We recently completed another long stay at Meliá Chiang Mai (13 nights, following a 9-night stay in June 2025), and once again, the staff are what make this hotel truly special.
A heartfelt thank you to the housekeeping team and room attendants, especially Ms. Jubjang, Ms. Jay, and Ms. Ya, for the beautiful birthday decorations, towel creations, and thoughtful details. It made our room feel incredibly special and created memories we will always remember. Their care and attention throughout our stay were outstanding. Thank you also to Ms. Fay from Guest Services, who was part of the team effort helping coordinate the celebration.
North, the concierge, was exceptional — always greeting us warmly, asking about our day, and offering helpful suggestions. Lalita, the Guest Services Manager, was incredibly responsive and played an important role in helping bring the birthday celebration to life on short notice. Lydia in the restaurant was also wonderful — always kind, friendly, and welcoming. Even when we were just passing through, she made a point of saying hello with a warm smile. There were also several other front desk, restaurant, and concierge team members whose names I may be forgetting, but their professionalism and kindness did not go unnoticed.
One area of disappointment was the room assignment. We were placed in the lower-rise tower on the sixth floor, which has limited views, compared to the exceptional river and mountain views in the main tower. As returning guests staying for an extended period, this was disappointing. There was also no welcome fruit tray upon arrival, which we had received during our previous stay.
We also had difficulty reaching room service by phone on one occasion, and the service at the Sky Lounge was unfortunately not as attentive as what we experienced elsewhere in the hotel.
Despite these points, Meliá Chiang Mai remains a beautiful hotel with truly exceptional staff. It is their warmth, professionalism, and genuine care that make the experience so memorable, and we are grateful for our stay and would gladly return again.
