This hotel grows on you. Of course, upon arrival you can’t help but notice that the property is beautiful and the service even better. But the longer that you stay at the hotel, you are captured by the Chiang Mai zen…a feeling like nature is the star here and you are just a lucky member of its audience. A couple tips if you are lucky enough to score a reservation. There are two restaurants on the property-one Thai, one Western. I would skip the Western and just stick to the Thai. Also, if you are looking for something different, try the independent, farm to table restaurant Terra, which is at the base of the driveway. We had a great experience and thanks goes to the stellar staff!
