Banyan Tree Bangkok sits in Sathorn, one of the city's main business districts, where office towers, embassies and tree-lined streets lie close to the nightlife of Silom. Several embassies are within a few hundred metres of the hotel, The streets here are calmer than the bars and night markets that Silom is known for.

Lumphini Park, a large public park with lakes and shaded walkways, is 550 m away, and the Lumphini and Si Lom MRT stations are both within 800 m, so the metro is a practical way to get around the city. Jim Thompson House, a traditional Thai house museum devoted to Thai silk and art, is 3.2 km away, and The Grand Palace is 6.1 km away. For longer trips the hotel offers an airport transfer and a taxi service.

A good day could start with a morning walk through Lumphini Park, followed by a visit to Jim Thompson House, where Thai silk and art are displayed in a traditional house. In the afternoon, head to the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew) in the old city, then return to Silom for dinner, where street food stalls and bars line the streets.
