We lived everything. It is extremely elegant and every room in the hotel is full of details. The guests are really taken care of in every aspect. The reception staff was very helpful and always ready to give full information when we needed. We did not want to leave as it is located in a very quite safety area of the city with less tourists and a feeling of a more authentic atmosphere of high level residency area. During our visit to Chiang Mai we stayed 3 different luxury boutiques hotels, this is the jewel.
