Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable attractions lie within easy reach of the hotel:

• Chiang Mai Night Bazaar: Just a 10-minute walk from the hotel, this iconic open-air market stretches for blocks along Chang Klan Road. Browse handcrafted Lanna textiles, silver jewelry, and handmade souvenirs, then sample Northern Thai street food classics like khao soi sai mai and mango sticky rice from the countless food stalls lining the walkways.
• Wat Phra Singh Woramahawihan: A 15-minute drive from the hotel, this 14th-century temple is one of Chiang Mai’s most revered religious sites. It houses the revered Phra Singh Buddha image and features stunning traditional Lanna murals and carved teak architecture that showcase Northern Thailand’s unique artistic heritage.
• Maerim Elephant Sanctuary: Located just 12 kilometers (less than a 30-minute drive) from the property, this ethical sanctuary offers visitors the chance to feed, bathe, and walk with rescued elephants in a natural, cage-free environment, avoiding the unethical riding practices common at less responsible venues.

Travel Tips

Book a room with a balcony for early morning coffee with city views, and arrange a paid airport transfer through the hotel for a stress-free arrival after your flight. If you’re visiting in the hotter dry season (March to May), take advantage of the pool’s all-day opening to cool off after morning temple sightseeing. Ask the front desk tour desk to book a private day trip to Doi Inthanon National Park if you want to escape the city heat and explore mountain waterfalls and hill tribe villages. For dinner, walk 5 minutes from the hotel to the local Haiya Street Food market for cheaper, more authentic meals than the tourist-focused spots near the night bazaar.
