The Suan Bua Hotel Resort and Spa, Chiang Mai is located on Hangdong-Samerng Road, boasting unique traditional Lanna-style architecture, is spectacularly located on the borders of the Doi Suthep National Park in Chiang Mai. The Resort is set in 20 acres of extensively landscaped gardens deeply nestled in a lush green valley embraced by rolling hills. A scenic drive of 22 km leads up into the hills from Chiang Mai International Airport. The centuries old Chiang Mai Walled City and the Night Market are less than 25 km away and Chiang Mai's exciting new Night Safari Park is only half that distance. Transportation to these destinations are available at Suan Bua. The 176 guest rooms offered at Suan Bua are not crowded into one or two high-rises, but spaced out into several buildings in lush green settings.
Accommodation and facilities:
The hotel has a very nice surrounding landscape and garden. That was impressive. However, the rooms are badly maintained and not equipped. Forget about kettle, tea cups, hair dryers, teaspoons, writing material, wifi, etc. The condition of the water supplied is really bad and very rusty. There is only 1 restaurant in the hotel and food is not fantastic. In fact, we really dislike the food. As we stayed for 10 days, it was annoying at times as the place is rather remote (without any shops nearby), and we find difficulty even getting some basic supplies or food. You can t find taxi at this area. Only arranged transport (hotel or your own). Distance to town is approx 35mins, costs about 500 baht 1-way. Next time, will stay in town and visit the mountains instead.
Reservation service:

Accommodation and facilities:
We liked the hotel. Unfortunately that rooms were not heated, as it was quite cold during the evenings and nights!! The facilities are a bit outdated. the pool is not heated and as the hotel is quite high up in the mountains the water was ice cold in the December. So not that much to do in the resort so we made lots of day trips to all nearby attractions. Rooms are however spacy and ideal with kids (as you have a seperate room/kitchen which parents can use at night when kids are sleeping.
Reservation service:
We requested for hotel pick up but that somehow was not arranged for! Otherwise the service is ok, but confirmation emails are a bit messy without clear overview of services paid for (for example the hotel tried to invoice us for the compulsory christmas dinner which was already paid to Sawadee. This was however solved quickly.
