In the early years, our founders arrived in a quiet fishing village in Hong Kong's Banyan Tree Bay. Long before them, the banyan tree had already earned its place in local memory, its wide branches a natural shelter where travellers stopped to rest.
That same shelter is what we borrowed when we chose our name. However you arrive, happy, or simply curious, you leave carrying a feeling you did not have before.
