Mandarin Oriental @ Chiang Mai
Hotel Review posted by Mathieu, Belgium in June 2005
This hotel is a work of art. When we heard the owner spent over 100 million euro to build it, we felt every penny was well spent! We stayed at the deluxe villa with a jacuzzi, which was spacious and luxurious (over 200 square meters of space), but watch out for the mosquitos at night. There was a DVD player in the room plus the hotel has a DVD library from which you can borrow films.
The feeling created is one of a traditional village, so you really feel you're at home. Every morning and night when we came back to our villa, a guard greeted us at the street corner. We especially loved having breakfast on the terrace looking out to the rice paddy fields, and although it's a bit pricey (20 euro as I recall) and not included in the rate, it's a must! The complimentary yoga and pilates classes made the stay more "healthy". We also recommend hiring the hotel limousine for airport pick up and drop-off service. For a mere 20 euro per trip, you feel like royalty. Since we stayed at the hotel during the soft opening, some of the facilities weren't yet ready (not a problem though---didn't miss out). We cannot wait to go back when everything is complete. And there were also 2 computers with Internet connection free of charge. We HIGHLY recommend this place. It's expensive but it's worth it. We loved it!
