The Ping Silhouette, and the latest edition to the growing number of exquisite Hotel Des Artists across the country, opened its doors to Chiang Mai in late June, welcoming us all to feast our eyes on its modern Chinoiserie style decor with dark hues of blue and grey, contrasted against stunning whites, greens and reds. Resting on the banks of the Ping River, its name reflects the silhouette that Doi Suthep and the city casts on the river every sunset. Each of the three room types offer different experiences completely, with French style standalone bathtubs in some and afternoon tea terraces in others. A large menu is available focusing on noodles, served with a modern Chinese style and modern Chinese taste. Try their shrimps served with a Chinese plum sauce or stir fried noodles with red chili paste and tobiko for a real taste adventure, or for breakfast, indulge on a fresh coffee and eggs benedict served with curry flavours. Rooms start at 2,800 in the low season, which includes breakfast for two persons.
