While Chiang Mai has thousands of hotels and guesthouses spread across a vast area, we’ve concentrated on what we believe are the two most convenient areas to stay: within the Old City walls and between the eastern Old City wall and the Ping River, with a couple of more far-flung options thrown in.
We have 33 places to stay in and around Chiang Mai.
Our pick of the crop
Chiang Mai’s old walled city is home to the densest concentration of guesthouses and hotels and there’s a very good reason for this: Some of the most crowd-pleasing temples, best shopping and great eating is also within the walls. At times a rabbit warren of back lanes and alleys, you can also do very well in this part of Chiang Mai if you’re looking for a quiet room.
