When it comes to curating the ultimate travel experience, Avani Hotels have taken things to a whole new level with their innovative “tribes” concept. Designed to cater to a diverse range of interests, Avani Tribes bring a personalised touch to holidays, whether you’re a thrill-seeker, culture buff, wellness enthusiast, or, like me, a devoted foodie.
The Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel offers a prime example of this, blending culinary adventures with the vibrant energy of the city. A paradise for food lovers, Bangkok offers everything – from buzzing street markets, upscale dining, and authentic Thai flavours create an unforgettable gastronomic journey.
At Avani+ Riverside Bangkok, the “Food Tribe” comes alive with an array of dining venues and experiences that not only showcase the city’s rich culinary traditions but also add a contemporary twist. Whether you’re craving street-style classics or indulging in fine dining with a view, this is a hotel that’s as much about the food as it is about the stay.
A gastronomic adventure at Avani+ Riverside Bangkok
Let’s start with the star-studded lineup of restaurants and bars. At Benihana, you’ll experience the art of teppanyaki. Picture sizzling prawn fried rice and tender wagyu beef cooked before your eyes in a theatrical performance by skilled chefs. It’s dining meets entertainment, and the flavours are as memorable as the show. You can even get involved, if you’d like – but don’t worry, the chefs still see to it that you eat what they expertly prepare.
For sunset drinks and skyline views, head to SEEN Restaurant and Bar. Here, the menu is as vibrant as the décor, featuring standout dishes like sushi platters and ceviche bowls, plus a wide selection of desserts. You’ll find SIN Rooftop Bar on the floor above, serving inventive cocktails amidst the glittering city lights. It’s a great spot to take in the cityscape of Bangkok…while taking a break from the immersive (and, at times, intense) bustle.
If riverside tranquillity is more your style, the Manohra river cruise combines dining with a leisurely glide along the Chao Phraya River. Enjoy dishes like aromatic green curry, freshly-caught and grilled river pranws (a real sell of the menu, this) and mango sticky rice – all while Bangkok’s iconic landmarks provide the backdrop.
Meanwhile, the Long Bar and the playful Lost & Found Bar offer relaxed settings for cocktails and light bites. From craft cocktails infused with Thai herbs to sharing platters that nod to local flavours, these venues add a touch of chic to your evening.
The Avani+ adjoins via a walkway to the Anantara Riverside hotel. Here, you’ll find even more delicious menus to feast upon, from the likes of Trader Vic’s and Spice and Barley. It’s also from here that you embark upon your Manohra river cruise.
Skyline’s buffet and beyond
Breakfast at Skyline is an experience in itself. The buffet is a feast for the senses, featuring the usual suspects of freshly baked pastries to tropical fruits and made-to-order omelettes. But we’d recommend immersing yourself in where you are a little – try the grilled pork, Chinese sausage and fish ball soup, too.
Whether you’re fuelling up for a day of exploration or indulging in a leisurely brunch, the variety ensures there’s something for every palate. Lunch and dinner at Skyline are equally impressive, with international and Thai dishes that highlight fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
The stay: Comfort meets style
It’s not just the food that makes Avani+ Riverside Bangkok a standout; the rooms and suites are designed with a sleek, modern aesthetic that’s both stylish and comfortable. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame stunning views of the city and river, adding a touch of serenity to your stay.
And let’s talk about the rooftop infinity pool. Whether you’re swimming laps or simply lounging with a cocktail or watermelon juice, the panoramic view of Bangkok is breathtaking. To top it off, the hotel’s private ferry service makes exploring the city’s cultural and culinary hotspots even more convenient.
Avani’s Food Tribe isn’t just about dining – it’s about connecting with the culture, flavours, and stories of a destination. At Avani+ Riverside Bangkok, this philosophy is evident in every detail, from the curated menus to the immersive dining experiences. Whether you’re a culinary adventurer or simply someone who enjoys a good meal with a view, this is a place that celebrates food as a cornerstone of travel.
So, if you’re planning a trip to Thailand and food is high on your agenda, a stay at the Avani+ Riverside Bangkok is a no-brainer. With its world-class dining, luxurious amenities, and unbeatable location, it’s the perfect base for a taste of the country’s culinary magic. Cheers to your next foodie adventure!
