A modern five-storey property, GLOW Bangkok Riverside features 126 rooms and suites, ranging from the Superior Room at 19-22 sqm to the 40sqm River Suite. All 126 rooms have either king-size or twin beds and are tastefully decorated with rich hues, warm wood tones, and colourful accents, creating a welcoming and relaxing environment. Each of the 126 air-conditioned rooms boasts a 42” TV, a minibar, and free Wi-Fi, and most rooms have open-air balconies. River-view suites have floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing spectacular views of the bustling river.

Among the facilities available at GLOW are a fitness centre, laundry service, on-site parking, and an outdoor swimming pool, which is idyllically situated to offer front-row seats to the never-ending theatre of Bangkok’s famous river life.

The hotel also hosts Currents Café & Bar, an all-day riverfront venue offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner — an ideal spot for guests to hold business meetings or simply enjoy drinks and river sunsets.

“In unveiling GLOW Bangkok Riverside, we are honoured to join the panorama of the Thai capital’s famed river skyline,” said Markus Gloor, the director of operations in Thailand, who has been with GLOW Hotels & Resorts since 2014. “This is the fourth GLOW property in the city, and we aspire to offer both our new customers and our returning guests a fresh modern experience at a competitive price, but in an area close to the Grand Palace and numerous historical attractions.”
