Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai

We spent four nights here before moving into the old city of Chiangmai and I was honestly sad to leave. From the moment the car left us in the lobby the staff made us feel so loved and welcome. Check in was very smooth and some nice tea was given to us as well as a flower necklace. The sweet lady at check in and a driver took us to our room in a golf cart. The room was spacious and well equipped. Extra large bathtub and great shower. Amenities include a fridge, nice sized tv, ample furniture and a great outside area complete with a swinging sofa. Coffee machine and tea are provided along with lots of bottled water. Also there’s a safe and ironing board and a nice bowl of welcome fruit. Housekeeping was superb as well as turn down service. We ate breakfast twice and the selection was varied and tasty. Breakfast was very satisfying and the service excellent. We walked around the resort several times. The layout is beautiful was landscaping that includes rice patties and lots of trees and flowers and includes ducks and a water buffalo. We also used the pool and jacuzzi and again top notch service from the staff. Everything was kept extremely clean. The location is close to attractions like Tiger kingdom and elephant camps. There is a restaurant close to the back gate and a 7/11 about a 15 minute walk away. Overall this Four Seasons resort was the best choice for this vacation. Thank you Four Seasons Chiangmai staff for a memorable experience.

Everything about this hotel and experience is fantastic. The staff are outstanding (especially Alisa). The property is quite beautiful and meticulously maintained. The rooms are spacious, in excellent condition, well maintained, with great attendants. The restaurants are very well staffed and the food is excellent. Overall, it’s a wonderful experience. HIGHLY recommended.

Our first visit to Thailand and the Four Seasons Chiang Mai. Everything from start to finish was amazing. A brief summary of the highlights. We stayed in a Pool Villa. Spectacular. The jacuzzi and pool combo is fantastic and the ability to tailor water temperature was chefs kiss. Room layout is great and the outdoor space was beautiful. Nothing I would do improve the Villa Food amazing. Breakfast buffet was world class and the two main restaurants offered great views and service. Service. As you would expect world class. From front desk to pool to dining to spa to housekeeping. All done exceptionally well Spa. While in a converted Villa the message services were well done and met our expectations. Main Pool. Service and views were excellent. The only quibble I would have is to heat the pool to some level. Being unheated makes the water a bit cold. Grounds. Exceptional. Excursions. Pretty much anything you want they can arrange. Would highly recommend the Bike Tour. That was very fun and educational of the surrounding area. In sum. World class. Highly recommended

We loved this magical property. Staff was so accommodating. We were able to schedule so many fun experiences. Breakfast was wonderful. Overall a great stay.

We were choosing between this and a highly recommended city hotel. We wanted a true retreat to come back to, and this was the right call. It’s in Mae Rim, so most things involve a drive, but Chiang Mai is still easy by car. The trade only shows up if you try to do multiple round trips in a day (Wat Phra That Doi Suthep at sunrise, back to relax, then into the Old City for dinner). A few notes: Common areas We stayed during festive season, and occupancy was high, but it rarely felt crowded. I’d credit the landscape design for that. Common areas stayed calm and there was ample space at the adults-only pool. Breakfast was the one area that felt crowded, especially late morning. We followed up on a few orders, and there was no greeting at the entrance. Earlier in the morning was no issue. Room selection We stayed in an Upper Garden Pavilion, and I’d recommend an upper-level pavilion. The extra height lends itself to more privacy, and the veranda is genuinely usable. We found it perfect for reading or a quiet meditation between activities. One nitpicky point for a resort at this level: a few small finish issues that went beyond normal wear and tear should’ve been caught before arrival. Nothing was broken per se or limited functionality of the room. The team offered to move us and did what they could to remediate, but we were already settled and didn’t want the disruption. Service and communication Service was professional and consistent, but it didn’t feel especially personalized. The app helped bridge that gap—we could handle small requests or get a quick suggestion without stopping at the front desk. Housekeeping was the one area that felt a bit awkward and could’ve been tightened up. Morning make-up timing was sometimes inconvenient. Turndown was more standard than personalized. None of this was a major issue, but at this price point it should feel seamless. Dining On-property dining is good, but local restaurants in Mae Rim and the Old City are worth the effort. Thai Kitchen Live is the exception. I won’t spoil the surprises, but I’d book it for your first evening. Breakfast was an F&B highlight. Action stations, fruit stations, Thai options, and the standard western options were all excellent. Even with the late-morning crowding, it was one of the better hotel breakfasts in the Four Seasons portfolio. North by Four Seasons was a miss for us. Service ran slow because of a kitchen issue, and the menu felt surprisingly generic relative to the setting. Grounds and on-property activities The grounds are a big reason this place works. You can spend the day moving between the adults-only pool and the rice fields and feel like you actually stayed at the resort, not only used it as a base. Rice planting and buffalo washing are both worth doing. There are other more active experiences and and what I heard to be an amazing spa, but did not take advantage of those. I’d plan for at least one full day on-property. Final take This property is currently rated as a Three MICHELIN Key resort, so expectations were naturally high. Even with a few misses, it wouldn’t change the recommendation. This was one of the strongest Four Seasons stays we’ve enjoyed. At this price point, everything should feel fully polished, and a few things weren’t, which surprised us.
