Forbes Travel Guide
2026
Towering at 61 stories high, Banyan Tree Bangkok is a uniquely narrow hotel that has been a fixture of the city’s skyline since it opened in 2002. The luxury hotel’s most noteworthy attraction is its iconic rooftop hot spot, Moon Bar, arguably the best place in town to admire sprawling Bangkok from above.

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along South Sathon Road in the embassy district, with the shaded running paths of Lumphini Park just a short stroll away.
The rooms
Suites feature warm wood furnishings, Thai silk accents, separate living spaces, oversized soaking tubs, and sweeping skyline views across Bangkok.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 21st-floor open-air lap pool sits among tropical greenery and waterfall spouts, looking out over the Bangkok skyline.
The spa
Sixteen treatment suites span three floors, dedicated to traditional Thai massages, herbal body scrubs, and signature hydrotherapy.
At the table
Moon Bar mixes cocktails on the open rooftop deck, and high-floor dining rooms serve Cantonese and regional Thai dishes.
How it began
Housed in the slender Thai Wah Tower II, the property opened in 2002, transforming the building's former rooftop helipad into a destination sky bar.
