Banyan Tree Bangkok: For over 25 years an icon at Bangkok’s skyline!

In the busy Sathorn district of Bangkok stands Banyan Tree Bangkok, a symbol of calm, elegance, and luxury. Celebrating 25 years in 2022, this famous five-star skyscraper is more than just a hotel—it’s a destination. With 61 floors and top services like the famous Vertigo rooftop bar and award-winning spa, Banyan Tree Bangkok promises an unforgettable stay. Join us as we share our pre-honeymoon experience in this amazing high-rise.

Banyan Tree Bangkok is in the quiet Sathorn area, just off busy Sathorn Road, giving peace while staying close to the city center. Lumpini Park and the new ONE Bangkok shopping area are a 15-minute walk away. MRT and BTS stations (Lumpini, Sala Daeng, and Chong Nonsi) are also nearby. Guests can use a free tuk-tuk shuttle that runs hourly to BTS Sala Daeng.

Service & Hospitality

From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. Bellboys handled our luggage, and the concierge greeted us warmly. Check-in was smooth, with drinks, snacks, and cool towels offered. Staff remembered our names and preferences, making us feel at home. The daily turndown service with slippers and sweet treats was a lovely touch.

Architecture & Design

Banyan Tree Bangkok’s slim high-rise is a striking part of the skyline. Inside, it blends Asian elegance with modern style. Natural materials, soft colors, and artistic details make the hotel feel both luxurious and calming.

Luxurious yet cozy, Banyan Tree Bangkok provides a calm escape above the busy city. Whether at the rooftop Moon Bar or the spa, the vibe is always elegant, peaceful, and inviting.

Our Room: One-Bedroom Suite

Living room

The living area had a long sofa, Nespresso machine, minibar with daily water refills, and welcome treats. A control panel by the door made adjusting lights and air-conditioning easy.

Bedroom

A plush king-size bed with soft linens welcomed us, decorated for our upcoming wedding. Large windows showed wide city views, and a cozy seating area was perfect for relaxing.

Bathroom

Behind sliding doors was a large bathroom with double sinks, a rain shower, and a freestanding tub filled with rose petals on our first night—a romantic touch we’ll always remember.

Facilities

Banyan Tree Spa

The award-winning Banyan Tree Spa has 16 rooms and many treatments. We enjoyed the 90-minute Master Therapist Experience—a highlight of our stay. Our therapists, Yui and her colleague, gave us one of the best massages ever.

Our 90-minute Master Therapist Experience at Banyan Tree Spa was truly one of the best massages we’ve had. From the peaceful spa reception, we felt relaxed. Khun Yui welcomed us warmly and discussed our preferences before guiding us to the calming Peppermint Room. Soft lighting, gentle music, and soothing scents set the mood. The skilled therapists blended relaxation with deep tissue work, paying attention to every detail—from warmed towels after each stroke to tea and fruit after the session. It wasn’t just a massage but a full body and mind renewal. We left feeling refreshed, balanced, and ready to do it again.

Pool

Located on the 21st floor, the outdoor pool is surrounded by greenery and sunbeds. Free neck and shoulder massages are offered daily from 13:00 to 16:00 , with fruit and water served from 14:00 to 16:00 hours.

The Gym & Health Club

The gym is fully equipped with cardio and weight machines. Morning workouts at 07:00 helped balance out all the delicious food. The Health Club also hosts yoga, Muay Thai, and pilates classes.

Banyan Tree Gallery

The in-house boutique sells eco-conscious fashion, art, jewelry, and wellness products, supporting sustainable Thai craftsmanship.

Banyan Tree Club Lounge

Guests in select suites can use the Club Lounge on the 19th floor. It offers breakfast, afternoon tea, cocktails, snacks, and private check-in/out. We often relaxed there with a drink and snack during our stay.

Food & Drinks

Romsai

Breakfast at Romsai soon became a favorite part of our stay at Banyan Tree Bangkok. The bright, green space with large windows and an outdoor courtyard made us forget the city around us. Each morning, we enjoyed cappuccinos or Thai iced teas while choosing from buttery croissants, fresh tropical fruit, cold cuts, and cheese.

The egg station stood out, with chefs making eggs just how we liked. We kept going back to the noodle bar—there’s something comforting about a hot bowl of noodles with the right kick of chili in the morning. A highlight was patongo, Thai deep-fried dough dipped in sweet condensed milk—a treat we loved. Every breakfast felt like a quiet, luxurious moment before the busy day in Bangkok.

Bai Yun

Lunch at Bai Yun still brings us joy. On the 59th floor, the views alone were stunning, but the Cantonese food made it unforgettable. We chose dim sum and loved the taste and presentation. The shrimp har gow was delicate and flavorful, while the jade dumpling with bonito flakes had a fun twist—the flakes “danced” in the steam before we ate. The fried tofu skin with shrimp was crispy and tasty, and the Yang Chow fried rice with barbecue pork and roasted duck was rich, balanced, and comforting. For dessert, we shared black sesame and vanilla ice cream, a perfect, subtle finish. Dining at Bai Yun was more than food—it was a full, elevated experience.

Saffron & Saffron Cruise

Saffron, Banyan Tree Bangkok’s signature Thai fine-dining restaurant, is known for modern, refined Thai cuisine. Though we didn’t dine there, we enjoyed its flavors on the Saffron Cruise. This luxury dinner cruise on the Chao Phraya River was a highlight of our stay. As we passed Bangkok’s lit-up landmarks, we savored a multi-course meal by the talented Saffron team, blending rich Thai flavors with creative presentation. The service was perfect, the setting romantic, and each dish a masterpiece. It was a beautiful culinary journey on the water that made our pre-honeymoon unforgettable.

Vertigo, Vertigo Too and Moon Bar

Bangkok’s famous rooftop dining. We enjoyed a romantic four-course meal at Vertigo, then cocktails under the stars at Moon Bar. Don’t miss it!

We LOVE this rooftop restaurant and its Moon Bar! Read our extensive review.

Tahei

Tahei, a two-floor Japanese spot, impressed us with its teppanyaki and sushi. With nearly 100 sakes to choose from, it’s a must for Japanese food lovers.

High Tea at the Lobby Lounge

We enjoyed a lovely high tea with scones, finger sandwiches, and many teas in the elegant lobby lounge.
