Anantara Chiang Mai Resort & Spa

What an amazing and a memorable stay! We spent (4) nights at the fabulous Anantara Chiang Mai this month; wished we could have extended our trip. Everything was a total perfection from the airport pick up at arrival to drop off (we booked a package that included the noted service). The Kasara River Suite is absolutely stunning, spacious (love the outdoor lanai and sitting area), and very private. The breakfast spread was something to look forward to every morning. We loved our table overlooking the Ping River, under the (2) majestic Bodhi Trees. By the second day, the very attentive staff remembered our table preference. The pool is also beautifully set up (alongside an L-shaped Koi pond) and it was such a relaxing spot for us after our daily afternoon happy hour (at The Verandah 1921) and a long day exploring the old city and temples. As a repeat visitors to CM, we really like the location of the resort. It is just outside of the old city perimeter walls, is easily accessible via a tuk tuk and or you can also stroll slowly for 20 minutes more or less into town. Once we arrive in the lobby and the compound, we feel very much remove from the hustle and bustle of Chiang Mai and entering a bubble of serenity and tranquility. The evening before checking out, we made a reservation at the resort's gorgeous 1921 House Restaurant (yes, the structure is a landmark from 1921). We had such a great meal, service, and again....the most genuine hospitable service from the team. We also probably had some of the best sleeps on this trip. At last, we would like to thank everyone from Anantara CM to make our stay one of the best highlights in our itinerary (Charles, First, Mark, and all the other team members). We can't wait to return next year! Bravo!

This is a review of a very special 48th wedding anniversary dinner at the Bodhi Terrace in the Anantara. We started with delicious cocktails in their Brit bar before heading to the Bodhi with its wonderful river views. The food & the service by our waiter Song were equally stunning. The river prawns in red curry are the size of lobster & totally delicious. And with our coffee appeared an anniversary chocolate cake which totally made our evening. We weren’t staying in the hotel but close by at the Amata Lanna boutique hotel but we weren’t staying so glad we’d thought to book our special dinner here. A truly five star experience from start to finish!

Great hotel, superb service, room is a good size, no garden rooms seem to have a really good view but it didn’t matter. Staff were very helpful. Lovely design in the hotel the only niggle is the lighting in the room. The sitting area has NO light near it, a simple fix it would seem. If you want to read at night you have to sit at the desk. Would recommend the hotel though, great location.

Nice environment and nice staff, the food is also very nice. If you like a peaceful environment along with friendly staff I will highly recommend to have your vacation here for a couple of nights.

Anantara Chiang Mai Resort is a rare combination of heritage and modern design. The centerpiece is the former British Consulate, now The Service 1921 restaurant, which retains its elegant colonial charm. Surrounding it, the resort’s rooms and suites are designed in a contemporary Lanna style, with warm teakwood, clean lines, and subtle northern Thai details that create both comfort and sophistication. Rooms are spacious, stylish, and filled with natural light. Service was excellent throughout – especially Khun Kevin, whose warm and attentive hospitality made me feel truly welcome. The highlight is the breakfast. With a generous buffet and a refined à la carte menu, every dish is crafted with care and presented like fine dining. Without doubt, it is the best breakfast in Chiang Mai.
