About

The Chiang Mai Riverside

The Chiang Mai Riverside sits along the river in a quiet part of Chiang Mai, about 3.8 km from the lively Anusarn Market. With just 14 rooms, the hotel keeps an intimate feel, and each room opens onto views of the pool. The property is designed for easy living: rooms include kitchenettes for longer stays, and the common areas are set up for relaxation—a saltwater pool, sun loungers, and a garden.

Service is a standout here, with guests regularly praising the friendly and accommodating staff. The hotel also makes exploring simple, with car hire, tour assistance, and a paid airport shuttle. Families are well looked after with cots, a children's pool, and board games on site.
