Mercure Chiang Mai

The Mercure Chiang Mai is an absolute steal for the price. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the entire stay, from check-in to checkout. The room is spacious with a very comfortable mattress—perfect for a good night's sleep. I was especially impressed by the free extension of checkout time until 6 PM, just a small fee of 600 THB. It made our departure so stress-free. In my experience, this hotel outshines others in the same category—excellent value, great service, and a relaxing atmosphere. Definitely one of the best choices in Chiang Mai.

Novotel Chiangmai Nimman Journeyhub

This Chiang Mai hotel is an absolute gem! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Nimman Road and Maya Shopping Center, making it super convenient for dining, shopping, and exploring without needing to worry about transportation. It’s like having the heart of the city right at your doorstep. The ambiance blends effortlessly with classic Southeast Asian charm—lush greenery in the courtyard, spacious and quiet public areas, and a peaceful vibe that instantly relaxes you the moment you step in. The room itself was spotless, thoughtfully designed, and filled with little touches that made the stay feel effortless and comfortable. But the breakfast? Absolutely outstanding. The presentation was beautiful, the toast soft with a rich, toasty flavor, and the coffee was perfectly balanced and smooth. Even the small condiments felt intentional and delicious. Eating by the sunny breakfast area while enjoying the view truly elevated the whole vacation mood. Every aspect—location, atmosphere, food, service—exceeded expectations. If you're looking for comfort, convenience, and great value in Chiang Mai, this is the place to stay. Highly recommended!

Movenpick Suriwongse Hotel Chiang Mai

Staying at Movenpick Suriwongse Hotel Chiang Mai was a real highlight of my trip. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of the city, just a short walk from popular spots like 3-Thai Noodles, Squid Boat Noodle, and Flo Coffee. I loved how convenient everything was: a 7-Eleven and scooter rental shops were literally just 30 meters away, making it easy to explore on my own terms. Tower Gate (Talat Phua) is only a 10-minute stroll, perfect for catching the evening vibe. While the surrounding area is more upscale and quiet compared to bustling local markets, the nearby night market still offers a mix of international flavors—though not deeply rooted in traditional Thai street food. Prices are a bit higher, and it feels more like a Western-friendly food scene than a local favorite. That said, the hotel itself delivers a high level of comfort. The room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, though the air conditioner did make some noise when running—nothing too disruptive, but worth noting. No view from the window is a small downside, but overall, the excellent location, cozy ambiance, and great service made up for it. Definitely recommend for travelers who value convenience and a peaceful stay in central Chiang Mai.

Anantara Chiang Mai Resort

Anantara Chiang Mai Resort is a true classic — the kind of place that feels timeless and effortlessly luxurious. A friend once mentioned that a local hotel in China was inspired by this one, and while that property is good too, staying here made me realize just how much more special the original is. Kerry Hill’s signature design really shines through — it’s natural, serene, and deeply relaxing. I spent hours at breakfast by the river, enjoying every bite while soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. And yes, I actually bumped into Lei Jiaxin and his family — talk about a surprise! The riverfront loungers are pure bliss; I napped there for the entire afternoon. The highlight? I arrived on Mid-Autumn Festival. After a long day, I slipped into the spacious bathtub, lit candles, and just stared out at the moonlight. It felt like a moment suspended in time. This isn’t just a stay — it’s a memory in the making. Highly recommended.

The housekeeping team is top-notch; every room is spotless and meticulously maintained. Staff are friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The pool has been fully renovated and is now open, offering a peaceful retreat with a beautiful setting.

Cross Chiang Mai Riverside

Staying at Cross Chiang Mai Riverside was an absolute delight from start to finish. The property's red-brick architecture is stunning, blending traditional charm with elegant French-inspired design—every corner feels like a scene from a postcard. Breakfast and brunch were exceptional, rivaling Michelin-starred standards with fresh, delicious options that kept us coming back for more.

The staff went above and beyond—always smiling, attentive, and genuinely warm. It’s rare to find such attention to detail combined with genuine hospitality. The location is quiet yet convenient, just a short ride from downtown Chiang Mai. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s a memorable experience.

Anantara Chiang Mai Serviced Suites

This is my third time staying at Anantara Chiang Mai Serviced Suites, and I can confidently say I’m even more in love with it than before. The location is unbeatable—right next to Anurak Market, with a small convenience store and a large supermarket just steps away. Eating out and grocery shopping are so convenient, no need to go far. The property is split between standard rooms and suites, separated by a quiet street. I personally prefer the rooms—the atmosphere is cozier, and just lying in bed watching the trees sway outside feels incredibly peaceful. The suites, on the other hand, are perfect for families or groups of friends who want more space and room to gather without feeling cramped. Breakfast is excellent—wide variety, satisfying both local and international tastes. My favorite part? Having breakfast by the riverbank, enjoying the morning breeze and the gentle sound of flowing water. No matter how many times I visit Chiang Mai, this is always my go-to hotel. It’s consistently comfortable, well-located, and delivers a truly memorable stay. Highly recommended.
