Featuring a contemporary Lanna oriental architectural style inspired by traditional area homes, the stylish, atmospheric Puripunn Baby Grand Boutique Hotel is situated amid a centuries-old neighborhood with narrow streets. Rooms in the colonial-period house feature walls in deep colors of green or brown, lovely tiles, and dark wood floors. They are wrapped around a tree-filled courtyard, where birds sing their hearts out in the morning, and most feature a private balcony with French doors and day bed. Mine was a haven to return to after a day of touring. All are cooled by a choice of ceiling fan or air conditioning. Breakfast is served in the Punna Cafe on an open-air verandah and includes made-to-order omelettes, flaky French pastries, and electric-colored fresh fruit. One restriction: “We regret that durian products are not permitted on the hotel premises.” Anyone who has smelled a ripe durian knows why. A free tuk-tuk provides a ride into town.

I was interested enough to click to the hotel site. Grandeur in a boutique setting...it made me trip over to a monetary conversion site to see what a holiday would be. And your photo is certainly personable, welcoming; the personal touch was missing on the hotel site.
ReplyDeleteYes, the pictures at the website don't give a flavor of the lovely, intimate rooms. I'd love to go back.
