Interview with GM of Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi, Chiang Mai

[HD video below] On 1 April 2011, TravelNewsAsia.com interviewed Mr. Greg Liddell, General Manager of the luxurious Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

In the interview, we ask why the name of the hotel is longer than most other Mandarin Oriental hotels, what Dhara Dhevi means, which markets they target, how the global economic crisis and political turmoil in Thailand has impacted business, what the resort is all about, how the many different room categories and villa types differ, and whether the hotel will open a celebrity restaurant just like some other Mandarin Orientals and other upper 5-star hotels are doing.

We also learn about a brand new project which is under construction on the expansive grounds of the hotel, how many rooms and villas this new project will have, whether they are for sale, whether a return on investment is guaranteed and when they are scheduled to open.

Plus, you will discover whether the "singing bridge" is a design mistake and where the idea came from, plus much, much more.
