Sitting beneath the dangling boughs of a 100-year-old rain tree beside the serene Ping River, Na Nirand Retreat captures the charm and whimsy of Chiang Mai. The entire hotel was constructed with Chiang Mai's heritage in mind and aims to preserve the authentic knowledge of its people, evidence of which you'll see throughout the hotel. Built in a Colonial-Lanna style, the rooms feature beautiful textiles, teak pieces and original art, all the handy work of local artisans. Bicycles are always ready and waiting whenever you feel like exploring more of the city, its historic sites, and ornate temples.




Clustered around the hotel's central pool, the 39 rooms are housed in a collection of half-wood villas. They are beautifully appointed with teak and rattan furnishings, handmade decor features, and supremely comfortable beds. Right on the river bank, there are four luxury suites, each with their own signature style and a private pool. The bathrooms are lovely and decorated in fine tiles, and most rooms have a large tub and rainfall shower too.
The scenic setting, tranquil atmosphere and superb yet unobtrusive service. What more could you ask for?
There is a small amphitheatre right beside the river, which is often used for events, but when empty it makes a wonderful spot to sit and take in the view.
While the hotel has a romantic setting that really suits honeymooners, they have fantastic facilities for families so don't feel put off if you're bringing the kids.
