Only the tropical vegetation hints that this highly stylish, modern hotel is in Thailand and not a boutique establishment in central Milan or Munich. Rooms are furnished in a sleek Italian style, with retro-looking primary colors, crisp white linens, and claw-footed, stand-alone bathtubs in some of the suites. Most rooms are grouped around a secluded pool and a large wooden sundeck.
Rich hues, warm lighting, and grand Moroccan architectural flourishes set a distinctly exotic tone at this boutique hotel well away from the city center. The North African touches continue in the rooms, which have plush furnishings and heavy velvet drapes.
In the heart of downtown, this sleek, modern hotel is among the best in central Chiang Rai. Spacious rooms are decked out in dark woods and fine fabrics. Public rooms are in "Grand Hotel" style, with fat pillars and well-upholstered sitting areas. Outside is a large pool and spacious terrace. The Golden Teak restaurant serves Thai, Chinese, and other fare. The hotel has a fun, plush karaoke room.
