KUALA LUMPUR, March 16 — If you’re planning a weekend getaway, why not consider our neighbour Bangkok, the City of Angels?

And if you’re looking for accommodation, there is Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel for your consideration.

Overlooking the Chao Phraya River, the world’s first purpose-designed Avani hotel welcomes travellers with contemporary style and stunning views across Asia’s most dynamic city.

From the 26th floor rooftop bar and pool to the lobby, this is a base from which to explore popular tourist sites along the ‘River of Kings’.

All of the hotel’s 248 guest rooms and suites boast river and city views and all elements are geared towards the promise of a relaxing stay.

The neutral décor is a blend of comfort and modernity, natural materials and high-tech equipment, along with conveniences such as rain shower and dedicated work station.

Each of the spacious River View Junior Suites features a bathroom with a view, outfitted with freestanding tub where guests can soak whilst taking in the ever-changing river scene below and Bangkok’s glittering skyline.

Reaching new heights, the 26th floor rooftop is the ideal place to take in the panorama while relaxing in the infinity pool.

A multi-purpose sunken lounge area located in the middle of the terrace has a retractable roof for sunlight or shade, whatever the mood.

At the other end of the terrace is SEEN Restaurant and Bar, a 1980s-meets-art deco where hypnotic background beats are spun by a roster of DJs.

From refreshments at Long Bar, to sunrise breakfasts and sunset dinners at Skyline and artisanal deli snacks at The Pantry, the focus is on fresh, local ingredients to give guests the sustenance they need.

Avani+ Riverside also raises the bar for conferences and meetings in the city. Its multi-purpose events complex offers over 4,500 square metres of space to host gala banquets or small intimate meetings.

The hotel’s riverside location makes all of Bangkok’s attractions easily accessible. Shuttle boat services link to the BTS Skytrain at the central Saphan Taksin boat pier.

For those who prefer not to stray too far, adjoining the hotel is Riverside Plaza, which offers a variety of restaurants, bars and shops.

At the end of the day, Avani+ Riverside gives the modern traveller a space to stay and relax while encouraging them to embrace all that Bangkok has to offer.
