Howie's Homestay Included in Hotel Lust’s List of World's 100 Most Beautiful Hotels 2016

Howie's HomeStay features in Architectural Digest and is constantly being honored by Conde Nast Traveler. We are undoubtedly one of the best hotels in Chiang Mai. Howie’s Homestay can add yet another feather in its cap. This lovely private spa resort has made it to Hotel Lust’s list of the 100 most beautiful hotels in the world.

It’s easy to see why Howie’s Homestay is so highly acclaimed. First of all, it’s beautiful. Set in beautifully landscaped tropical gardens, this private resort villa is in the same area as the Four Seasons Chiang Mai. Located right in the Mae Rim valley on the foothills of the Himalayas, just 20 minutes from the airport and even closer to the city centre. In the property there is a lovely dining pavilion and a separate living room pavilion.  The Family Suite pavilion with 3 bedrooms and a dining room is for guests. The legendary Teak Pavilion is a luxury hotel suite. Guests likewise enjoy a stunning infinity pool all to themselves, plus an all-inclusive (all meals included) arrangement that makes a holiday truly stress-free.

Hotel Lust’s List, Time Magazine & Architectural Digest

Renowned architect Bill Bensley designed Howie's HomeStay. He also designed the Intercontinental Danang in Vietnam as well as the St. Regis Bali. He is responsible for a number of Four Seasons resorts including the one in Hualalai, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Koh Samui. The Siam Bangkok Hotel is one of his masterpieces. He therefore recognized as one of the top 100 designers in the world. Time Magazine and Architectural Digest have called him ‘the greatest spa designer in Asia.’

The beauty of Howie’s Homestay also lies in its exclusivity. The resort allows only one group or family in residence at any one time. Staying here—where you are the ONLY guest—means enjoying complete privacy in a picturesque 5-star luxury hotel. The staff are at your beck and call, and everything moves at your own pace and to your own schedule. We also offer tour assistance so you can see Chiang Mai in luxury. What's more we have all the local knowledge to ensure the best experiences during your stay with us.
