I have been visiting the Anantara Riverside for ten years on business and this recent stay in November 2024 was as enjoyable and as successful as any of my previous visits. A very comfortable room on the top floor of the North Wing along with the support and attention to detail from so many of the hotel staff were the highlights.On the front desk, Krun Hana and all the concierge team led by Khun Chett deserve a special mention. Each morning got off to an excellent start at breakfast thanks to Khun Smile, Bobby and Boor. After a busy working day, relaxing evenings were spent in the Fitness Centre looked after by Khun Da, the Hotel Spa with Khun Mae and Parn, followed by refreshments in the Elephant and Longtail Bars, and dinner in the Brio, Benihana and Trader Vic’s restaurants. Finally, a first was a most enjoyable evening dinner on the Manohra Cruise where we looked after superbly by Khun Baz. Read less

Our room was very spacious, albeit with no view at all. Not a big deal as we were rarely used it for anything but sleep. Staff are very gracious… Read more

With the hotel ferry, very easy to navigate to all areas of the city. Handy 7/11 a few hundred feet away. Great rooftop bar in adjacent property, which also had decent shopping and eating options.

This was the perfect example of Resort Excellence! We found the whole experience very tranquil. It was an oasis of tropical heaven in the middle of the big city.
