Maraya Hotel & Resort

On the banks of the Ping River in Chiang Mai, directly opposite the ancient city of Wieng Kum Kam. Steps from riverside calm yet minutes from the action — about 5 minutes to the Night Bazaar and a short drive to Chiang Mai Intl. Airport and CentralPlaza Chiang Mai Airport.

A riverside boutique resort with a Culture & Art vibe that nods to Northern Thailand and the Lanna kingdom. Just 18 air-conditioned rooms, each with a private balcony, minibar and fridge, 40-inch LCD TV and ensuite bathroom (separate tub and rainfall shower on many rooms). Expect river views, local artwork accents and a laid-back, design-forward atmosphere.

Soak in the outdoor pool, stroll the terrace and garden, or rent a bicycle to explore the riverfront. Wellness options include a massage room and on-site doctor service. Free shuttle runs multiple times daily, there’s concierge and tour/ticket assistance, plus free self-parking.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Practical services include 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, dry cleaning/laundry and limo/town car or airport transfer arrangements.

On-site restaurant and a coffee shop/cafe serve guests. A complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast is offered daily (served 7:30 AM–10:00 AM), and limited room service is available for quieter nights in.
