Anantara Chiang Mai Resort is a luxurious riverside sanctuary that seamlessly integrates sleek modern design with the historical charm of a former British consulate. This tranquil retreat offers a sophisticated escape on the banks of the Mae Ping River, perfect for those seeking both cultural immersion and refined serenity.
Wake up and draw back the curtains with the press of a bedside button. Snuggle up on the cushioned daybed of your private balcony, sipping a tea or coffee amidst the cool morning air. Return from a day of rich exploration to soak in your deep terrazzo tub, either in enclosed privacy or with an extended view by opening the retractable bathroom doors. Then ease into a relaxing evening with a tipple from the mini bar, enjoyed at your outdoor table and chairs, overlooking out beautiful grounds.
Relax at your balcony’s table and chairs, or recline on your oversized daybed, drinking in soothing views of river life unfolding. In the evenings, open your bathroom’s retractable doors to extend the space and take a lazy soak in the tub, before selecting a nightcap or watching a movie. Sleep in a sumptuous bed and when you wake up, sip a tea or coffee as you catch up on emails or plan a wonderful day.
Unravelling over an incredible 105 square metres, Kasara Suites epitomise space and elegance. Rest on your indoor and outdoor daybeds, share meals at the dining table, and fold back your bathroom’s polished wooden doors to soak in the tub with a view. While a range of discerning privileges includes a private butler and exclusive Kasara Lounge experiences.
Sip a gourmet coffee and read a good book on your inside or outside daybed, as the river comes to life. When the sun sets a romantic glow, order room service and savour a meal at the dining table. Play your favourite iPod tunes, fold back your open plan bathroom’s doors and soak in the deep terrazzo tub, gazing over the illuminated banks. Making your stay even more indulgent, enjoy a host of exclusive in-suite and Kasara Lounge privileges.

Retaining a retro feel with dark polished teak wood fixtures, high padded bar stools and elegant earth tone floor tiles, the colonial bar within the old British consulate building is an elegant venue for pre-dinner drinks and sophisticated nightcaps.

A fine selection of champagne, along with new and old world wines, have been sourced from around the globe. For cigar aficionados, a large selection of Cuban cigars is available from the Humidor, and can be paired with a single malt from our vast whisky collection. |
