Tucked along the stunning Chao Phraya River, The Salil Hotel Riverside Bangkok is a tranquil oasis where luxury meets artistry. After the buzz of Bangkok, this five-star retreat was exactly what we needed – relaxed opulence with a creative, eclectic twist.
Perfectly located just off Charoenkrung Road, if you’re in the mood for riverside fun, the lifestyle complex Asiatique The Riverfront is a short stroll away, packed with dining, shopping, and entertainment options. Suvarnabhumi International Airport is within a convenient 30-minute drive, making travel connections seamless.
The Salil doesn’t just offer a stay – it invites you on a “Journey of Dreams.” This unique philosophy is woven through every part of your experience, from luxurious accommodations to exceptional dining, relaxation, shopping, social spaces, and even work-friendly venues. It’s hospitality but elevated to a whole new level.
With 235 rooms and suites, The Salil Hotel Riverside caters to all tastes and needs. From beautiful river views family rooms to an indulgent Penthouse Suite, each space combines modern elegance with Thai aesthetics for a truly bespoke experience. Our Deluxe Pool View room was an absolute delight. With it’s vibrant pops of colour, mix-and-match design touches, and a huge king size bed, it felt like a perfect blend of fun and indulgence. The thoughtful extras made all the difference – from soft slippers and signature flip-flops to the cosiest Salil pyjamas. And not forgetting the bathtub. Big enough for two, stocked with their own heavenly Harnn Spa products, and just begging for a late-night soak – it’s the ultimate wind-down spot. (Pro tip: book early to snag the best deals on this slice of heaven!)
Breakfast here is more than just a meal; it’s a feast. Picture yourself loading up on noodles, curries, and dumplings alongside Western classics. The omelette station became a morning ritual, and I’m officially obsessed with their Thai tea. The hotel boasts a variety of dining venues, including, a collection of four distinct, offering both Thai and international cuisine. We dined at NAVA and dived into beautifully present dishes, where the crispy pork belly, fragrant crab curry, and show-stopping puffed sea bass kept us reaching our chopsticks for more. Afterwards, cocktails by the river with a live DJ provided the perfect soundtrack to watch Bangkok light up.
Travelling with a furry friend? The Salil Riverside has you covered with its dedicated pet-friendly zone – a rare and thoughtful touch that makes this hotel stand out. The little details don’t stop there. Fresh fruit by the pool, popcorn in the lobby, and even opportunities to craft your own spa products to take home all add to the charm. Plus, there’s a treasure trove of board games for guests of all ages.
A rooftop experience like no other at The Rabbit Moon rooftop aquatherapy pool was a highlight of our stay. Over 60 minutes, nine hydromassage stations worked their magic with micro bubbles and geysers that eased the tension and left us feeling utterly relaxed. With jaw-dropping views of Bangkok, it’s the perfect spot to soak in the scenery – whether under the sun or the city lights – and an unmissable part of your visit.
The Salil Hotel Riverside Bangkok is more than just a hotel – it’s an experience. From its artistic charm and indulgent amenities to its incredible dining and thoughtful extras, every detail is designed to delight. Whether you’re after a romantic getaway, a family holiday, or simply a luxurious escape, this riverside retreat is an absolute must-visit to be treated like a VIP.
