A Garden in the Clouds. French Discipline. Lanna Soul.
Chiang Mai is Asia’s best-kept culinary secret—a high-altitude terroir where mountain mist meets a fertile, cool-climate ecosystem. It is here, in the "Garden in the Clouds" specifically cultivated for our vision, that Chef Olivier Elzer found the inspiration for Le Manoir Botanica. We do not import what the Thai soil can provide; we refine it through the lens of French haute cuisine.
Le Bistro
Ingredient-Led Bistro Dining
Smart casual indoor and outdoor dining unfolds across open-air terraces, hidden garden courtyards, and forest-facing decks that step down into the estate's natural typography, offering an unfiltered connection to the mountain air and evening birdsong.
Le Manoir BOTANICA DINING ROOM
The Tasting Journey
Indoor dining within the restored Lanna manor house feels intimate, warm, and respectful of heritage bones. Rich materials, hand-finished detailing, and architectural lighting frame verdant gardens through floor-to-ceiling openings, ensuring nature remains an active participant throughout the journey.
La Pâtisserie
Pastry Craft & Boutique
An integrated daytime touchpoint seamlessly blends luxury pastry craft with artisanal retail goods. This curated loop allows guest journeys to interface smoothly with fine arts and tactile estate memories at any point during the sunlight hours.
La Forestière
Transitions & Aperitifs
Suspended over the manor's ravine, La Forestière is a space nestled within the forest, blending architecture and wilderness. Guests experience Mae Rim's sounds and climate as central to the event—shifting into pre-evening rituals or late-night digestifs.
L'Étage
The Private Dining Suites
The private dining suites offer an exclusive, secure environment for high-profile gatherings, intimate celebrations, and customised tasting menus. Designed with residential luxury and discretion, the space balances absolute privacy with panoramic views over the manor's gardens.
LE BAR ET LA CAVE
Nocturnes & Epilogues
A refined space between gardens and indoor salons, the lounge uses restrained raw stone and aged timber. Its curated program highlights artisanal aperitifs, botanical cocktails, and seasonal infusions celebrating local highland ingredients, with easy terrace access.
