Nice and perfect place for my vacation. Super comfy bedding. Really love the seat area by the river. Good breakfast dinner and coffee. I actually enjoy everything here.
2 The Craft Nimman Hotel



images
Nice boutique hotel in the chic area where are a lot of boutique eatery, great for connoisseur. Friendly front reception staffs, room is well though of, minimalist but you have everything the traveller can ask for. The colour scheme is warm & welcoming, mattress & pillow are comfortable. Aircon is just right temperature & not blowing into your face. Shower pressure is good. Only draw back is their breakfast area, too small but who care, lots of nice & chic breakfast cafe you can walk to.

Spacious room at great location. Pool side was great for occasional work that we had to do. Many lovely cafes and restaurants around. We booked the suite with window but the window was facing opposite room within the hotel. Something to take note.
5 The Inside House

Unique and authentic interior design. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is superb! The promotion price include breakfast and afternoon tea. The mini bar in the room is free! And they give plenty of water unlike other hotel
Location is great only 8-9 mins to airport

6 Kate and Hasu Boutique Chiangmai

CLEAN. probably one of the most important things a hotel can provide is cleanliness and this place was clean. The breakfast was decent, nothing amazing. The rooms are tiny, and the shower is cramped and when you shower a good portion of the bathroom gets wet. But, if you want a clean, affordable place to stay and can deal with a small room and bathroom, this is a great place. Oh yeah, location is great too.
7 Na Nirand Romantic Boutique Resort



images
No matter what the occasion is, the word 'excellence' always come to mind. The magical ambience of impressive service, scenery, and unforgettable memories that you would want to cherish forever. Timeless just like the iconic tree standing the test of time sheltering all those who visit with inviting branches ready like a welcoming embrace.
8 Nampiangdin Boutique Hotel

Friendly and service minded staffs
Clean and new
Parking space quite limited but under a good control and eye
9 The Chiang Mai OLD TOWN Hotel

The hotel is suitable for all family members. Extra bed is super large and comfy. Love all the decorations and convenience provided. Staffs are friendly and helpful. The food at the Vorra Bistro is of a superb quality. Will definitely be back soon.
11 Ping Nakara Boutique Hotel and Spa

Very good hotel, wonderful service n attentive staff.
12 Shewe Wana Suite Resort



images
The staff are very friendly and helpful. Located uniquely in the midst of commercial lot and we were surprised at how the landscape and villas were designed and setup you’d think it is actually at some remote location. Huge villa for my family of 6. Beautifully decorated too.
Just have to be careful with the mosquitoes at dusk.
Edited - breakfast is excellent! Great tasty and high energy breakfast options in the menu
13 Hotel YaYee



images
Chill, local with great inventive cocktails and small plates. Chicken wings! Staff are super friendly and prices reasonable for a hotel bar.

Superb boutique hotel which super nice staff, swimming pool, clean rooms, nice breakfast and close to the old town on one side and the nightmarket on the other side.
16 Tamarind Village



images
The Tamarind Village is a lovely small hotel set right in the middle of Chiang Mai's Old Town. Everywhere in the city is accessible from there. Lovely rooms, great staff and a restaurant full of lovely food make this a place worth coming back to.

This hotel is very nice! Located in a great location (super close to the Sunday night market) and lots of wonderful restaurants and Thai massage places. The staff was the best part of the hotel they were wonderful! Breakfast was great too! 10/10 would stay here again next time I am in Chiang Mai!
18 Hotel des Artists, Ping Silhouette

Highly recommended to visit this hotel!! Very classy in hotel designed and decorated. You can take a photo in all areas with nice furnitures. The room is quite functional and clean. All staffs are friendly and helpful. There’s also have a small nice coffee shop inside. Unfortunately, the restaurant is still closed because of COVID-19. I really love to be here. Very cozy and easy to go in the city. I can walk around and take photo along Ping river as well. Love it!! I will revisit this hotel for sure!!!
19 137 Pillars House Chiang Mai



images
Palette Restaurant: Tradition and modernity! Visited on 8 November 2020. You should come here even if you are not a hotel guest. In the centre of the extensive complex is the 150-year-old, huge teak house on supposedly 137 pillars. It houses the small, fine Palette Restaurant, and - not to be missed - the Parlour Lounge for the aperitif and the Jack Bains Bar for the digestive. The restaurant serves perfect Thai-French fusion cuisine in an incredibly charming atmosphere. All this has class, just like in famous traditional luxury hotels. Coupled with culinary delights, this is an attraction you will never forget.
20 Khum Phaya Resort & Spa, Centara Boutique Collection

Beautiful outdoor setting. Afternoon cake and coffee.
