Designed to honour Chiang Mai’s traditional Lanna history, while also celebrating the city’s present-day appeal, the 29-key resort boasts a prime waterfront location and offers spacious luxury accommodation, a stunning rooftop pool and constantly evolving menus of world-class cuisine, especially created by a winning chef from Iron Chef program.
Taking Chiang Mai’s iconic Wat Umong as inspiration – a forest temple known for its unique tunnels and meditation spaces – and also referencing Chiang Mai’s ancient walled city, the distinctive new resort seamlessly blends old and new, traditional and contemporary, and offers guests a unique experience that salutes the past while being undeniably modern.
The property was built on the site of an old rice winery and actually unearthed some antique remnants during the construction with a great effort went into preserving the natural features of the estate, which included a dramatic row of 120-year-old tamarind trees, all of which remain standing as part of the hotel’s unique character.
The guests can stroll along a peaceful riverside path right in front of the resort, go kayaking on the river, or head up to the rooftop, which offers a fully equipped gym, generous lap pool complete with sunken loungers, a kids pool and deep water overlooking the property’s grand tamarind trees and river frontage. Open exclusively to resort guests, the intimate yet spacious rooftop space also has a bar and provides the perfect place for a cocktail while watching the sun sink behind the iconic Doi Suthep mountain range.
