BANGKOK: Leaders in hotel innovation, SilverNeedle Hospitality, are delighted to welcome the iconic Riva Arun Bangkok hotel to its boutique collection of luxury handpicked properties ‘The SilverNeedle Collection’.
The lobby of Riva Arun, Bangkok.
Riva Arun, uniquely positioned on the Chao Phraya Riva, is located in Bangkok’s preserved Rattankosin Island, the historic heart of the city. The property is nestled in a captivating neighbourhood of traditional houses, shops and warehouses, many of which have been tastefully converted into stylish guesthouses, cafes and galleries.
The architecture and interior design of Riva Arun Hotel reflect influences of 'Chino Colonial' culture with a contemporary twist – displayed throughout the property in the carved wooden interiors and ornate ironwork.
Surrounded by some of Bangkok’s most treasured sites: Wat Pho, the temple of the reclining Buddha; Wat Arun, the temple of dawn; the Museum of Siam and the Grand Palace, Riva Arun offers the city’s most sought-after river views.
The 25 guest rooms range in size from comfortable studios to expansive Jacuzzi suites – each with panoramic views of either the Chao Phraya River or old city.
The rooftop restaurant Above Riva serves a superb Thai menu – an infusion of local flavours, market-fresh ingredients and a variety of creative influences handpicked from across the globe, against a backdrop of stunning scenes of Thai history and culture.

‘Thailand is a primary growth country for SilverNeedle Hospitality and Bangkok is a continuously growing destination for international tourists. We’re delighted to apply the SilverNeedle management expertise to Riva Arun and welcome guests to this one-of-a-kind property. Riva Arun offers business and leisure travellers a unique, refined and authentic Thai experience," said SilverNeedle Hospitality SouthEast Asia managing director Francis Zimmerman.
A boat connects the new Riva Arun to its sister neighbouring property, Riva Surya. Also a SilverNeedle Collection hotel, Riva Surya boasts 68 beautifully designed rooms, adding a touch of style and charm to the once dubbed ‘Venice of the East’.
The hotel has elegant dining options, a riverside swimming pool and multiple leisure facilities, all conveniently accessible and exclusively available and for guests of Riva Arun. For its opening offer, Riva Arun rooms and suites start at 75USD a night.
