I had an amazing stay at Amata Lanna Village. This is an absolutely beautiful small luxury hotel on the outskirts of Chiang Mai. The ladies that were working there were so kind and so helpful. The rooms, the pool, and the grounds were beautiful, peaceful, and so comfortable.
I was a little concerned about booking a place not right in the middle of town. But that ended up being a great decision because it meant there was very little of the city noise. And it was only a ten-minute inexpensive Grab ride into town. That meant I slept like a baby on the very comfortable bed with no loud city noise.
The room, 1 of 14 I believe, was as luxurious as any I've experienced in 48 countries of travel. Beautiful teak furniture, a large bathroom with a spa bathtub, a mini-split air conditioner that was so cold in the hot summer mugginess, and very well insulated walls where I heard nothing from the outside.
The morning breakfast was custom-made. They provided laundry service at a very reasonable 150 baht per kilo which took care of all my dirty laundry. Most hotels charge per item which is absurd. The service and hospitality was so lovely. This may be my favorite hotel I've ever stayed at. You'll love it here.
