 Shangri-La Hotel, Chiang Mai 

Five-star urban sanctuary

A luxurious and serene retreat in a super-central location in Chiang Mai.

This superb Shangri-La resort in Chiang Mai combines traditional Thai design and modern luxury, conveniently located in the heart of the northern capital. Less than a mile outside the historic walls and an equal distance to the Ping River, you're a short walk from the city's sights such as the famous night bazaar.

Why we love Shangri-La Hotel, Chiang Mai
