Vanilla Hill  

Perched about 300 meters above Chiang Mai in Hang Dong, this boutique resort is a true private hideaway. It’s a scenic 30-minute drive from Chiang Mai city center and Chiang Mai International Airport (about 27 km).

Set among Samoeng’s misty hills, the property features spacious cottages and suites named after Thai flowers. Rooms have private balconies or terraces with sweeping hill and lotus‑pond views. Interiors are air‑conditioned and well equipped — refrigerators, complimentary minibar items, flat‑screen TVs, private bathrooms with bathtubs or showers, bathrobes and daily housekeeping. Expect tranquil, nature‑inspired décor and plenty of space to unwind.

Enjoy onsite massages and a fitness center, plus terraces and gardens that overlook a large lotus pond. There’s a restaurant veranda with expansive views, a picnic area, laundry and concierge services, and free self‑parking. Adventurous guests can explore nearby waterfalls, hot springs and elephant experiences. Wake up to misty‑hill mornings and birdsong.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. The property also offers luggage storage, a safe‑deposit box and laptop‑compatible safes. Free self‑parking is available, and a roundtrip airport shuttle can be arranged for a surcharge. Note the front desk is staffed during limited hours.

Dine at the on‑site restaurant or enjoy room service during limited hours. Breakfasts focus on local Thai cuisine and are served daily (7:30–10:30, for a fee). The restaurant veranda overlooks the lotus pond, making meals feel like part of the view.
