In days gone by, the Banyan tree provided shelter to weary travellers. Symbolising the relief and comfort provided by nature, we adopted the name for our special group of hotels that stretch across the globe and offer rest and relaxation to the world-weary. With attentive yet discreet service and associates representing more than 50 nationalities, Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts provide naturally-luxurious, ecological, culturally-sensitive experiences. Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts has grown into one of the world's leading international operators in the hospitality and spa industry that manages more than 40 resorts and hotels, 60 spas, 70 retail galleries and three championship golf courses in 28 countries.
