All-suite Sathorn tower crowned by Vertigo, Moon Bar and a city spa.
Banyan Tree Bangkok is one of those hotels you recognise by its rooftop long before you ever check in. The tower rises over Sathorn with all-suite rooms stacked above the city, while Vertigo & Moon Bar sit open-air on the very top, turning sunsets and late nights into full events. Inside, the mood is “urban resort”: spa, pool and restaurants on the lower levels, big-window suites above, and that sense of being slightly removed from the street even though you’re in the middle of the business district.
Unlike many city hotels, Banyan Tree goes almost all-in on suites. Rooms start high up in the tower, so even entry categories come with wide views – towards the skyline, Lumpini’s greenery or the Chao Phraya side in the distance. Floor-to-ceiling windows make the most of it, and layouts tend to include separate sitting areas, generous workspaces and bathrooms that feel big enough for two people to get ready without bumping into each other.
Club-level categories add lounge access, with quieter breakfasts, all-day refreshments and evening drinks, which is useful if you’re here on business or just like a calmer start and end to each day. The overall look is classic Banyan Tree: warm woods, Asian-inspired touches and a focus on comfort rather than trend-driven design, so it ages gracefully and suits repeat guests as much as first-timers.
For many people, the appeal is the combination: proper suite-style living with those high views, plus the knowledge that you can be on one of the world’s most famous rooftops just by taking the lift all the way up.
Vertigo and Moon Bar are the headline act: an open-air restaurant and bar duo on the 61st floor, with 360-degree skyline views, a long, narrow deck and nothing but air between you and the city lights. Vertigo handles the grill and full dinners, while Moon Bar specialises in cocktails under the stars – the kind of place where you plan to stay for one drink and end up staying for three.
If the weather turns or you prefer something indoors, Vertigo TOO sits one level below with floor-to-ceiling windows, live music on selected nights and a more lounge-like bar atmosphere. Between this and the other venues in the building, you have a full evening line-up without ever leaving the property.
Down at spa level, Banyan Tree Spa Bangkok leans into Asian-inspired treatments using natural ingredients: traditional Thai massages, scrubs, long ritual packages and signature combinations like the Royal Banyan. It’s polished and quietly luxurious, more about hands-on technique than flashy hydro gimmicks. After treatments, tea and small sweets extend the experience a little longer.
The hotel also has an outdoor pool with city views, a fitness centre and the usual five-star facilities – meeting rooms, breakfast buffet, additional bars and restaurants – so you can keep everything from meetings to downtime inside one vertical stack if you want to.
