The verdict
Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.
Chiang Mai Marriott Hotel is an upscale property positioned steps from the bustling Night Bazaar and a short walk from the Old City. The hotel excels with spacious rooms, mountain-view suites, and unusually large bathrooms with rain showers and soaking tubs. Dining and lounge amenities are generally well-received, though breakfast service occasionally experiences cold orders or delays. Outside of room rates, poolside drinks and breakfast for guests without lounge access can feel steep. 1615717

- Guests frequently mention the backdrop of Doi Suthep Mountain and city views from bedroom windows and the infinity edge pool. 161815
The catch
- While many guests praise the dining quality across the lounge and restaurants, some found the lounge breakfast disappointing with heavy, stale bread and croissants. 17

Score breakdown
How the 92/100 is built, category by category — each one with the strongest thing travelers actually said, and the source it came from.
Bathroom
94- “Then for probably the highlight of the room, the bathroom. I think this is probably the largest bathroom I have ever had in a hotel, with a large rain-shower (could easily fit 10 people in there) a full size bathtub/jacuzzi, double vanities and a large walk-in closet.” 15
- “Even more spacious was the open-concept bathroom attached to the bedroom, which included a jacuzzi tub and double vanity.” 16
Location
96- “To top it off, the hotel really couldn't be in a better location. It's mere steps from the Night Bazaar and about half a mile from the Old City, which allowed us to see them both pretty well even though we weren't in Chiang Mai for very long.” 7
- “The location can't be beat either; it is right next to the night bazaar.” 17

Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
- “The food is alot better than some of the lounges i have been to...” 3
- “It is open from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM every day. We didn't have a sit-down meal here during our stay, but we did enjoy room service which included a pizza ordered from Favola. It was both tasty and affordable.” 16
- “Breakfast at the restaurant downstairs is more substantial, although the lounge offering is not bad at all.” 17
- “Unless you're starving, however, you're probably better off just grabbing a pastry from the bar area. I've had my share of croissants, and these rival the ones from any bakery in France.” 7
- “Even during the day outside of the cocktail hour, I found there was a decent selection of snacks, mini sandwiches, and the like. Very convenient when you're a little peckish in between meals but don't want to trek out into the Thai heat.” 16
- “The breakfast wasn't flawless. Some items didn't taste 100% fresh. But there was so much on offer that anyone could find a great arrangement of food to satisfy their taste buds.” 16
- “There were fresh hors d'oeuvres available during cocktail hour. The snacks and desserts were plentiful, and one could easily make a full meal out of the offerings. There was even a noodle bar.” 16
- “Breakfast and lounge/platinum happy hour was really nice too.” 3
- “Lounge was wonderful, although the breakfast was quite dissapointing. Heavy stale bread/croisants and items of a European Flair, it makes sense, as most of the Upper Management seems to be of European background.” 17
- “The food at the club lounge is not local, but it was very good.” 17
- “We walked to the river and down a commercial street parallel to the night market street. We did not have lounge access so had breakfast every morning at McDonald's across the street. It was pretty expensive at the hotel's restaurant.” 17
- “Due to the excessive amount of beers my friend insisted on ordering and an early flight the next morning there were no photos taken of the breakfast, but it was good, standard Marriott spread with fresh fruits, omelette station, hot and cold dishes, and both international and local cuisine, as well as a good pastry selection and fresh juices and coffee.” 15
- “And the evening coctail food menu was good, but I seem to remember that there were no sweets with the evening food selection.” 17
- “Drinks at the Pool House are quite pricey even compared to the hotel room bar. For example, a bottle of Chiang beer is 200 THB from the Pool House, but a can of Chiang beer is 60 THB from the in-room bar.” 16
- “The room was also nicely decorated with elephant statues and pictures, a nice touch.” 15
- “The Executive Suite was massive, modern, and open-concept. Upon entry, you could immediately see the main room area with large windows.” 16
- “The view from the bedroom window was also really nice.” 15
- “Considering the hotel had just opened, they were great. Platinum benefits are super. Room was perfect.” 17
- “I am currently a Marriott Bonvoy Ambassador member, so I was expecting an upgrade of my room, but was still pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to an execute suite, as those upgrades does not always happen.” 15
- “The Executive Suite was gorgeous and very spacious, with separate living and sleeping areas (with large flat-screen TVs in each) and a bathroom with double sinks and comfortable robes.” 7
- “The check-in agent showed me up to my room. A lovely large and very comfortable corner suite.” 17
- “The food at the club lounge is not local, but it was very good. We were upgraded to a junior suite, which is beautiful.” 17
- “The bedroom was also slightly different, a normal king size bed, but instead of a chair or two there were a large sofa in front of the window, and this was even more comfortable than the one in the living room.” 15
- “In the living room there was also like a small bar counter with an espresso machine, a minibar that was very reasonable prices (softdrinks 25 bath, beers 60-90) and several bottles of complimentary water.” 15
- “The hotel was great. The service great, as expected.” 17
- “The service here was notably not as good as at Ping's. One of our egg benedict orders was seemingly forgotten and then arrived cold after we inquired about it.” 16
- “The staff and service are improving greatly and this hotel provides a great Platinum experience.” 17
- “Every aspect of service was impeccable and at the high standard we had come to expect of luxury hotels in Thailand.” 16
- “Ditto on a beautiful property and an eager, friendly staff providing a warm welcome.” 17
- “The staff had also left a nice greeting for me written on the mirror in the bathroom 🙂” 15
- “Had some problems with the Starwood points but they posted. Staff seemed not to know what to do about points.” 17
- “Although the rooms and public spaces were beautiful, what really stood out to me about Le Meridien Chiang Mai was the service. Even by the standards of this famously friendly country, the people working here went above and beyond to make sure we had a terrific stay.” 7
- “The reception and the Platinum benefits were great. Staff was friendly and for the most part seemed genuine.” 17
- “The Lounge staff had great suggestions for local sights and activities and were eager to please and quite friendly.” 17
- “The customer service was superb--they remembered my drink and meal preference each time and even had set out the ingredients for my mojito by the second visit.” 17
- “Checking in went well. Our room was ready for us early at 12:00 PM. Hotel staff took our bags and escorted us to the check-in desk.” 16
- “Shoutout to Hannah and her team for the excellent service and follow-up.” 3
- “Yes! I agree. So well maintained and gorgeous! Lovely staff as well.” 3
- “Check-in was quick and easy, and I was at my room within a couple of minutes of arriving at the hotel.” 15
- “They responded with extravagance, not just providing us with a delicious spread of macaroons, a small cake, fruits, and rice crackers, but also placing H.B.D decorations on the window. This was a really nice touch of extra service.” 16
- “To top it off, the hotel really couldn't be in a better location. It's mere steps from the Night Bazaar and about half a mile from the Old City, which allowed us to see them both pretty well even though we weren't in Chiang Mai for very long.” 7
- “I liked the location. We walked to the river and down a commercial street parallel to the night market street.” 17
- “The location is good - just on the night market.” 17
- “The location can't be beat either; it is right next to the night bazaar.” 17
- “Even more spacious was the open-concept bathroom attached to the bedroom, which included a jacuzzi tub and double vanity.” 16
- “Then for probably the highlight of the room, the bathroom. I think this is probably the largest bathroom I have ever had in a hotel, with a large rain-shower (could easily fit 10 people in there) a full size bathtub/jacuzzi, double vanities and a large walk-in closet.” 15
- “The shower room had ample space with a waterfall-style shower head, and a nice sized ledge.” 16
- “The view looking towards the Old City is great. My apartment is just beyond the one white taller building in the middle right of the picture.” 17
