Stunning Lanna-inspired architecture by Boonlert Hemvijitraphan
Peaceful riverside location that feels like a true escape
Exceptional breakfast with a la carte options (no sad buffets here)
En bref : It’s a 25-minute drive to the city center, so if you want to stumble home from a bar at 2am, this isn't for you.
Évalué par @dfmarin: I honestly didn't want to leave. The mix of Lanna heritage design and modern luxury is perfect. My favorite part was just sitting by the river with a coffee, listening to the birds. It’s the most peaceful place I’ve stayed in Chiang Mai.
Ce que les clients qui ont séjourné ici ont dit
The hype
Guests universally adore the design, the staff's attention to detail, and the peaceful atmosphere.
Reality check
The ground floor pool suites have privacy issues (hedges aren't high enough) and can be buggy due to the river proximity.
You appreciate slow travel and artisanal details over glitz
You plan to spend significant time relaxing at the resort
You want a quiet, romantic getaway

Maintenance: Excellent condition, though upcoming 2026 renovations suggest they are proactive about keeping it that way.
Linens & towels: High thread count, crisp, and replaced daily if requested.
Odors & scents: Signature white ginger scent throughout the property; very fresh.

Mosquitoes are real; the hotel provides spray, but bring your preferred brand
Quoi emporter
Strong mosquito repellent (DEET free options provided, but bring the heavy stuff if you're sweet)
Slip-on shoes for easy temple/room transitions
A good book—this place is designed for reading on the terrace

Génie de demande de chambre – copier & coller
“I would love to request a Huen Bon Suite on the 3rd floor for the high ceilings and privacy. If that is not available, a 2nd-floor Rin Terrace Suite away from the main walkway would be wonderful.”
FAQ et astuces cachées
Tout ce que vous voulez vraiment savoir avant de réserver.
Is there a resort fee?
No specific 'resort fee', but expect the standard Thai 10% service charge and 7% VAT added to everything.
Is the pool heated?
No, but the Thailand heat usually keeps it comfortable. Note: Pool deck is closed June 2026.
Can I walk to restaurants?
Not really. The road is busy and not pedestrian-friendly. You'll need a Grab or the shuttle.

Technically no, but children under 6 are not allowed, keeping the vibe very adult.
How far is the airport?
About 30-40 minutes depending on traffic.
Do they have a gym?
Yes, a small but well-equipped gym with high-quality machines.
