Rachamankha
Rachamankha is an oasis, one of those you’d-never-know-it-was-there places down an unassuming street in Chiang Mai’s old city. Even the architecture typifies the cultural melting pot of the area; Chinese and Thai design perfectly in sync, producing something that speaks of scale, comfort and history.

U Chiang Mai
At the heart of the old city is U Chiang Mai, a vivacious boutique hotel that perfectly blends modern convenience, a bustling location and beautiful northern decor. Its position facing the busy Sunday Markets makes it hard to imagine being any closer to the action, but it somehow manages to occupy a space all its own.

Tamarind Village
A tamarind tree over 200 years old marks the centre of this remarkable, refined hotel at the end of a bamboo archway. Built in 2002, Tamarind Village occupies a white Lanna-style building featuring tiled pavilions, covered walkways, lime plaster walls and dark mahogany. It may be relatively new, but it feels steeped in ancient culture.
