Melia Chiang Mai has landed a coveted spot in well-respected Australian magazine Holidays with Kids Readers' Choice Awards, lauded as among "Thailand's Best Family Resorts" for a third consecutive year.
Melia Chiang Mai rounded out the list of 12 Thailand hotels and resorts and was the only property in Chiang Mai, in Thailand's mountainous north, to make the cut.
Nominations for the Holidays with Kids 2025 Best Family Resorts Awards were open for 12 months and came from the magazine's vast readership of more than 600,000 parents.
"This year's winners don't just meet expectations, they raise them. From immersive kids' clubs that spark genuine excitement and imaginative activities to standout facilities and family-focused dining, these resorts are setting new standards for family holidays," the publication said.
Holidays with Kids spotlighted Melia Chiang Mai as "a stylish, family-friendly hotel in the heart of Chiang Mai, Thailand".
"Guests can unwind at YHI Spa, which offers massages, scrubs, wraps and facials, or maintain their fitness routine at the fully equipped gym," the magazine said. "The property features five bars and dining venues, serving a variety of culinary delights, and also highlights the Melia Farm 360 program, which connects guests with the resort's eco-farming initiatives that help supply fresh produce to its restaurants. The rooftop bar offers sweeping views of the surrounding city and mountains, while the outdoor pool provides a refreshing retreat after a day of sightseeing. Children can enjoy the well-equipped kids' club, giving parents a chance to relax or enjoy a romantic evening, while knowing their little ones are cared for and entertained."
Melia Chiang Mai's general manager Marc Selinger said he and his team were thrilled that the hotel had been named among Thailand's leading family properties in the awards for the third year in a row.
"We offer an array of experiences for the whole family, from our Family Rooms with puzzles, board games, a children's tent and toys, to our expansive kids and teens club with featuring activities like Thai boxing, umbrella painting, and arts and craft with recycled materials," he said. "Families also love our vast outdoor swimming pool which includes a shallow area for the little ones with two water slides, a rain curtain, water fountains and a giant tipping bucket. Plus our hotel is a terrific gateway to Chiang Mai's leading attractions including the iconic Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep, the Chiang Mai Night Safari and the quirky Elephant Poo Poo Paper Park."
