When one thinks of Chiang Mai one thinks about nature and culture. Staying at Anantara Chiang Mai Resort brings one exactly closer to experience those. The resort, the latest addition to the growing Anantara hotels and resorts portfolio, has blended time-honored elements of the location with definitive modern touches to give guests a hotel experience that will not be easily forgotten.
A luxurious waterfront sanctuary of striking contemporary style, and accented by traditional Thai and colonial elements, this resort located by the Mae Ping River, could be your perfect reason to escape to the North.
If it’s nature in Chiang Mai that you came for, Anantara Chiang Mai Resort (123-123/1 Charoen Prathet Road, Changklan, Muang // Tel: +66 (0) 53 253 333 Email: chiangmai@anantara.com) lets you get real close to it even without exploring Chiang Mai’s surrounding topography of verdant mountains, lush jungle and spectacular national parks.
The resort’s deluxe rooms and the Kasara suite offer a tranquil, scenic view with large green trees, grass, and the riverside visible from every corner of your spacious room. The suites, over 105sqm in size and ideal for family stays, are equipped with a dining area, daybed, large open plan bathroom and yoga mats for a spa retreat.
During a warm afternoon, you would do well to dive into the infinity riverside pool for a luxurious intake of this majestic space or sunbathe under the clear blue sky. With the walls enclosing the hotel from the pool and out facing the river and greenery, there is nothing more divine or relaxing.
If culture is your reason for visitor, the resort is your veritable passport to the city–Thailand’s second largest and the capital of the north–where ancient ruins and thriving traditions are just a drive or walk away. Connecting with Thailand’s ancient Lanna history and traditions in a breeze. Riverside attractions, the Night Bazaar and the moated old city are all within walking distance. Tuk-tuks or songtaews offer local style travel around the city.
World-class facilities offer energizing days at the beautiful resort. Guests can sunbathe in quiet seclusion and swim in the 34m-long riverside pool, watching little ones play in the shallow children’s section. Working out in the fitness center and a wide range of exercise classes are made more inspiring with a river vista. Retreating to the tranquil inner sanctum of Anantara Spa provide you with some pure holistic pampering rituals, and exploring the restaurants and bars results in some unique culinary experiences as well.
If you’re in Chiang Mai to do some business, do not worry. The resort’s business and meeting facilities will more than meet your requirements. And if you have a special event booked, the resort has a theme, concept, and venue to match your dreams: charming colonial spaces, elegant riverside decks, rooftop splendor — with exquisitely tailored menus and inspiring entertainment options offering bespoke ways to celebrate in signature style.
And there’s more. The private car service has Wi-Fi connections for guests to easily visit the city from end on end without fear of losing touch with social media. Or you can just stretch out after a long day at the Lobby Lounge right by the pond, in a colonial house décor with a daybed cushions while enjoying refreshing beverages and light snacks.
With an impeccable service keeping the spirit of luxury, comfort, and convenience throughout your stay at Anantara Chiang Mai, you’d be planning your return trip before you know it.
