the accommodations are modern in style, sedate and restrained in warm colors and teak and terrazzo floors.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Mae Ping riverfront sits right outside, and the bustling Night Bazaar is a five-minute walk away.
The rooms
Sliding glass doors open onto deep balconies with cushioned daybeds, backed by bathrooms with deep terrazzo soaking tubs.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A 34-metre infinity lap pool stretches along the riverbank, and the fitness centre includes a Muay Thai ring.
The spa
Ten timber-lined suites host traditional northern Lanna healing rituals, including herbal massage and yam khang sacred fire therapy.
At the table
Bodhi Terrace serves regional Thai dishes beneath riverside trees, and restored teak boats host evening dinner cruises along the water.
Australian architect Kerry Hill has masterminded a clean, understated design that centres around the original 1920s colonial building of the former British Consulate.
How it began
The property opened in 2005 as The Chedi, arranged around the restored 1921 British Consulate house.
