The Banyan Tree Hotel in central Bangkok is one of Thailand’s premiere urban hotels. As the largest 5 star all-suite hotel in the country, Banyan Tree Hotel prides itself as an urban resort. A better characterization however would be an urban resort, in the sky. The hotel is designed in a unique way, many of its dining options, bars, pools and spa are not on the ground floor, nor even the bottom floors. But soaring over 200 feet up. Start with the pool on the 21st floor, all outdoor with views of the Bangkok skyline and a juice bar with poolside service. Head up another 30 floors or so, and you’ll arrive at the Saffron Sky Garden terrace, the highest garden in the city. Open day and night, relax in tranquility and pick classic Thai street food dishes from the Gardenside restaurant. On the top floor, you’ll come across the Vertigo and Moon bar, which cap the hotel like a crown. Dine al fresco, while eating lobster tail over 61 stories in the air. Lounge in the bar, sipping bespoke cocktails while watching the sunset. And finally you’ll have the best view in the city as night falls and the city truly comes alive. Whether staying at the Banyan Tree or just visiting the rooftop restaurant and bar, no trip to Bangkok is complete until you’ve seen the city from over 600 feet in the air.
