 | Banyan Tree Bangkok: Oasis in the City
|  |
 |
|
 |
The Banyan Tree Group is known for its gorgeous spa hotels dotted around Asia-Pacific. Normally, you find them at the best beach resorts. The Banyan Tree Bangkok is an exception, being located within a bustling city, but once you enter, it's like stepping into an oasis of calm.
This is an all-suite hotel. The standard suites come with a small sitting area and a work desk, with a separate bedroom. The bathroom itself is fairly spacious, and it comes with separate shower and jacuzzi bathtub. You will also find essential oils to set up your own relaxing bath.
When you step into the room, it's beautifully fragranced with burning incense. Orchids are used to add bright touches to the room.
As the Banyan Tree Group promotes environmental consciousness, you will also find daily little souvenirs like toy turtles to remind you to protect the environment.
When staying at any Banyan Tree Group hotel, you must try the body treatments available. The treatments range from Javanese lulur massages to facials to full 3.5 hour relaxation packages. All end with a relaxing health drink, and a cold towel to refresh yourself. Prices are not cheap, but these are guaranteed to send you to heaven!
Vertigo, the restaurant on the rooftop (61st floor!) of the Banyan Tree Bangkok is equally amazing. The entire restaurant is built open-air, so you feel like you're on top of the world literally. Vertigo serves international fare, and is a lovely place to hold business entertainment or enjoy a romantic dinner with the lights of the city twinkling below you.

| Banyan Tree Bangkok: Our favourite hotel

The whole Thailand experience for us started and ended in this wonderful hotel...as we had 4 nights to start the honeymoon and then we spent our last night there after Koh Samui before our flight back to the UK.
We couldn't have started or ended on a better note - I can't fault the Banyan in any way except for one small thing - they refused entry to the roof top bar to my husband bescuse he had open toe sandals on. (He had dressed up especially in long sleeved shirt and linen trousers and smart sandals... but no luck, and yet they let in someone in trainers in front of us!)
The staff were wonderful...all the door men helping us find where we wanted to go, getting taxis and also even remembering our names when we returned 2 weeks later. they re tight on security and each taxi was stopped and a check done on it.
My husband has stayed in many luxury hotels around the world but said this beat them all hands down. I'd go back in a flash!
. The pool at the Banyan was a dream - to be by a pool but about 20 floors up in the middle of the city was bizarre, but the staff were so attentive, bringing cold water and a spritz mentol spray to cool you down. To get to the pool you walked past the spa, which looked amazing, but time and budget meant we were unable to indulge.
As honeymooners we got upgraded to a deluxe suite and had a complimentary afternoon tea - sandwiches, tea and cake, in the lobby - a lovely experience which was enhanced by the afternoon musical entertainment.
The music was evident at every meal, pianist entertained in the morning whislt you ate your fill at the most amazing breakfast buffet I've ever seen... everything you could possibly imagine and more was there. We didn't eat any other meals at the hotel although I am sure we'd not have been disappointed. The lower ground floor restaurant was sided by a huge window which was the garden with pond and house turtle, a wonderful morning view.
The rooms were oustanding... if possible try and get one facing out the front of the hotel as this view is marginally better than the back - although neither disappoint. Everything is provided, 2 different types of robes, slippers, hair dryer, iron & board. Various bath gels and crystals.. and a different insence each day.
Every day you got a daily sheet in your native language with a weather reoprt and daily events around the hotel... and a newspaper outside your door.
