Overview

Amata Lanna is a charming and delightful boutique hotel just a stone’s throw from the Ping River in Thailand’s northern reaches. Even though it’s quite centrally located within Chiang Mai, the hotel is designed to offer both comfort and serenity; it’s a place to relax, unwind and take things easy after a day of exploring the lively city and its many attractions. Amata Lanna’s attractive decor and architecture are inspired by and pay tribute to the ancient Lanna kingdom. Teak wood over 100 years old from various villages across northern Thailand is used throughout the hotel’s public areas and guest rooms.

There are 14 deluxe rooms at the hotel and each one is individually decorated. All of the rooms have a private balcony, as well as a jacuzzi bathtub, air conditioning and mosquito nets. In the bathroom there’s a separate bathtub and shower, with bathrobes, slippers and complimentary toiletries provided. Some of the other room amenities include coffee and tea making facilities, an ironing board and iron, a minibar and a flat-screen TV. Most of the rooms have views looking out across the hotel’s central courtyard and pool.

It's easy to get to Chiang Mai’s walled old city, which was once the seat of the Lanna kingdom and is now home to a wide variety of historical and cultural monuments. Many of the city’s top attractions are conveniently located within walking distance of the hotel; these include the popular Chiang Mai Night Bazaar, the Warorot Market, the Vieng-Joom-On Tea House and the Wat Gate, to name just a few.

Back at the hotel, there’s a swimming pool and a jacuzzi, as well as scenic tropical gardens to explore. Buffet breakfast is served daily by the pool and there’s a poolside bar serving a variety of refreshing drinks. Note that the hotel doesn’t have its own restaurant, so there are no on-site options for lunch or dinner, however we can recommend the best local restaurants and provide directions.

Families will be pleased to know children of all ages are welcome. While the hotel can provide cots and extra beds, it doesn’t have any child-oriented amenities or services available. Children are, of course, free to use the pool, though parents should keep an eye on their younger ones as it isn’t fenced and there is no lifeguard.

  • I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.

    Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.

    El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.

    Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.

    So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last

  • Thank you, we had an absolute wonderful time, and everything was well-planned and as described. Carla was crying on the day of our departure from Ants Nest, she didn’t want to go home and for it all to end, and when I asked how much longer she would want to stay, she responded “four weeks”

  • We had the most amazing time. It exceeded all my hopes of what the trip would be. The guides, the hotels - everything was of such a wonderful quality. Thank you for organizing everything. I will absolutely recommend Tourdust and use you again.
