The Sheraton Chiang Mai, which was Chiang Mai’s first 5 star city hotel has now been re-branded as Holiday Inn Chiang Mai from the 1st April 2007.

The 25 storey hotel, operated by the InterContinental Hotels Group, boasts 526 spacious 45 square metre rooms and is Chiang Mai’s tallest building. It is located on the Ping riverside, just 5 minutes drive from the city centre. Whilst main tourist attractions are not within walking distance, the views from the hotel more than make up for this. It’s quiet location is well linked by local transportation options 24 hours a day.

Chiang Mai’s famous shopping centre, the night bazaar, is just 5 minutes drive away and the hotel is just 10 minutes from Chiang Mai International Airport.

Kasem Shaikh of Chiangmai Riverside Plaza Hotel Co., Ltd which owns the hotel said: “With the strength of a respected industry leader like InterContinental Hotels Group and the appeal of a world-renowned brand like Holiday Inn, we are confident that the rebranded hotel will be a great success.”

Jan Smits, chief operating officer of Southern Asia and Korea for InterContinental Hotels Group, said: “There is a strong and growing demand for branded mid-scale hotel accommodation in Chiang Mai, a lively and prosperous city that is widely regarded as a gateway into Northern Thailand and the Mekong region. Right in the heart of the action is Holiday Inn Chiang Mai, which will undoubtedly appeal to travellers to this region.”

Holiday Inn Hotels & Resorts are well known around the world and are winners of Business Traveller Asia Pacific’s Best Mid-Market Hotel Brand in Asia Pacific for six consecutive years.

Holiday Inn Chiang Mai will be the sixth Holiday Inn hotel in Thailand.
