Perfectly complementing the collection of exotic beach, urban and jungle retreats, Chiang Mai is renowned for its diverse and unique appeals, which can now be experienced through Anantara’s journeys of rich discovery and indulgent sense of riverside tranquillity.
BANGKOK – Hidden behind a tall wooden wall and opening onto Chiang Mai’s picturesque Mae Ping River, Anantara Chiang Mai Resort & Spa is Anantara’s newest luxury Thailand hideaway.
Chiang Mai is Thailand’s second largest city and the capital of the north, blending cosmopolitan city elements, ancient ruins and thriving traditions with a surrounding topography of verdant mountains, lush jungle and spectacular national parks. An intriguing destination for story collecting travellers to connect with fascinating history, colourful culture and breathtaking scenery, Anantara Chiang Mai Resort & Spa is a four hour drive from Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort, creating exciting opportunities for a combined escape.
From the outset, travel is pleasant, convenient and inspiring. Situated just a short drive from Chiang Mai International Airport, Anantara Chiang Mai Resort & Spa, once checked in guests guests can rent complimentary bicycles to explore the enchanting riverside and city attractions, or travel local style in one of Thailand’s famous three wheeler tuk-tuks. While for guests who prefer a more browsing style of discovery, the famous Night Bazaar and moated old city are both within walking distance.
The waterfront sanctuary of striking contemporary style is accented by traditional Thai and colonial elements. Housed in a modern building of wood and expansive glass, 84 sleekly designed rooms and suites all feature a river facing balcony, where guests can watch traditional fishing boats drift by as they relax on a comfy double daybed. Inside, sunlight streams through floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating contemporary decor of stylish furnishings and neutral hues, accented by jewel toned Thai silks and distinctive local artifacts.
52 Deluxe Rooms provide 50 square metres of elegantly appointed space, with a sumptuous bedroom adjoining a bathroom that invites long soaks in the deep terrazzo tub and the invigoration of a rain shower. 32 Club Suites impress with 105 square metres of space, from sharing meals at the dining table and luxuriating in a large open plan bathroom, to upgraded amenities such as Bose entertainment, an iPod dock, JURA Swiss brand coffee machine and a complimentary fully stocked mini bar.
