Excellent hotel with very friendly and accommodating staff. I was upgraded to executive room on the 17 floor and was met with a goodie bag upon arrival and fruit delivered to my room. The room was spacious, and so was the bathroom. Bed was VERY comfortable and I slept very well. It was also quiet, so no disturbances from traffic or other noise. Breakfast was okey, with variety of both Asian and Western food. It is walking distance from the Night Market (10 min).

Good staff nice location. The welcome pack of food and drinks was a nice touch. The hotel is a bit dated though, and air conditioning is not able to be controlled in the room. It’s either on or off. Made it very cold at night. A basic hotel but it suited our needs.

I have been staying at this hotel whenever I am in Chiang Mai. Of course Shangri-La Chiang Mai is the hotel very popular with tourists. It is good because of all the facility they provided and a 5 star hotel in the heart of Chiang Mai. If you want to relax and enjoy the facilities Shangri La is the upmarket hotel. However if you are on a shopping spree & relax tour. The Empress Chiang Mai provides all you need for value and its location & comfort. Chiang Mai & Chiang Rai is my preferred destination for Northern Thailand away from bustling Bangkok
