Hotel Yayee

Owned by one of Thailand’s most well-known actors, Hotel Yayee exudes a unique ambience all its own with one part rustic charm, one part 5 star comfort and a whole lot of character. Meaning ’darling’ in Thai, the hotel features two types of airy rooms, small and big, filled with unique touches and curated décor from around the world to create a homey, yet eclectic, feel. While the smaller rooms are designed to create a cosy spot for solo travellers or couples, the larger rooms take things to the next level complete with a king bed, balcony and breakfast nook. Use this as your base to explore Chiang Mai, a place of exquisite culture and style itself. At the property’s downstairs restaurant, Hungry Heart Café, enjoy expertly prepared Northern Thai and Western staples in a welcoming atmosphere before heading up to the enchanting rooftop bar for panoramic views of Doi Suthep and the Nimmanhaemin neighbourhood. With an intimate, garden-like feel the bar features craft cocktails created by renowned Bangkok mixologist using local northern ingredients. After a day of traipsing around Chiang Mai, it’s the perfect spot for a sun downer as twilight takes over before retreating to your room.
