There is not much that can be said about the Four Seasons other than it is without a doubt one of the most beautiful properties, not only in Thailand but in the whole of South East Asia. Located about 30 minutes out of town, everything, from the service and design of the hotel to the extensive gardens and surrounding rice paddy fields, is flawless. For these reasons, it makes it almost impossible to leave!
If you only have a couple of days in Chiang Mai, you definitely want to base yourself in town to make the most of exploring the area. If you have more time to play with and want to sample some of Thailand’s true luxury, then definitely plan to spend a few days at this stunning hotel.
Insider tip: It offers some of the most exclusive private residences you can find, but for a classic room, with spacious balcony and the best paddy field views on the whole property, I would definitely recommend the Upper Rice Terrace Pavilion as a comfortable and more than adequate option. If extra special romance is what you need, try one of the pool villas, which add more space, your own private pool and all those added extras that give you that unforgettable experience.
