A characterful boutique hotel in the heart of Chiang Mai

Exploring Chiang Mai's old town is an absolute must for any visit to Chiang Mai. Impressive temples, golden Buddha statues, pagodas, and royal palaces evoke the lost splendor of the ancient Lanna kingdom. Awarded 4 stars, The Rim Resort boutique hotel opened its doors in the historic heart of Chiang Mai's old quarter.

The rooms are spacious and impeccably clean. The bathroom features generous proportions. The canal view is breathtaking. The hotel combines a traditional Lanna-style mansion with the lush vegetation typical of Thailand. After an exhausting day exploring the sacred sites of the old town, guests can enjoy a refreshing swim or a peaceful stroll through the gardens. At The Rim Resort, relaxation, discovery, and comfort are the watchwords.

Where the hotel is located

The Rim Resort appeals to travelers with its prime location in the heart of Chiang Mai. A boutique hotel just steps from Wat Phra Singh and the famous night bazaar is a genuine advantage. Arriving by air? Expect a 2.5 km journey from Chiang Mai Airport.

Pets are not permitted at the property.

For an unforgettable stay in Chiang Mai's old town, here's the address to remember: 51/2 Arak Rd, Tambon Si Phum, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50200, Thailand.

Elegant rooms and suites

Total immersion is guaranteed in this residence built entirely in teak wood, from flooring to ceiling. Each room features cable television, Wi-Fi connectivity, and a landline telephone. These modern amenities are complemented by a minibar, electric kettle, and tea and coffee service. The bathroom is impeccable, featuring a bathtub and all the toiletries you may need.

Guests' favorite feature remains the private balcony, where you can enjoy breakfast or relax in the afternoon while watching the sunset unfold.

The Rim Resort offers several accommodation types. The standard room is already comfortably appointed, but for additional comfort or privacy, consider booking a Deluxe room, a Supreme Deluxe room, or even better, a Junior Suite. The difference lies naturally in the living space (over 50 m² for the Deluxe category).

A small private lounge and a bathroom with an SPA bathtub complete the comfort of the Deluxe rooms.

Quality dining

There is an on-site restaurant – The Canal – where guests can order Lanna specialties or classics from French, Italian, or American cuisine. As its name suggests, the restaurant is worth visiting as much for the cuisine as for the stunning waterside views. Breakfast is complimentary. For wine and spirits enthusiasts, a bar is located near the pool.

Attractions near the hotel

Chiang Mai enjoys an artistic and cultural influence unparalleled throughout northern Thailand. Ancient Buddhist temples such as Wat Phra Singh, Wat Sri Suphan, and Wat Chedi Luang will delight history lovers. With their sophisticated multi-tiered roofs, they are often regarded as masterpieces of Lanna architecture. To access the old town, you'll pass through Thapae Gate, a monumental gate erected in the 13th century when Chiang Mai was founded. Beyond the majestic temples, the Rose of the North offers additional attractions: the climb up Doi Suthep, an evening of shopping at Chiang Mai's night bazaar or the Sunday Walking Street. With so many attractions to discover nearby, boredom is simply not an option at The Rim Resort.
