Banyan Tree Bangkok Hotel - a spa oasis in the midst of a multimillion metropolis

Banyan Tree Bangkok Hotel is one of the few urban hotels of the Banyan Tree company. It is located in a 198-meter skyscraper in the business center of the city, on South Sathon Road, just a 10-minute walk from the city's key shopping area. The hotel is known primarily for its unique atmosphere: stepping over its threshold, guests seem to forget they are in the heart of a multimillion-megacity and immerse themselves in the relaxed bliss of a spa resort.

Since we are talking about the spa, it is worth noting that this is the specialization of Banyan Tree: it is the first hotel collection with its own spa academy in Phuket. All Banyan Tree Spa specialists at resorts and hotels around the world are trained there, and the academy's diploma is officially recognized by the Ministry of Education of Thailand. The Banyan Tree Bangkok spa center is known primarily for its therapists' ability to breathe life into anyone fatigued by a long intercontinental flight. A variety of massage types will relieve muscle tension, scrubs will cleanse the skin, and masks will help moisturize it. In addition, the hotel offers treatments from the Rainmist collection: it includes hydrotherapy with streams of water at varying pressures and temperatures, combined with steam, followed by a scrub and massage.

Another gem of the hotel is the Vertigo restaurant and Moon Bar on the rooftop with a breathtaking panoramic view of Bangkok: this is truly an iconic spot in the Thai capital, where reservations are required due to the high number of people wanting to enjoy a cocktail at two hundred meters high while watching the sunset. By the way, the Thai royal family visits the hotel several times a year: they come to the Saffron restaurant to taste local cuisine, which is presented here in a "royal" variation. This is because Banyan Tree's executive chef Renu drew inspiration for the Saffron menu from recipes that were used at the court of Thai kings for many centuries. It is this mix of tradition and modernity that attracts many high-profile guests to the hotel. For example, the President of Russia, now Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, has stayed here.
