I have been staying at this hotel whenever I am in Chiang Mai. Of course Shangri-La Chiang Mai is the hotel very popular with tourists. It is good because of all the facility they provided and a 5 star hotel in the heart of Chiang Mai. If you want to relax and enjoy the facilities Shangri La is the upmarket hotel. However if you are on a shopping spree & relax tour. The Empress Chiang Mai provides all you need for value and its location & comfort. Chiang Mai & Chiang Rai is my preferred destination for Northern Thailand away from bustling Bangkok

Yes it was a very nice stay. The hospitality lady named Ayoy was so friendly and kind when I had to changed to a better room. I was traveling alone so she took good care of me! She told me about where to exchange money and made sure I got to the airport with special driver from the hotel. That felt really special and personalized. Thanks for a wonderful hospitality job and it was perfect vacation!!
