Anantara Hotels & Resorts, a leading name in contemporary travel experiences, is thrilled to announce the recognition of four of its distinguished properties in the esteemed Michelin Guide Thailand. This global ranking system highlights the world’s premier hotels and resorts, signifying the pinnacle of hospitality excellence. The Michelin Key awards, analogous to the celebrated Michelin Stars awarded to restaurants, are bestowed upon establishments that meet rigorous standards set by professional inspectors.
The Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort has achieved the prestigious Michelin Two Key distinction, placing it among only 19 hotels nationwide to receive this honor. Nestled at the convergence of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar in the renowned Golden Triangle, this resort is dubbed “an extraordinary getaway.” Spanning 160 acres of lush landscapes, including bamboo groves, rice fields, and native gardens, the resort boasts Asia’s leading elephant camp and sanctuary, offering a truly unique and memorable experience for visitors.
Adding to the brand’s accolades, Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel, Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort, and Anantara Hua Hin Resort each received the Michelin One Key distinction. These awards further solidify Anantara’s position as the top-recognized luxury hotel brand in this edition of the Michelin Guide Thailand.
Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel, a renowned destination in the heart of Bangkok, is celebrated for its luxurious, colonial-inspired architecture and design featuring traditional Thai elements and lush private gardens. The hotel offers a graceful oasis of tranquility, a welcome respite from the city’s bustling energy.
On the island of Koh Samui, Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort is recognized for its ability to harmonize serene isolation with easy access to the vibrant atmosphere of the island. The resort’s sophisticated residential ambiance, rather than a rustic aesthetic, reflects Anantara’s expertise in creating refined and chic beach retreats.
Anantara Hua Hin Resort, the pioneering establishment of the Anantara brand, embodies elegance in Hua Hin’s hospitality scene. Designed to mirror a traditional Thai village, this serene and modern classic resort is situated directly on the beachfront. It has garnered numerous accolades over the years, setting a benchmark for excellence that has influenced the creation of many other Anantara properties worldwide.
