Tongtara Riverview Hotel is on Charoen Krung Road in the Bangkoleam district, in Bangkok's riverside area. Charoen Krung is one of the city's oldest roads, and the street mixes older buildings with newer hotels and waterfront development along the Chao Phraya River. Wat Chanyawat, a temple, is close by, and Asiatique The Riverfront, a waterfront shopping and dining complex, is 700 m away.

The Asiatique Sky ferris wheel stands in the same complex, and the Wat Rajsingkorn Pier, a Chao Phraya ferry stop, is nearby. Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn, is 5.1 km away and the Grand Palace 5.7 km, and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha sits inside the palace complex. The Krung Thon Buri BTS station gives access to the skytrain, and Suvarnabhumi Airport is 27 km away while Don Mueang Airport also serves the city.

A full day can combine Wat Arun, the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha with an evening on the riverside at Asiatique. Khaosan Road, known for its bars and street food, offers a different side of the city, and the Chatuchak Weekend Market is one of the city's best-known weekend markets. The skytrain and river ferries can link several of these sights in one day.
