Le Meridien Chiang Mai

It’s been a while since I’ve written a review but admittedly I had difficulty planning our 3 day trip to Chiang Mai and hope this review will come in handy for others in the same situation: -I feel like the days where you could travel Thailand well on a budget are long gone. Good hotels are expensive and inexpensive hotels are not good. As a result we figured a hotel in the $200/night price range should strike a decent compromise. -I generally like to stay in hotels that have a little bit of local flavor, which Le Meridien Chiang Mai lacked. Upon entering you find a nice spacious and modern lobby filled with the signature ‘Starwood scent’. -Check in was fast, efficient and friendly. As a Bonvoy Gold-Level member we received an upgrade from a Delux Room to an Urban Room, on a higher floor (which I think is the only difference between the rooms). The room was clean, the bed VERY comfortable, but little things annoyed like few towels, bath amenities, only one trash can per room in the bath room, etc. - we had a city view but a Mountain View would probably be nicer. -breakfast, which was decent, was included as were other little Gold Status perks and free internet, which worked well -staff was friendly and concerned throughout -location was good, located between the Ping river and old town, the former was about 10 min walk away, the latter 15 min. The hotel surrounded by hundreds of vendors in the evening that sell the typical local souvenirs and other clothes. Food choices abound around the hotel from simple restaurants to street food. There are also lots of bars and entertainment options around the hotel. -overall this hotel is a solid choice that delivers exactly what you would expect of a hotel in this category in the US.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay! This hotel is beautiful, clean, comfortable and has the most amazing staff. We have taken full advantage of the concierge to recommend restaurants and book a massage at a nearby spa. The staff is on point. They recommended Lemon Grass, a local restaurant, and it had the best Thai food in Chiang Mai. They also recommended River Front market, a delicious restaurant right on the river. I loved my stay! The rooms are comfortable, modern and the bathroom has an overhead shower and hand held option. Everything was cleaned daily with a fresh replenishment of towels and toiletries. Our beds were nicely made each day when we returned. We never needed to call the front desk for towels or anything else. I will definitely be returning to Le Meridien! This place is fantastic.

Thank you very much for enhancing my birthday trip!!! I would like to nominate Khun Ray for assigning room upgrade for my family because of my birthday. We were really appreciated and happy with Doisuthep view. Moreover, Khun Garfield welcomed us with her warm smile and kindness. Khun Lek Porter brought us our luggage and he was really helpful to service us. During breakfast, Khun Pon from Latest Recipe was very enthusiastic to take care of us. My mother was impressed with breakfast buffet very much. We hope we stay here next visit !!! ❤️
