InterContinental Chiang Mai The Mae Ping by IHG

8/10 Good

"Every thing was great"

iThaphae Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I traveled all over Thailand for 28 days and this was my favorite hotel. The concept of less is more couldn’t be anymore true. The rooms were all practically brand new. Water flow amazing from rainfall shower head, beautiful natural light, big screen Tv & cold AC. King size bed as well I was in heaven sleeping here. It’s got a great location next to night markets & boutiques & restaurants a short walk away. But peaceful here, you can sense the tranquility the minute you walk in. Pool is perfect to cool off. I’m a carnivore, but even the vegetarian breakfast blew me away! The chef carefully curated such dynamic options, loved starting my day with this breakfast! They also give u access to all the bottled water you want 24/7… most hotels only give you 2 a day. The staff was beyond delightful they always greeted with smiles & were more than eager to help me with suggestions. This place was amazing and left me with such a fond memory of Chiang Mai I can’t wait to come back. 10/10!!!"
