Tall, skinny, rectangular building that is what we call a landmark here in BKK. Staying in the rooms may give you a bit of vertigo if you press your nose against the window and look down - so don't do it. Lots of businessy types staying here but that's not a bad thing as they're of the banker, CEO variety and not the travelling saleman on a tight budget type. Love the spa! Definitely check out the rooftop bar for a drink. It's called Vertigo.

Few cities in the world fire the imagination with exotic images like Bangkok. Ornate palaces that host royal processions, Buddhist temples that witness monks chanting ancient sutras, serpentine canals that lead to a maze of water markets, bazaars that never sleep - all have long proved a powerful magnet for travelers. In this sprawling metropolis, Banyan Tree Bangkok stands out as a much-needed 'sanctuary for the senses' and a rejuvenating spa retreat. Voted in the Gold List as one of 'The World's Best Places to Stay' by Conde Nast Traveler (US) in 2005, Banyan Tree Bangkok is proud to embrace you with the legendary hospitality Thailand is famous for. Just sit back and observe the world from a distance 61 floors up in the sky.
