“The Empress strikes me as a solid choice in Chiang Mai; it's near enough to the night market for convenience, but set back enough for quiet evenings. I especially appreciate the sizable pool and the traditional Thai décor, a welcome alternative to generic hotel chains; the extensive meeting facilities also make it a strong contender for business travelers.”
