Anantara Chiang Mai Resort & Spa

My wife and I had the privilege of staying here for 4 days. We had the best time ever; Tik and her entire TEAM (special shout out to BJ in concierge and Pai from the front desk) made us feel like family. They curated local experiences for us that allowed us to have a full Chiang Mai experience. Looking forward to our return soon.

This is a beautiful hotel, my wife and I loved our stay here. But where the hotel really excels is the service. We loved learning how to make Lanna flags from Bright and Pai. At the riverfront restaurant, our server Jane went above and beyond by teaching us how to eat Thai river prawns. The housekeeping staff was excellent. I regrettably didn't catch our housekeepers' names but they left lovely gifts, and always said hello.

A superb hotel really well located for exploring Chiang Mai, although the hotel is so beautiful you won’t want to leave! Great rooms, incredibly friendly, welcoming & super attentive staff, fabulous selection of food at breakfast, delicious meals & cocktails in the 1921 restaurant which is located in the former British Consulate & we had an amazing afternoon tea on the terrace too!

I have recently returned from a multi centre trip to Thailand and one of the highlights of my trip was a three night stay at the Anantara in Chiang Mai. The hotel is in a stunning location on the banks of the Mae Ping River. I stayed in a Deluxe River View room and it was magical. The hotel is spotlessly clean, the staff were all really friendly and helpful, and they could not do enough to make my visit feel special. One of the highlights of my trip (being a foodie!) was one to one tuition with Chef Por (assisted by the lovely Eye) in Spice Spoons. Although I am used to cooking Thai food at home, this was in a different league and I learnt so much from Chef Por who took me round a local market and then taught me to make some exquisite dishes that I can't wait to replicate at home. A truly wonderful experience. Both the chef and Eye were so keen to pass on their knowledge of the wonderful Thai food. I loved the food in the Bodhi Terrace restaurant. My favourite dish for dinner was the deep-fried soft-shell crap with black and white sesame seeds and a spicy tamarind sauce. I am also a big fan of pad kaprao and their version made with wagyu beef was so yummy! Also an excellent selection of food for breakfast. I would love to return to Chiang Mai one day and I will definitely return to the Anantara. Thank you to everyone for making my stay so enjoyable.

Excellent service & amenities. Very relaxing stay! Highly recommended. Special mention to Gam & Bright at reception.
