A
new riverside hotel has opened in Rattanakosin Island, Bangkok's old royal district, which is bordered by the famous Chao Praya River.
Riva Arun Bangkok is the latest addition to SilverNeedle Collection, a luxury boutique hotel chain run by SilverNeedle Hospitality. It is nestled in a Chinese colonial building and features 25 guest rooms, ranging from studios to Jacuzzi suites, with prices starting from US$75 per night. It also hosts a rooftop restaurant named Above Riva, which serves a wide array of Thai dishes.
For those who prefer to walk everywhere, the hotel is only a stone’s throw away from the city's major tourist attractions, like Wat Pho, Wat Arun, the Museum of Siam and the Grand Palace.

“Thailand is a primary growth country for SilverNeedle Hospitality and Bangkok is a continuously growing destination for international tourists. Riva Arun offers business and leisure travelers a unique, refined and authentic Thai experience,” said the company's managing director for Southeast Asia, Francis Zimmerman, in a press release.
In addition to Riva Arun, SilverNeedle Collection also manages Riva Surya Bangkok and 137 Pillars House Chiang Mai, both located in Thailand, and Kirdara Luang Prabang in Laos. (kes)
