Sanctuary of the Banyan Tree
The banyan is a unique tree among trees. As the tree grows, it develops aerial roots that hang to the ground from branches supporting the massive canopy. Ancient merchants and traders conducted business beneath a banyan tree to guarantee success. People gathered in the shade of banyan trees to relax and socialize. Robinson Crusoe made his home in a banyan tree in the classic novel by Daniel Defoe. The banyan tree is sacred in many parts of the world.
The Banyan Tree Bangkok luxury spa resort echoes the beauty and sanctuary of the sacred banyan tree. The all-suite Banyan Tree Bangkok, a member of Leading Hotels of the World, wraps guests in a cocoon of comfort and pleasure. In ancient Hindu mythology the banyan was believed be a wish-fulfilling divine tree. Fulfilling wishes at the Banyan Tree Bangkok is no myth. Warm Thai hospitality makes every guest feel like a VIP.
Located in the central business district of Bangkok, the hotel is a serene haven amid the hustle and bustle of this busy city. The Banyan Tree Club offers executive travelers luxury business travel facilities and services complemented by rejuvenating and exclusive award-winning spa facilities and special complimentary touches like a neck and shoulder massage and beverages and canapés.
