Riverside Bangkok Hotel is on Soi Ratchawithi 21 in the Bang Yi Khan neighbourhood, in the Bangkok Riverside area along the Chao Phraya river. The area around it has temples, schools, markets and river piers, and it suits visitors who want to see a more local side of the city, away from the main shopping streets.

The Krung Thon Bridge (Sung Hi) Pier is 250 m away, and river boats run along the Chao Phraya from there. Wat Phakhininat Worawihan, a temple with a pagoda, is in the neighbourhood, and Sirindhorn MRT Station is 750 m away for the metro. The Grand Palace is 3.5 km away and Khaosan Road lies further into the old city, while Chatuchak Weekend Market, open at weekends, is 5.7 km away.

A good first day could start with the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, followed by Wat Phra Chetuphon, also known as Wat Pho. The river is the easiest way to see the old city from the water, and a taxi from the hotel makes the trip to the palace area simpler. The Chatuchak Weekend Market is worth a weekend morning, and Wat Pho's reclining Buddha is one of the best-known sights in the old city.
