Hidden amid the tranquil woodlands of Khao Yai, Maison Mystique is more than a boutique hotel, it is a dream brought to life. Conceived by founders Fearn Kate and Bun Dhadasih, this intimate retreat was envisioned as a “House of Imagination,” where hospitality becomes a form of storytelling and every detail evokes emotion, curiosity, and wonder.
From the very beginning, the philosophy behind Maison Mystique has been built on the belief that hospitality can be an art form, one that transcends service to create meaningful, sensory experiences. Inviting guests not only to rest, but to feel deeply, dream freely, and carry away memories that linger long after they leave.
Set across 44 rai of landscaped gardens, the property centres around a mysterious manor embraced by the Garden of Curiosity a living gallery where nature, nostalgia, and quiet wonder converge. Winding pathways reveal secret gates, vine-draped archways, and poetic landscapes such as Le Jardin Bijoux, The Maze, and The Woodland and Bird of Eden. Within this enchanting setting, beauty is discovered slowly, revealed through textures, scents, and light rather than spectacle.
Inside Maison Mystique, each corridor, softly lit by lanterns, leads to hidden corners where antique curiosities mingle with botanical sculptures. The design combines refined elegance with a touch of whimsy hand-painted details, aged wood, and celestial motifs weave together to create an atmosphere that feels timeless, as though the house itself has been waiting patiently to be rediscovered.
At its soul lies the Hall of Mystery, where a grand emerald marble staircase spirals upward beneath carved rosettes and indigo walls. Nearby, the Garden Hall offers a softer contrast a sanctuary of alabaster and soft greens, its treillage-lined walls and potted ferns echoing the orangeries of old Europe. Upstairs, the Hall of Starry Night shimmers beneath a hand-painted celestial ceiling, where gold stars and crescent moons make every evening feel touched by the cosmos.
The Bibliothèque Émeraude, Maison Mystique’s library, is a refuge of dark green tones, jazz melodies, and soft lamplight. By day, it offers quiet contemplation among vintage books and artworks. By night, it transforms into a stylish bar serving martinis and classic cocktails, resonating with the soulful rhythm of live piano.
Maison Mystique’s 22 rooms and suites are divided into four thematic worlds: Botanical Obscura, Nocturnal Curiosities, Siren Reverie, and Celestial Lullaby. Each tells its own story through materials, mood, and motif.
Botanical Obscura pays homage to the natural world with vintage specimens, floral illustrations, and rooms such as The Darwin Room and The Bird’s Calendar, echoing the spirit of 19th-century exploration. Nocturnal Curiosities embraces the allure of twilight, where Rosie’s Curiosities glows with preserved butterflies beneath glass domes, and The Night Blooming envelops guests in teal velvet and soft candlelight.
In Siren Reverie, sacred hearts and antique sculptures speak of passion and transformation, with suites like Lilith’s Heart and The Heart Poem exploring love, resilience, and divine femininity. Meanwhile, Celestial Lullaby turns its gaze to the stars, with the two-storey Odyssey to the Stars and Moonwatcher’s Companion cocooning guests in a dreamscape of midnight blue and gold.
The Vivarium Dining Room, the hotel’s signature restaurant, is a glasshouse conservatory with a floral ceiling and nature-inspired menus celebrating local, seasonal produce. The Botanist’s Bible, a dark and intimate salon de thé, invites guests to linger over fine teas and delicate pastries surrounded by vintage botanical prints.
At Bar Mystère, smoked herbs, edible flowers, and imaginative mixology create drinks that are equal parts art and alchemym while Hidden Adam an invitation-only whisky salon offers connoisseurs a secluded haven to sip and savour rare spirits in hushed sophistication.
The Garden of Curiosity extends the story into nature. Designed as a living gallery, it features distinct landscapes such as Mahogany Lane, Roses Are Red Garden, and the Kitchen Garden, where fresh herbs and seasonal produce are harvested daily. Every turn reveals another vignette a bridge over a pond, a marble statue half-veiled in vines, or a secret gate leading to a hidden grove.
Maison Mystique is not just a destination; it is an invitation to slow down and rediscover wonder. Here, hospitality is poetry in motion, crafted with heart, artistry, and an enduring sense of imagination. Whether wandering its gardens, dining beneath blossoms, or listening to soft jazz in the library, guests find themselves drawn into a world where time stands still a world that feels at once mysterious, romantic, and deeply human.
