Lanna riverside resort

What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
On the banks of the Ping River… is the kind of restful, tranquil resort you don’t often find in an urban setting.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Chiang Mai Night Bazaar sits minutes up Changklan Road. Across the water lie the ancient ruins of Wiang Kum Kam.

The rooms
Deluxe Balcony rooms feature dark northern woodwork, traditional Lanna fabrics, and private outdoor daybeds overlooking the river.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 480-square-metre infinity pool borders the green riverfront lawn, joined by an outdoor Jacuzzi and wicker loungers.
The spa and gym
Treatment suites include traditional Thai massage mats and rose-petal baths. In the gym, treadmills look onto courtyard gardens.
At the table
Mira serves northern Thai dishes on an open-air riverside terrace, and Rio carves Brazilian churrasco skewers tableside.
How it began
Former Chiang Mai mayor Boonlert Buranupakorn commissioned local guild artisans to build the property, modeling the lobby after northern royal palaces.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
