Journey into the Heart of Northern Thailand

Little Shelter

Greetings from the heart of Asia! We're thrilled to present our journey through Thailand, where we unveil the secret havens of Secret Retreats. Let's embark on a voyage together through the enchanting destinations of the North of the enchanting Kingdom of Thailand.

Little Shelter, Chiang Mai

Nestled in the verdant landscapes of Chiang Mai, Little Shelter is a tranquil haven where modern luxury meets traditional Thai charm. Opened in 2019, this 14-room riverside Chiang Mai boutique hotel was designed and built by the multi-award-winning architects, Department of Architecture Co. Ltd. Known for their cutting edge yet respectful approach to design, their architectural statements are as wonderful to look at as they are to live within – an often all too rare combination where exciting architecture is concerned – and this philosophy is perfectly exemplified in the Little Shelter Hotel. Traditional design motifs of this ancient city can be seen in the textured tile-like wall finishes that echo the wooden shingles that have adorned traditional Chiang Mai homes for centuries and have been seamlessly brought into the 21st century in the clean and bright contemporary design of Little Shelter.

Athita The Hidden Court, Chiang Rai

Athita The Hidden Court

Athita The Hidden Court is an intimate boutique hotel set in the ancient Lanna city of Chiang Saen. This northern Thai boutique hotel’s quiet yet convenient location is enhanced in being next to the 700year old Athi Ton Kaew Buddhist Temple and being just a short 70m walk to the Mekong River that runs through Chiang Saen. A stunning contemporary Thai design, the architecture is a pleasant mix of spaces in natural tones with the colour palette created by the use of locally source teak-wood and traditional handmade fired earth bricks - the same as used in the construction of the neighbouring ancient Buddhist temple - that altogether create a space that is very restful on the eyes and on the soul.
