Frommer's Review

The Plaza's two 12-story towers, completed in 1986, form a bland, modern Western hotel, but guest rooms are large, plush, and offer city and mountain views. The lobby is so spacious that the decorative furniture seems almost lost in acres of brilliantly polished granite, and recent renovations give it that extra-glitzy touch. The Plaza is also well located -- in town, but just far enough away, toward the Ping River, to be out of the congestion. It is very popular with group tours, but the place is so big you won't know they're there. The swimming pool is surrounded by Lanna-style pavilions, and their newly built spa area is a catacomb in deep umber tones, dim lights, and Thai decoration, where the gamut of affordable but high-quality health and beauty treatments is on offer.

Facilities:
Restaurant; lounge; outdoor pool; fitness center; spa w/massage and sauna; tour desk; car-rental desk; business center; limited room service; babysitting; same-day laundry service/dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
