My favorite hotel in the world. Don't miss taking a Thai boxing lesson! The instructor is excellent. Also, the tennis pro is terrific and will play as early as 6:30 AM to avoid the heat. The dark and stormy drinks upstairs are the best ever, better than in Bermuda! Although I am not a spa person, it is the most beautiful spa I have ever seen, particularly in the evening outdoors. And the special restaurant (I've forgotten it's name) which is out/indoors is spectacular.
The rooms are lovely, with great deep bathtubs, excellent air conditioning, and nice and dark for good sleeping. By far the best place to stay in Chiang Mai or frankly probably anywhere in Thailand. The only thing missing is its own elephant preserve!
