An attempt was made on the 4th November 2013 by the owning company of the The Chedi Chiang Mai to terminate GHM’s management of the hotel and bring in a new operator to manage the property.
Regrettably, the manner in which it was carried out was wrongful and violated key conditions and criteria from the existing management agreement. Given this unfortunate development, GHM has had no choice but to initiate legal actions against both the owning company as well as the new management company to address the many areas of violations and with it, to seek reinstatement of management and obtain full compensation.
GHM will also make every effort to ensure that its loyal guest and customers will not be inconvenienced with the intrusion and will ensure that the renowned GHM experience (one that has made The Chedi Chiang Mai one of the most recognised luxury names in Chiang Mai since 2006) remains unmarred.
Should there be any queries relating to reservations at the hotel, kindly contact the hotel directly. However, should you wish to explore other GHM hotels, kindly visit our website at www.GHMhotels.com.
