Where to stay in Chiang Mai?

Chiang Mai is a city on a human scale, but each area has its own character. The Old City, surrounded by its moat and walls, is home to most temples and guesthouses: everything can be done on foot, making it the ideal choice for a first visit.

Nimmanhaemin appeals to those who love trendy cafés and modern restaurants, the Night Bazaar area to those who want to be close to the night markets, and the banks of the Ping River to those looking for a quiet boutique hotel. Discover our advice for each area and our three favourite hotels.
