Architectural Marvels: Exploring Bill Bensley's Hotels in Thailand
Whether you’re an aspiring architect or admire well-designed structures, staying with us here at Howie’s Homestay will be a treat for your senses. We are proud to be one of the Bill Bensley hotels in Thailand, tucked in lush Mae Rim Valley in the northern part of the country. We worked closely with Bill Bensley to design our private Chiang Mai villa with a pool, resulting in a resort like no other in the country!
Who is Bill Bensley?
In the world of architecture, Bill Bensley is a well-known figure dubbed the ‘King of Exotic Resorts.’ The acclaimed architect has been picked by Architectural Digest among its Top 100 Architects in the world for 4 consecutive years for his impactful work. We invited him to collaborate on our luxury Chiang Mai retreat because we were impressed by his innovative approach to villa resort design. The result? Howie’s Homestay is a beautiful holiday home that can rival the best Bill Bensley hotels in Thailand.
This beautiful property, with its thoughtfully designed home and garden, quickly became a favorite subject of lifestyle and architectural magazines. We are proud to say that our dream has been realized. Howie’s Homestay is now a premier Bill Bensley hotel in Thailand, offering a private and all-inclusive escape.
The best place to stay in Chiang Mai
Are you looking for exclusive accommodation for your family or friends in Chiang Mai? You won’t regret staying with us.
Our Chiang Mai luxury villa has seven private golden teak pavilions with tall ceilings. Aside from Bill Bensley, we also worked with hundreds of craftspeople to complete this opulent retreat. In each room, you will find modern technology like cutting-edge communication and entertainment systems. We also used Jim Thompson silks and custom-crafted bronze details throughout our property.
At Howie’s Homestay, you can unwind in our sprawling swimming pool and indulge in authentic Thai cuisine prepared and cooked by Jerri. Of course, you can stroll in our gardens and admire Bill Bensley’s masterpiece.
What’s more, Howie’s Homestay is the perfect base for responsible elephant excursions, boutique shopping trips, and guided cultural tours to the Night Bazaar and the Old Town. After a day of activities, you have a comfortable home to return to.
A stand-out beauty
Like other Bill Bensley hotels in Thailand, Howie’s Homestay is a one-of-a-kind sanctuary offering a refined and relaxed atmosphere. It’s designed to complement the natural rustic beauty of Northern Thailand, so it blends perfectly with the natural environment. By providing modern and indulgent comforts, we created a bespoke oasis — a perfect setting for memorable holidays in Chiang Mai.
No other Chiang Mai boutique resort can match the beauty and exclusivity of Howie’s Homestay. Our romantic boutique resort has unique features that make it stand out from other Bill Bensley hotels in Thailand. For example, we designed independent pavilions that honor Lanna Thai traditions with their meticulously hand-carved details. Take a closer look, and you will find carefully curated art pieces, hand-crafted teak furnishings, and high-quality linens that bring distinctive character and warmth to each room.
Shaded pathways and lush greenery link our Teak and Family Pavilions, but each villa still affords the utmost exclusivity that provides you and your group more privacy. As you venture out of your private villa, you will find your way to the infinity-edge saltwater swimming pool, the centerpiece of Howie’s Homestay. Beside it is our dining area and communal living room where you’re welcome to lounge and enjoy Jerri’s home-cooked meals.
