Pool, deck, and garden
The outdoor pool sits alongside a sun deck and a garden. It's a proper place to cool off after a day in Chiang Mai, with a terrace adding more outdoor space. The property feels spread out rather than compact.
Rooms built for longer stays
Every room has a refrigerator, electric kettle, and tea and coffee maker. The Family Suite goes further with a private kitchen. That setup suits anyone who wants to eat in, keep groceries, or simply not depend on restaurants for every meal.
Views across the property
The King Room looks onto the pool and the city. The Family Suite takes in the mountains alongside city and landmark views from its private balcony. Both angles give a sense of Chiang Mai's geography without leaving your room.
On-site coffee house
There is a coffee house at the property. It's a straightforward option for a morning cup before heading out, without needing to hunt for a café nearby.
