The 260-key urban hotel is slated to open its doors for business in the fourth quarter of 2021. The hotel will comprise a striking 22-floor tower fronted by an adjoining seven-floor podium building.

Meliá Chiang Mai features two restaurants, two bars - connected by a glass bridge, two lounges including an executive lounge on the 21st floor with a panoramic view of Chiang Mai.

“Following the hugely successful opening of Meliá Koh Samui, ranked TripAdvisor’s number one hotel in Koh Samui, Meliá Chiang Mai will be another flagship property for Meliá Hotels International in Thailand,” said  Ignacio Martin, Area Managing Director South East Asia of Meliá Hotels International.

“As we continue to strengthen our growth strategy with our key partners, AWC understands and shares our strong service and hospitality philosophy -- a fundamental factor in ensuring the quality, reputation, and sustainability we strive for.”
