Where? In the main business district of downtown Bangkok, five minutes' walk from the entertainment and shopping area of Silom Road.
Isn't Banyan synonymous with beachside spa resorts? This is the chain's first city incarnation, offering guests a five-star retreat from the hustle and bustle of Thailand's capital.
So it's a new kid on the block? With 63 glossily modern floors, it rivals the supremacy of grande dames such as the Oriental and the Regent. It was also voted one of the three top business hotels by Business Traveller (UK), and the spa treatments are legendary.
An all-rounder, then? From the dizzily glamorous rooftop restaurant to the Banyan Tree Gallery, where guests can cash in on the hotel's impeccable style - from candles to beds - the Banyan Tree has something for everyone.
Sounds like the service is spot on, too? Put it this way, staff take the hotel's motto, 'One call does it all', very, very seriously.
What are the rooms like? Suites, please! Guests can choose from five different types, ranging from the glass-domed, double-storey Presidential Suite - complete with boardroom and personal butler - to the spa suites, which have private treatment rooms. The deluxe suites have all the right business connections - data port, Internet access - as well as stunning city or river views.
