The culturally rich hotspot Chiang Mai, which is also a popular base for trekking in northern Thailand has long been a big draw for travelers, and now there's yet another reason to visit with the opening of Sireeampan Boutique Resort & Spa.

This exclusive resort, which opened at the end of January, incorporates the intricate design of 18th-century Thai royal manors with modern luxury, featuring no more than 11 rooms; all surrounded by the resort's lush garden.

On property also features Sagomporn restaurant, helmed by South African chef Scott Flaxman—private chef to a number of celebrities—as well as a piano lounge, wine cellar and state-of-the-art fitness center.

The resort is offering special opening rates of THB 10,000 ($386) per night.
