For years Chiang Mai, in Northern Thailand, was home to just one major international standard five star hotel or resort, The Four Seasons, which was previously known as The Regent Chiang Mai. This exclusivity though, is fast becoming something of the past.

Recently the unique destination in itself, the Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi Chiang Mai, opened its doors or villas to be more precise, and more major five star resort and hotel operators are staking their claim on the growing number of five star business and leisure travellers to the city. Sheraton may well dispute what we have just said, but what was previously the Westin is very much a standard 'city' style hotel and we would rate it more upper four star than a true five star product.

If you are a beach person, then Chiang Mai is not the right place for you as it is inland and does not offer a beach. Some of the resorts in Chiang Mai though have managed to achieve a true resort feel, where you can be left wondering which way the beach is.

While it took some time for the five star brands to open in Chiang Mai, there are many mid-market hotels such as the Amari Rincome Chiang MaiImperial Chiang Mai, Novotel Chiang Mai, Royal Princess Chiang Mai to name but a few.

Below we offer a selection of reviews of some of the best hotels in Chiang Mai.
