Fodor's Expert Review Kantary Hills

A showpiece of the Thailand-based Cape & Kantary Hotels collection, this large and stylish complex dominates the glitzy Nimmanhemin Road district. A terrace café and bar draw attention along Nimmanhemin, and beyond them lies an airy lobby bordered by quiet corners, a well-stocked reading room, an intimate lounge with leather furnishings, and a restaurant reputed to serve the most succulent steaks in Chiang Mai. The apartmentlike rooms have sleek dark surfaces and are furnished with local silks and Italian-style easy chairs and sofas.
