Anantara Chiang Mai Resort, 5-star hotel in Chiang Mai, Thailand
Anantara Chiang Mai Resort is a 5-star hotel on the banks of the Mae Ping River in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The property sits at the edge of the old town and features low modern buildings set among gardens, along with an outdoor pool.
The hotel opened in the early 2000s under the name The Chedi before joining the Anantara brand. One of the buildings on the property is the former British Consulate, which dates from an earlier era and serves as a reminder of the colonial history of the city.
Restaurant 1921, set inside the old British Consulate building on the property, serves food from northern Thailand, Vietnam, and Sichuan. Guests who look closely will notice hidden rooms and a wall of spy photos that give the dining room a playful, secretive character.
The hotel sits between the old town and the river, making the main temples and the night bazaar easy to reach on foot or by tuk-tuk. The surroundings are quietest in the early morning and evening, which is the best time for a walk along the riverbank.
The hotel employs a 'slumber guru' whose role is to help guests sleep better during their stay. It also offers Muay Thai lessons on the property, which is an unusual option for a riverside city hotel.
