The akyra Manor Chiang Mai, the all-suite designer hotel by AKARYN Hotel Group (AHG), is inviting guests to enjoy creative Thai and Italian fare at its popular onsite restaurant Italics, with a range of delicious dishes prepared exclusively using locally sourced ingredients.
Taking advantage of the bounty of locally sourced meat, vegetables and fruit available in the area, akyra Manor Chiang Mai’s sophisticated Italics restaurant creates and transforms fresh ingredients into re-imagined dishes. From organic cherry tomatoes bursting with sweetness to French cheeses made in Chiang Mai and 100 per cent Thai Arabica coffee handpicked in the nearby hills, Italics’ menu features a fusion of flavours.

Thai cuisine is famous around the world and we’re fortunate that Chiang Mai not only enjoys a strong culinary tradition, but also has a plethora of high-quality produce and artisanal food products available locally. Sourcing our ingredients from nearby producers helps support the local economy. It also provides our guests with unparalleled quality and the best possible taste.

Throughout 2017, the hotel will be working closely with the nearby Panghai School, where the akyra team recently helped paint the kitchens and also provided much-needed utensils. The hotel team also regularly joins fundraising efforts to create a better learning environment for the pupils and even helps plant vegetables in the school’s organic garden. This on-going support, with an emphasis on giving back, is a pillar of the hotel’s parent company, AKARYN Hotel Group, and therefore plays a key role in akyra Manor Chiang Mai’s corporate culture.
AKARYN Hotel Group’s Founder and Managing Director, Anchalika Kijkanakorn, who has been named a ‘Hero of Philanthropy‘ by Forbes Asia, says:
One major aspect that draws people to Chiang Mai, both to visit and to live, is its strong sense of community. At akyra Manor Chiang Mai we love being actively involved in that community, and we are pleased to give back in every way we can.
