Rachamankha Hotel

A beautiful and sophisticated boutique hotel done to the highest level and filled with beautiful antiques, but not at all intimidating or pretentious. The staff were superb, clearly very well trained and supervised. Location is very convenient for the old town. The restaurant was excellent. I could not imagine a better place to stay in Chiang Mai.

A jewel-box of a hotel, designed by a leading Thai architect in an elegant, thoughtful way and filled with museum-quality southeast Asian antiques, the hotel is stylish and sophisticated without feeling stuffy or pretentious. It is clear no detail has been unattended to, from the excellently trained staff to the excellent restaurant, from the thoughtful design to the ease of use. I could not imagine a better place to stay in Chiang Mai.

It was so zen

Outstanding boutique hotel in a great location in the old city. This hotel is a passion project for its architect builder. Every last detail is perfectly curated. 3 gardeners sweep the lawn early each morning so no cheeky leaves spoil the perfect green. The public areas a decorated with Thai and Chinese antiques. Ming dynasty horses guard the restaurant building and Ming lions guard the guest areas. The ambience of the hotel is Luxe ancient China. The staff and service is outstanding, friendly not stuffy and very personalised. We ate at the hotel restaurant 2 of the 6 nights we stayed, delicious food priced at a similar level to a decent restaurant elsewhere in the city. Breakfast is chosen from a menu, 3 choices allowed, all the usual Western favourites feature as well as a couple of Thai soups. We booked the hotel car for a day to take us to Doi Suthep and a few other places. It was a very comfortable Van. The driver, Noi was fantastic, a terrific guide and gave good suggestions for extra places to visit. The location is an easy walk to watch Phra Singh, lots of upmarket spas and a number of nice cafes. We used Grab to get around, a car always appeared at the hotel within 5 minutes of being ordered. We highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay on our next trip to Chiang Mai.
