What is your favourite hotel in the world?
pernille lind
Raya Heritage, in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
The hotel group have a few boutique hotels and resorts spread around Thailand. With this particular destination, they have collaborated with local craft people around the region, who have made the hotel staff uniforms, furniture, lighting, table ware, and other ornamental objects. Many are made using traditional techniques and locally sourced materials. When we were there we also visited a coffee plantation up in the nearby mountains, which is run by the hotelier and supplies the coffee to their hotels. The guest rooms are set within an immaculately maintained tropical garden, just on the river. Every morning you will wake up to sounds of jungle wildlife, and the connection with nature all around the hotel grounds, is so relaxing and peaceful. In another life I would like to live there! and in this one, I’ll go back very soon again!
