Map & live prices by our partner
Chiang Mai's hotel inventory clusters in a few distinct areas: the Old City, the Night Bazaar, Nimmanhaemin, and along the Ping River. You can find budget rooms from around 464 THB up to luxury stays exceeding 24,000 THB, but the median nightly rate sits close to 1,921 THB. The highest-rated properties in this selection — like the 5-star The Inside House in the Old Town — earn guest reviews above 9.5, though a well-reviewed 3-star like Evergreen Cafe And Hotel also tops 9.6, showing that a high rating doesn't always require a five-star price tag.
If you're here to shop after dark, the Night Bazaar area is the place to be. The Empress Hotel puts you minutes from the night market, while Movenpick Suriwongse Hotel Chiang Mai is just two minutes away. For a 5-star option, Melia Chiang Mai sits steps from the action and offers a spa and pool. These properties are all within a short stroll of the market's stalls and food vendors, so you can easily duck back to your room for a break.
The Old City is Chiang Mai's historic heart, enclosed by a moat and packed with temples. Staying here feels distinctly Lanna — many hotels like Bodhi Serene and U Chiang Mai blend traditional style with modern comfort. The Inside House, a 5-star boutique with 24 rooms and private pool suites, is one of the most highly rated in the Old City at 9.5. You'll be walking distance from Tha Phae Gate and many wats, though expect to pay slightly more for the location compared to properties outside the moat.
For a serene stay along the Ping River, look to properties like 137 Pillars House or Raya Heritage. Both are 5-star retreats set in lush gardens with riverside views. 137 Pillars House has just 30 suites and an impeccable service record, while Raya Heritage scores 9.3 and offers refined Lanna design with pool options. These come at a premium — starting over 10,000 THB a night — but for travellers who want tranquility and water views, they're the standout choices.
Hotels around Chiang Mai Plaza fall into the Night Bazaar district, a few blocks east of the Old City. The area is densely packed with hotels that offer easy access to the plaza, night market, and riverfront. Duangtawan Hotel Chiang Mai and Dusit Princess Chiang Mai are both within a 5-minute walk of Anusarn Market and the Night Bazaar. These properties tend to be large and functional, with pools, breakfast buffets, and a consistent standard of service.
Nimmanhaemin is Chiang Mai's trendiest district, known for its cafes, boutiques, and art galleries. Hotels here, like Amanor Hotel, offer modern suites with balconies and rooftop pools. Kantary Hills Hotel provides spacious suites with kitchenettes along this popular street. Prices are generally mid-range to upscale, with most properties starting between 2,000 and 4,000 THB, giving you a stylish base within easy reach of the city's creative scene.
While most of Chiang Mai's hotels are clustered in the city, a few properties venture into the surrounding mountains. Chai Lai Orchid is a jungle lodge beside the Mae Wang river, where you can wake up to elephants and enjoy hiking and waterfall swims. This is a completely different experience from the urban hotels — far from the Old City, but immersed in nature. Rates start around 3,313 THB, making it a premium choice for those seeking escapes from the hustle.
The typical nightly rate for hotels in Chiang Mai is around 1,921 THB. Budget options can be found for as little as 464 THB, while luxury stays range up to 24,000 THB. Generally, you'll find cheaper rooms in guest houses and 2-star properties, while 4- and 5-star hotels in central areas like the Night Bazaar or Old City command higher prices.
For a first visit, the Old City is a great choice because it puts you within walking distance of many temples, cafes, and Tha Phae Gate. Alternatively, staying near the Night Bazaar keeps you close to the biggest markets and riverfront. If you prefer a more trendy, café-centric vibe, Nimmanhaemin is a good option, but it's a bit farther from the historic attractions.
Chiang Mai International Airport is just southwest of the city, about 10 minutes by car to the Night Bazaar or Old City. Expect a taxi fare of roughly 100–150 THB. For those with later flights, consider hotels that offer airport shuttle services to make morning departures easier.
The cheapest time to visit is generally during the low season from April to September, when prices can drop significantly. However, keep in mind that this coincides with hotter weather and the rainy season. If you're looking for good value without sacrificing weather, consider shoulder months like November and February, when rates are moderate but rainfall is minimal.
Yes, many parts of Chiang Mai are very walkable at night, particularly around the Night Bazaar and the Old City, where you'll find markets, street food, and nightlife. The streets are generally well-lit and busy with tourists, making it safe to stroll. For areas like Nimmanhaemin, sidewalks are a bit less developed, but walking remains feasible for short distances.
Chiang Mai's hotel scene isn't one thing — it's split between the ancient Old City, squeezed inside the moat, the Night Bazaar's commercial buzz to the east, the trendy Nimmanhaemin quarter in the west, and a stretch of riverside properties along the Ping. A 5-star stay here can cost more than 10,000 THB a night (many hover around the 3,000–7,000 THB mark), while a budget room in a 2-star can come in under 500 THB. But the sweet spot for most travellers sits around 1,900 THB — that's the typical nightly rate across the selections shown here.
The city's big draw is its temples and night markets, and the hotels play to that: you'll find properties a five-minute walk from Tha Phae Gate, others that front the Ping River, and a few tucked into the Nimmanhaemin café strip. Guest ratings are high across the board, with a significant chunk of the selection rated 9 or above. If you're looking for something other than a hotel, this page also includes a small number of guest houses and other lodging types, mixed in with the hotel results.
Hotels in Chiang Mai suit travellers who value range: from budget guesthouses to riverside luxury, there's a stay for every style and price. But if you have a specific need, consider these alternatives: for a quick connection, look at airport hotels; for families, family-friendly hotels offer extra space and amenities; and for a more local vibe, hostels and budget hotels give you authenticity over frills. Let this page be your start, then narrow down by your priorities.
