The Steigenberger Hotel Riverside Bangkok occupies a position which is both quiet and central, directly on the banks of the River Chao Phraya within the immediate vicinity of the city’s main sights.

The hotel will be operated via a management agreement. The property owner and contractual partner is the Thai company River Garden Co., Ltd.
