North Hill City Resort, opening this month, is a new five-star luxury resort incorporating a modern contemporary design that embraces the destination of Chiang Mai. A five star resort, the design highlights the beauty of the resort’s idyllic and serene location while still close to tourist destinations, and captures outstanding views of Doi Suthep.

“We have put in a lot of thought into designing North Hill City Resort, and we are pleased to see it finally coming to life as we approach opening this month,” said Kanlapat Trakarnkoolpunt, managing director of North Hill City Resort. “We’re thrilled to welcome guests to experience the finished product, and we’re confident that they will enjoy the calming and fresh design with first-class materials and elements, ultimately focusing on the stunning Doi Suthep.”

Only 20 minutes from the hustle and bustle of the city area, the boutique 42-room property’s primary design element is the surrounding green space and nature. Designed by landscape and architecture firm, RAFA, the resort maximizes outdoor spaces with an expansive outdoor amphitheater alongside a swimming pool and deck. In addition to panoramic views of Doi Suthep, this outdoor area serves as a venue for functions, meetings, weddings and also features a BBQ area.
