The Avani Bangkok Riverside, located next to the Anantara Riverside, caters to leisure and business travelers – primarily from abroad. The 26-story hotel project by the Minor Hotel Group comprises 190 guest rooms, 20 suites, and a shopping arcade.

The unconventional hotel is scheduled to open in 2015 and will feature a lobby and lounge on the 11th floor, as well as a "secret" bar and a rooftop bar designed by Ashley Sutton, known for Iron Fairies and Maggie Choo.

The Avani Bangkok Riverside Hotel & Spa is the first hotel built specifically for Avani and also the brand's global flagship. Avani Hotels & Resorts, the new hotel chain of the Bangkok-based Minor Hotel Group, invested 2.2 billion baht in the construction of the 249-room hotel, which features one of the largest conference and banquet halls in the capital, located on the Chao Phraya River.
