“By blending the region's tantalizing cuisine, the handiwork of local artisans, and northern Thai history along with the signature traits of an iconic brand like InterContinental we aim to create a guest experience that promotes cultural and artistic traditions of the Lanna people.
It is also a chance to help elevate Chiang Mai's profile as one of Asia's leading tourist destinations following its designation as a member of UNESCO Crafts and Folk-Art Creative Cities Network in 2017.
