In a move to strengthen Chiang Mai’s position as a top destination for meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (M.I.C.E.), Chiang Mai Marriott Hotel has unveiled its new Plaii Hybrid Meetings & Entertainment Complex. This innovative space is designed to meet the rising demand for sophisticated event infrastructure, blending modern technology and flexible venues to create a dynamic environment for both business and social events.
Plaii Ballroom: A Revolutionary Event Space
The centerpiece of the Plaii Complex is the Plaii Ballroom, which introduces a groundbreaking feature: Thailand’s first 360-degree immersive LED ballroom. This cutting-edge venue is equipped with an 84-meter wraparound LED screen and a 6.24-meter screen height, offering an unparalleled immersive experience for any type of event. With a pillarless, 400-square-meter floor plan, the ballroom can be configured in a variety of ways to host everything from corporate meetings to weddings.
The Plaii Ballroom is perfect for product launches, corporate seminars, networking events, and even social gatherings. The immersive LED technology provides a customizable environment, allowing event planners to adapt the setting to suit their needs. Whether hosting an international conference or an elegant reception, this venue offers a captivating backdrop that enhances the guest experience.
A Versatile Complex for All Types of Events
The Plaii Complex goes beyond the ballroom, offering a range of flexible spaces to suit any event requirement. With 11 modern meeting rooms and executive breakout suites, the complex is designed to accommodate everything from intimate team discussions to larger corporate gatherings. These rooms come equipped with state-of-the-art technology, ensuring smooth presentations and interactive sessions.
For networking and pre-event socializing, the Mingle Space is a naturally lit area that fosters collaboration and informal interaction. This open, welcoming environment is perfect for guests to gather before transitioning into the main event. Additionally, the complex’s private karaoke rooms, bar, golf simulator rooms, and café-bar offer a mix of leisure and entertainment, making it an ideal venue for blending business with relaxation.
Enhancing Chiang Mai’s MICE Landscape
The Plaii Complex is a game-changer for Chiang Mai, positioning the city as an even more attractive destination for the growing M.I.C.E. industry. The new facility is expected to increase the city’s appeal to international markets, including South Korea, Taiwan, and Greater China, all of which are important contributors to Thailand’s business tourism sector.
By adding this state-of-the-art complex, Chiang Mai Marriott Hotel is helping to raise the city’s profile on the global MICE map, offering modern event spaces that cater to the specific needs of international businesses. The complex also supports the efforts of the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB), which has been promoting Chiang Mai as a hub for both business tourism and cultural experiences.
The hotel now boasts 22 meeting spaces and over 2,800 square meters of event facilities, giving it the capacity to host large-scale conferences, hybrid meetings, and high-profile social events. This expansion not only allows Chiang Mai Marriott to cater to larger gatherings but also to accommodate the increasingly popular hybrid meetings that combine in-person events with digital participation.
A Comprehensive Experience for Guests
Chiang Mai Marriott Hotel isn’t just about meetings and events; it offers a full range of amenities to ensure guests have a memorable stay. The hotel features 383 rooms and suites, offering luxurious accommodations for both business and leisure travelers. Dining options include an Italian restaurant recognized by the Michelin Guide, a Chinese restaurant, and all-day dining that showcases the flavors of Northern Thailand.
For those looking to unwind, the hotel provides a fitness center, infinity pool, and family-friendly areas. Guests can also enjoy the executive lounge, which provides a quiet, refined space for business travelers to relax and network.
Transforming Chiang Mai’s Business Tourism Potential
The opening of the Plaii Hybrid Meetings & Entertainment Complex marks a key milestone in Chiang Mai Marriott’s vision to be a leader in business tourism. With its unique combination of immersive technology, flexible event spaces, and leisure amenities, the Plaii Complex sets a new standard for venues in the region, positioning Chiang Mai as a must-visit destination for international conferences, exhibitions, and business meetings.
As demand for immersive and hybrid event experiences grows, Chiang Mai Marriott Hotel’s new complex is poised to play a crucial role in shaping the future of business tourism in the city. With the addition of the Plaii Complex, Chiang Mai’s MICE sector is set to reach new heights, attracting global businesses and contributing to the city’s economic and tourism growth.
