Map & live prices by our partner
The highest-rated properties in this set reflect Chiang Mai's split personality: you have the serene riverside luxury of The Inside House and Maladee Rendezvous Hotel Chiang Mai, both at 9.5, and the equally impressive Raya Heritage - Sha Plus at 9.3. For a central option with a long guest history, Smile Lanna Hotel holds a 9.1 from over 2,700 reviews, making it a consistently loved choice in the heart of the city.
For this level of service, the price range is broad, with many central properties available for around 3,000-5,000 THB per night. This buys you a private pool in some cases, as at Melia Chiang Mai, or a rooftop pool with mountain views at U Nimman Chiang Mai. The most expensive options, like 137 Pillars House at 10,402 THB and Raya Heritage at 13,118 THB, trade that urban convenience for a calmer riverside setting.
Prices start from around 1,590 THB per night for a central hotel like the Intercontinental Chiang Mai The Mae Ping, with typical rates around 4,870 THB. Riverfront and luxury boutique properties can exceed 13,000 THB.
The Old Town is home to boutique properties like The Inside House and Chala Number6, while the Night Bazaar area has larger hotels like Melia Chiang Mai and Chiang Mai Marriott Hotel. For a more contemporary vibe, consider the Nimman district.
Melia Chiang Mai is about a 10-minute walk, and the Chiang Mai Marriott Hotel sits directly within the Night Bazaar area. Ama'S House Luxury Boutique Hotel is also just steps from the market.
Chiang Mai's five-star scene is anything but uniform. Within the old moat, you'll find intimate boutiques set in colonial teak houses, while along the Ping River, contemporary suites face the water. Further out, Nimman's designer hotels and wellness retreats offer a more modern, creative energy. This page gathers the best of these distinct experiences.
The price range among these properties is substantial, from around 1,590 THB for a central stay to over 24,000 THB for a riverside suite. Your budget opens different doors: at the lower end, you get solid five-star comfort and location; at the top end, you're paying for space, privacy, and often a riverside setting.
The five-star hotels in Chiang Mai are best for travelers who want a high level of service and comfort, whether in the historic Old Town, the vibrant Night Bazaar, or the peaceful Nimman district. If you need a hotel with parking, you'll find dedicated options on the 'Hotels with parking' page. For family-focused amenities, check 'Family Friendly hotels'. If your budget is more limited, the '3 star hotels' or '4 star hotels' pages offer a good alternative. Those who prefer a self-contained resort experience might also consider the 'Resort' listings available.
