Lanna teak haven
Intricate teak carvings and red brick walls frame quiet courtyards tucked inside Chiang Mai's historic walled city.
What it’s good at
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Wat Phra Singh is a five-minute walk away, and the weekend walking street markets are an easy stroll.
The rooms
Interiors use dark teak furnishings and rainfall showers. Selected suites open onto private balconies with deep soaking tubs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Sun loungers line the courtyard pool, flanked by climbing green walls and traditional Lanna woodwork.
The spa
Treatments include herbal compress therapy and traditional Thai massage, followed by warm tea and mango sticky rice.
The gym
Cardio machines look out onto the pool through floor-to-ceiling windows, and complimentary bicycles stand ready for the city.
Restaurant
The Vorra Bistro
The glasshouse dining room serves Thai dishes and wood-fired pizza, with live acoustic music on weekend evenings.
How it began
Local design firm Vorrawut Group built the hotel around a preserved heritage residence set among courtyard gardens.

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

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
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.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
