MINOR Hotel Group (MHG), a hotel owner, operator and investor, continues to expand across its home country of Thailand by announcing the rebranding of The Chedi Chiang Mai to Anantara Chiang Mai Resort & Spa. The addition to the MHG portfolio is the 100th property in operation and is a strategic location for the luxury discovery brand Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas, which was created in Thailand in 2001.
Anantara Chiang Mai is a boutique retreat of contemporary style, accented by traditional Thai and colonial elements, next to the Mae Ping River. It consists of 84 guest rooms and suites, each featuring a river facing balcony with a double daybed. The rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows offering plenty of sunlight and are designed in contemporary décor of stylish furnishings and neutral hues, accented by jewel-toned Thai silks and distinctive local artefacts.
The property has four restaurants and bars. Area excursions invite guests to discover Chiang Mai’s artistic cafés, crafts and boutique scenes, temples, ancient Lanna Kingdom ruins, bustling markets and authentic Thai eateries.
The property also features business facilities with The Meeting Room and The Boardroom as well as a colonial building that can accommodate up to 200 guests and ideal for weddings and smaller functions.
Dillip Rajakarier, CEO Minor Hotel Group, commented: “The fact that our 100th property is such a significant addition to the portfolio, both with it being such a stunning resort and the strategic addition of a Chiang Mai property to our Thailand collection of Anantara properties makes it even more special. Chiang Mai is a key destination in Thailand and one we have been looking at for development opportunities for a long time, adding the perfect dot on the map as our 11th property in Thailand.”
