Anantara Chiang Mai Resort & Spa

Stayed here for 2nd time. Previous time it was still under The Chedi management. The hotel did not age at all as it was very well maintained. The service standards in fact has improved. Received excellent service from many of their staff members including Aoi, Tong and Bright. Check-in was welcoming with a good welcome massage. Check-in by Aoi was friendly and detailed. Stayed in the Kasara Garden View suite for 1st 2 nights followed by the river view suite on the last night. The Kasara suites are fantastic and worth the extra amount as the suites are huge and comfortable. The river view suite has gorgeous views of the Mae Ping river. The Kasara Lounge serves evening cocktails from 6-8pm daily with a variety of cocktails and wines and canapes. The canapes were delicious and cocktails potent. The Kasara lounge staff is all very friendly and attentive. They make sure that you always have a drink at hand. The pool service was fantastic as the poolboy ran over to us with umbrellas when it started to rain. Very few 5 stars hotel does that. The resort pool by the river is beautiful and serene. There are hardly any guests using the pool there when I was there throughout my stay. The Service 1921 restaurant is also worth trying as the food is delicious and the décor unique and nicely done. Service is great too. Overall, highly recommended!

My sister and I planned a two week holiday to Thailand. This resort was AMAZING and the best out of all the places we stayed. Excellent staff and spotless amenities. Will definitely be back. Loved it!!

Tranquil and serene, amazing! So central and yet so tranquil! We were checked in at the lounge, maybe because we booked a Kasara River View Lounge, and they are incredible...they served us tea, explained us everything and even gave us some choices of soap aromas to choose from! The room was amazing...clean, big, cosy, with a large bathroom equipped with both shower and bathtub. The balcony with multiple seating is huge and with amazing view over the river...can highly recommend the Kasara River View Suite! The hotel is really amazing! Central, but so nice, clean and tranquil! You see people all the time cleaning things and tidening the surroundings. The pool is nice next to the river, with towels, serving and nice warm water! There is also nice breakfast/dinner restaurant and a really cosy and great dinner restaurant at the 2 floor (1921), with views of the garden and river. We had access to the Kasara Lounge, no shorts and sandals 6-8 pm, where you get free snacks and tea and coffee and get pampered, and between 6-8 you get free drinks, wine etc... I can not praise this hotel enough for their service, pampering, cleanliness, serenity, tranquility and just over all feel...wanna move in!

The service, room, and restaurants were outstanding. There are so many things to do and see in the area, but just lounging and feasting on this property is a great change of pace. Talk about pampered!

I love this resort, when you first arrive you are coming down a busy busy street wondering how you will relax, the car pulls into a covered entry way and you take three steps into the open air reception and suddenly all that hectic busy heat leaves you and you immediately feel relaxed. The reflection pools in the open air lobby are wonderful. You see hints of the old British consulate building which has now been fully refurbished and it looks stunning. The staff Immediately sit you down and get you that tea that changes colour (always forget its name). We are GHA members so do receive upgrades upon checkin and we are immediately told we are being upgraded to a suite and not only that they gave us the suite we stayed in before :) The rooms here are outstanding there is so much space inside and out, and it is done very tastefully. The staff here are the real showpiece though. My Hermes aftershave bottle broke and I could not use it (brand new 100ml bottle ?!) I told a member of staff and a couple of hours later some reusable spray bottles arrived in our room at no cost so I could decant what was left of my aftershave into, talk about service ! We ate at the old consulate and the Michelin star restaurant. Both are amazing and worth the money. Breakfast here is beautiful and casual. Just watch your step when going for juice, saw more than one guest end up in the reflection pond lol We love it and we will be back :)
