Le Meridien Chiang Rai is a medium sized resort. The premises are beautiful. We had a De Luxe Room which was really spacious and modernly and tastefully furnished. A spacious bathroom with a large walk-in shower. The bed was very comfortable which garanteed a nice nightrest. The room had a big terrace overlooking the pool. By evening and nighttime it was great to stay there.
Due to perfect management everything runs well in this hotel. The general manager and the food and beverage manager are very present and involved with the well being of the guests. They take good notice of you. The staffmembers as well are concerned about you. They were always polite and helpful.
The breakfastbuffet is great. We took part of the sunday brunch which was absolutely fabulous. The flight of wines was a real flight. The food was delicious. At lunchtime you can eat marvellously for extreme reasonable prices. The food in the Italian restaurant was great. The poolservice is pleasant and efficient.
The hotel is a perfect starting point for excursions. For ex to the golden triangle.
We highly recommand this hotel. Everything is well overthere and everything runs well. No wonder that we extended our stay of 3 nights with three nights more.

Only 5 minutes from the airport, Le Meridien Chiang Rai is a charming greenscape of relaxation with the nature theme carefully integrated into every aspect of the resort. Green expanses of the grounds and the river running by, give the resort a refreshing and beautiful setting. The deluxe room was big and comfortable, with a lovely view of the lawns and easy access to the lobby. Their spa was the highlight of a luxurious treatment with scrubs, massages and complimentary sweet beverages. Particularly impressed with the attention to details and thoughtful service rendered by the staff. Their friendliness and attentive service make the stay an absolute delight.

We were upgraded to an oversized deluxe room, and it was really huge... I'd say even too big! with 2 queen-size beds and a huge bathroom with both a full-size bathtub and a big big shower! Real luxury! However, the shuttle bus service is a joke: we were left at the shopping centre once (even though we had booked the pick-up / at least they offered us a free airport transfer to apologize for it), you always had too book it in advance, even for return trips (otherwise it wouldn't even show up), and it only run every 2 hours... Would it cost them too much to have one every half hour and that comes into town for pick-ups even if there are no bookings?
Anyway, the hotel itself is gorgeous: lovely gardens and scenic swimming pool, luxury room and bathroom... Go if you want to splurge without spending a fortune!
