RatiLanna Riverside Spa Resort in Chiang Mai joins Preferred Hotels & Resorts

The RatiLanna Riverside Spa Resort in Chiang Mai, Thailand has joined Preferred Hotels & Resorts collection of luxury properties.

The 75-room boutique resort is nestled along the banks of the Ping River and captures the charm of Chiang Mai's ancient Lanna heritage, a consistent theme featured in its extensive use of teak in its décor, display of local handicrafts, and rich local cuisine. The use of environment-friendly materials and concepts has also been used throughout construction including the resort's infinity pool - one of the only pools in Chiang Mai using water treatment by ozone to prevent the use of chlorine.

Fully-equipped with modern conveniences, guestrooms provide river views, private balconies, widescreen plasma televisions, home theaters, wireless broadband Internet, and bathrooms with built-in LCD TV as well as rain showers. Additionally, each of the 17 Deluxe Suites offers a Jacuzzi with built-in LCD TV and a separate dining area within a generous 120 square meter space.

The resort is home to The Aspara, an award-winning spa with a blend of Asian and Western therapies. Recreational facilities include an outdoor infinity pool, an outdoor Jacuzzi, sauna and fitness center. Five food and beverage outlets present diverse options.

In keeping with the Lanna tradition, cultural activities include traditional boat rides from the resort's private pier along the river to take in Chiang Mai's local attractions, Thai cooking classes and even the opportunity to partake in the traditional custom of "making merit" by offering food to visiting monks.

"After considering many international hotel chains, we believe that Preferred Hotels & Resorts is the right partner for Ratilanna with its clear vision of growth and support system. They will provide sales and marketing support on a global scale, especially to important leisure and MICE outbound markets of North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East," said Mr. Vorapong Muchaotai, General Manager, RatiLanna Riverside Spa Resort.
