Nearby Local Attractions

Three unmissable Chiang Mai landmarks are just a short ride from the hotel:

• Wat Phra That Doi Suthep: A 15-minute drive up the mountain, this iconic 14th-century hilltop temple houses a revered Buddha relic and offers panoramic views over the entire Chiang Mai valley.

Travel Tips

If you’re arriving by plane, book the hotel’s paid airport shuttle in advance for a hassle-free transfer straight to your door. Bicycle rental from the hotel is the best way to get around flat Nimmanhaemin, and songthaew (shared red truck) pick-ups are available right on the main road for just 20 baht per ride to the Old City. Bring a portable Wi-Fi device or buy a local SIM card on arrival, as the property does not offer internet. For longer stays, the in-room washing machine and kitchenette let you save money on dining and laundry, making this one of the best value stays in trendy Nimman.
