If sweet, sweet chocolate therapy, tai chi on the lawns and peaceful river views are your idea of a retreat, then this is the resort for you. Anantara gives the disarming impression that it's far from the well-walked streets of Chiang Mai but it happens to be in easy reach of revered temples and downtown markets. Make the most of this choice locale with a ride on the resort's river boat, sipping on champagne as you drift past quaint Thai homes and spice gardens. Par for the course in this ancient city, Anantara has quite the backstory as the former British Consulate. Trust us, the hotel pays homage in rather original ways!

Overlooking well-kept gardens or babbling river, the rooms at Anantara are modest and uncluttered. Each has an open-plan tropical design, which invites tranquility in, and an airy balcony with a huge day bed and sitting area. The large beds are dressed in white linens and other features include coffee/tea facilities, a TV, rainfall shower or deep terrazzo bathtubs. The Kasara Suites have access to an exclusive lounge for breakfast and cocktail evenings. The Serviced Suites are reached via a walkway and come with a kitchen, dining room and laundry.
Let's just say, The Service 1921 restaurant is a sleek and moody working memento of the British Secret Intelligence Service. Lined with polished lock boxes, spy paraphernalia and old gramophones, it's not a boring place for dinner!
For an extra special night in, stroll down walkways scattered with rose petals to dine by the riverside. Sip on bubbly at sunset and tuck into Thai cuisine prepared by your private chef.
Anantara is larger than it looks with 109 rooms and suites, so you might see a few more people around.
