The Chiang Mai Riverside  

Perched on the serene Ping River in Chiang Mai’s Riverside district, this luxury boutique hotel residence sits about 3–5 km from the old city and roughly 7 km from Chiang Mai International Airport. Minutes from Mae Ping Elephant Village, the Ancient Car Museum and Chiang Mai City Arts & Cultural Center, it’s an easy base for sightseeing and riverfront strolls.

Inspired by ancient Lanna architecture, the hotel offers 14 suites (1–2 bedroom) with private balconies that face the river. Rooms feature air conditioning, iPod docks, minibars, plasma TVs, bathrobes and slippers, plus daily housekeeping and grocery delivery for a comfortable, family-friendly stay.

Take a dip in the outdoor (and indoor) pool or hit the 24-hour fitness center. There’s a picnic and barbecue area, concierge and tour desk for day trips, 24-hour security and free Wi‑Fi throughout — perfect for waking up to river-breeze mornings and heading out refreshed.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. The property also offers free self-parking, a 24-hour front desk, dry cleaning/laundry and a safe-deposit box; a roundtrip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge.

Dine at The Vorra Bistro for Thai flavors and a relaxed bar/lounge vibe, or order room service. Cooked-to-order breakfasts are served daily from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM for a fee.
