Ayatana Hamlet & Spa - Chiang Mai

A peaceful sanctuary tucked on the edge of Chiang Mai city, Ayatana Hamlet & Spa is a delightful boutique hotel that exudes charm and elegance as well as a top-rated spa.

Set in low-rise buildings capped with pitched roofs, the Ayatana Hamlet and Spa hotel 36-rooms and suites are adorned with distinctive Lanna Thai accents such as wooden beams, faded northern-style murals and bright red pillars with gold leaf motifs.

The 36 guestrooms and suites offer a sophisticated blend of traditional Lanna design with contemporary comforts. The sumptuous interiors are graced with paneled ceilings, teakwood furnishings and oversized beds covered with crisp white linen and exquisite bed runners. Bathrooms are tucked behind a wooden door, and host expansive spaces with large rain-head showers. Split across two levels, the suites offer plenty of space and privacy with separate living area and luxurious bathrooms.

Enclosed by parasol-shaded daybeds, frangipani trees and landscaped greenery, the cobalt-blue swimming pool provides a heavenly respite perfect for afternoon lounges. After the sun has set, the pool terrace makes an inviting spot for intimate conversations and romantic candlelight dinners. For wellness seekers, the established Sabun Nga Spa features a fabulous range of signature massages and treatments amid its chic, relaxed ambience.

The hotel's restaurant serves Thai classics alongside Western staples, which can be enjoyed in the cool air-conditioned comfort or al fresco in the shaded terrace overlooking the swimming pool. For more adventurous palates, venture into the nearby streets surrounding Chiang Mai University to sample local street fare. 

Ayatana is the perfect oasis of calm to retire to after a day of exploring ornate Northern Thai temples and browsing for handmade souvenirs at exotic bazaars.
