Chiang Mai’s Chinese history is long and lustrous and is honoured, as well as tweaked, by the innovative Mo Rooms, previously Mo Hotels. Mo Rooms draws on the twelve Chinese zodiac signs, using them to conceptualise their rooms, each one having been designed by one of twelve famous artists. This 45 million baht plus investment on 1.5 rai land is a sight to see. The owner of the hotel wanted to create a non-business hotel that would be completely unique. Anyone interested in architecture, design and especially conceptual design, should make a point of stopping by, or better yet, checking in. Many customers stay only one night just for the experience, and of course to try a different room on each visit. In the last two years Mo Rooms has gone through many changes. The bar has moved to the first floor in front of the hotel and the menu has changed and includes Thai and international dishes.
