Riva Arun Bangkok stands on the Bangkok Riverside, in the Phraborom Maharajawang and Pranakorn area, where the Chao Phraya is the main thread of the neighbourhood. Temples, historic palaces and piers are close to the water, and the river is one of the easiest ways to move between them. It is a good area for visitors who want temples and river views close at hand.

Wat Arun is 350 m from the hotel, and the Grand Palace is 650 m away, with Wat Pho, the temple of the reclining Buddha, and the Museum of Siam also nearby. Tha Tien Pier, where boats cross the river to Wat Arun, is close by too. Khaosan Road, the lively backpacker street, is 1.7 km away, and Sanam Chai MRT station is 350 m from the hotel, linking the area by metro with the rest of Bangkok. Suvarnabhumi Airport is 28.6 km away.

A good day could start at Wat Pho and the Grand Palace, cross the river at Tha Tien Pier to see Wat Arun up close, and end with a drink at the hotel's riverside bar. Most of these sights can be reached on foot from the hotel, while the metro and river boats cover longer trips. In the evening, the bars and street food of Khaosan Road are a short trip away.
