Hidden between a towering wooden wall and the picturesque Mae Ping River in Thailand’s beautiful northern city, Anantara Chiang Mai Resort & Spa is a luxurious sanctuary of striking contemporary style, accented by traditional Thai and colonial elements.
Relax on your balcony daybed, admiring courtyard gardens or the peaceful flow of Thai river life. Find more tranquil seclusion at our Chiang Mai hotel with lazy waterfront pool days, exotic spa rituals and revitalising yoga, or delve into local culture with Thai boxing, cooking and massage lessons.
Room
Housed in a striking modern building of wood and expansive glass, 84 sleekly designed rooms and suites all boast a private balcony with a daybed, overlooking manicured gardens, The Colonial House or Mae Ping River. Inside, sunlight streams through floor-to-ceiling windows, with contemporary décor of stylish furnishings and neutral hues accented by distinctive local artefacts.
Deluxe Room
Wake up and draw back the curtains with the press of a bedside button. Snuggle up on the cushioned daybed of your private balcony, sipping a tea or coffee amidst the cool morning air. Return from a day of rich exploration to soak in your deep terrazzo tub, either in enclosed privacy or with an extended view by opening the retractable bathroom doors. Then ease into a relaxing evening with a tipple from the mini bar, enjoyed at your outdoor table and chairs, overlooking out beautiful grounds.
Deluxe River View Room
Relax at your balcony’s table and chairs, or recline on your oversized daybed, drinking in soothing views of river life unfolding. In the evenings, open your bathroom’s retractable doors to extend the space and take a lazy soak in the tub, before selecting a nightcap or watching a movie. Sleep in a sumptuous bed and when you wake up, sip a tea or coffee as you catch up on emails or plan a wonderful day.
Kasara Suite
Unravelling over an incredible 105 square metres, Kasara Suites epitomise space and elegance. Rest on your indoor and outdoor daybeds, share meals at the dining table, and fold back your bathroom’s polished wooden doors to soak in the tub with a view. While a range of discerning privileges includes a private butler and exclusive Kasara Lounge experiences.
Kasara River View Suite
Sip a gourmet coffee and read a good book on your inside or outside daybed, as the river comes to life. When the sun sets a romantic glow, order room service and savour a meal at the dining table. Play your favourite iPod tunes, fold back your open plan bathroom’s doors and soak in the deep terrazzo tub, gazing over the illuminated banks. Making your stay even more indulgent, enjoy a host of exclusive in-suite and Kasara Lounge privileges.
