Riverside bliss at X2 Chiang Mai

With a prime location, this new elegant property accommodates 30 elegant guestrooms, a stunning rooftop pool and constantly evolving menus of world-class cuisine, especially created by a consulting Michelin-starred chef from France. 
Inspired by Chiang Mai’s iconic Wat Umong, the hotel is a seamless blend of old and new, traditional and contemporary offering guests a unique experience that salutes the past while being undeniably modern. 
“The property was built on the site of an old rice winery and we actually unearthed some antique remnants during construction,” says Ewan Taylor, general manager, X2 Chiang Mai Riverside Resort. 
“Great effort went into preserving the natural features of the estate, which included a dramatic row of 120-year-old tamarind trees, all of which remain standing.”
 The well-appointed rooms and suites range in floor area from 50 to 177 square meters and each room boasts subtle Thai decor touches and red brick walls.
The two Tamarind Suites overlook a green courtyard while the 20 Riverfront Suites feature balconies with river views. Six Grand Suites River View include a separate indoor seating area and the two Pool Suite River View open onto their own gardens with 10-metre private pools. 
All the accommodation is furnished with comfort spring beds, 42-inch 4K Ultra HD LED Smart TVs, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, coffee machines and electron charging stations. 
Those staying in a coveted Pool Suite River View also enjoy a complimentary mini bar, oversized bathtub for two, and a secluded garden seating area facing the river. 
Michelin-starred chef Nicolas Isnard serves as a consultant to the Oxygen Dining Room, which offers a selection of Thai and international dishes using seasonal ingredients.
“Thai cuisine offers some of the most thrilling flavours, textures and ingredients in the world,” says Isnard. “We’ve created a very special space where diners can discover a new level of Thai gastronomy blending time honoured Thai flavours with refined French preparation techniques – all in a setting that rivals some of the best restaurants in the world.” 
The resort celebrates its opening with the Charming Riverside Package starting at Bt9,900 to Bt11,400. The package includes a one-night stay in a riverfront suite with Champagne breakfast for two at Oxygen dining room, round trip transfer from airport to resort, a 60-minute Aromatherapy massage for two at X2 Spa and a Michelin Star Dining Experience set dinner menu.
