitude of restaurants and bars, and with the rippling waters of the Chao Phraya River at its feet, this hotel offers a unique way to experience the City of Angels.

After a day spent discovering the city, guests can relax in true style with a luxury cocktail by the side of one of the largest pools in Bangkok, or indulge in a traditional Thai massage within your very own private tropical garden. Gasp at the glorious sunset as it glistens a burnished orange on the river, or take a more proactive approach and learn to cook Thai-style with the hotel’s cookery experts. Guests can perfect their serve in the onsite tennis courts or visit one of the 8 nearby golf courses, whilst children can learn bracelet making and Thai dance with the Kid’s Club. Take a step outside of the serene grounds and you will find a world altogether more exhilarating. Keep up with the faster pace and bustle with trips to the famed temples and the Grand Palace, take part in daily excursions to the city, or cruise down the river and drink in the beautiful Thai terrain.

At Spice Spoon cookery school at Anantara Riverside Bangkok, participating guests are taught how to make classic dishes like Yam Mamuoung Pla Krob, Tod Man Pla fishcakes and Tom Kha Gai soup from scratch. Each step-by-step, interactive cooking class is designed to reveal Thai food’s unique four-flavour balance: salty, sweet, spicy and aromatic, allowing you to recreate this famous cuisine for friends and family when you get home. A great way to learn a new skill for holidaymakers keen to experience the new trend of ‘achievement travel’.

Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort also completed a multi-million pound refurbishment across the resort in 2015. The 408 guest rooms are completely refurbished including 101 suites, each designed in exquisite Thai style with generous river or lush garden views.
