Externally, the Imperial is an 80s concrete block. In fact it is younger, but much in need of refurbishing. The site is lovely, with extensive grounds, mature trees and a stream in the valley below the hotel. Surrounds are mountainous and very beautiful. One could only wish the somewhat tired hotel bedrooms matched the surroundings! Swimming pool and deck was... More

Mae Hong Song is only a small town so this would be one of the biggest & best hotels in town, but in a large city this would not be the case. The hotel is showing its age, with tired rooms but having said that it is a comfortable hotel set in lovely gardens full of teak trees with a... More

We were surprised at how nice this hotel actually was as we weren't expecting much at all. It is in a really pretty setting with lovely big trees all around and a small river flowing through the grounds. The pool and outside deck was a very pleasant relief from the heat. We stayed in the junior suite on the ground... More

This is our second visit to Mae Hong Son and the second time we have stayed at the IMperial Tara. It is a very good hotel. It offers very good value for money. The hotel provides a shuttle bus into town and back and also can organise trips in the local area. More

Mae Hong Son is not a downtown, big city location, so our comments should be read in the context of its remoteness.

Older hotel with dated furnishings but still clean and comfortable with teak everywhere. Enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to others More

The room was pretty neat and the environment is very nice as well. Under my balcony is a swimming pool and outside are brook and wood and everywhere is green. Having breakfast... More

After the tiring/torturous drive from Chiang Mai to Mae Hong Son, we were exhausted. After driving thru town and missing any other accomodation we spied the Imprerial Tara, a very favourable rate and a quick look at the rooms and we were in. Rooms overlooking handsome gardens are large and clean to the extreme. Large pool and deck area were... More

If you are not a fan of up-country Thai hotels circa 1990, then you would not like the decor of this hotel. For us, though, it was comfortable with charming Thai touches - very much in keeping with its location. Huge lobby with comfortable cane sofas, very airy, polished wood floors, etc. The rooms are large with polished floors, freshly... More
