Map & live prices by our partner
Family accommodation in Chiang Mai ranges from 729 THB for a budget room to 24,249 THB for a luxury suite, with a typical nightly rate of 2,584 THB. The biggest cluster of family-friendly hotels centres on the Night Bazaar, where you’ll find the Chiang Mai Marriott Hotel, Melia Chiang Mai, and Duangtawan Hotel Chiang Mai, all close to the market’s evening stalls. In the Old Town, The Inside House and 99 The Heritage Hotel offer boutique stays within the old city walls, while Nimmanhaemin has U Nimman Chiang Mai and Art Mai Gallery Nimman Hotel Chiang Mai. You’ll pay more for a 5-star, but even mid-range 4-star hotels here usually include a pool and breakfast.
The typical cost is 2,584 THB per night, with budget rooms from 729 THB and luxury suites up to 24,249 THB. Prices are higher in the Old Town and near the Night Bazaar, while Nimmanhaemin offers more mid-range options.
The Night Bazaar area is the most convenient for families, with hotels like the Chiang Mai Marriott Hotel, Melia Chiang Mai, and Dusit Princess Chiang Mai within walking distance of the market, restaurants and riverfront. The Old Town is also a good choice if you prefer a quieter, cultural base, though it tends to be more expensive.
Many central hotels, such as Night Bazaar Inn, offer a free airport shuttle. Otherwise, a taxi from Chiang Mai International Airport to the Night Bazaar or Old Town takes about 15–20 minutes and typically costs 150–250 THB.
Yes, the Night Bazaar and Old Town are generally safe and well-lit, with night markets, food stalls and shops that stay open into the evening. The main caution is traffic, so hold hands near the roads. The Ping River area is quieter at night, ideal after dinner walks.
For the peak season from November to February, book at least 2–3 months ahead, especially for 5-star family hotels like 137 Pillars House or Raya Heritage – Sha Plus. For the rest of the year, 2–4 weeks is usually enough, except around Songkran in April.
Chiang Mai is a family travel favourite for good reason: the old city’s moat-ringed streets are safe and walkable, the Night Bazaar’s maze of stalls keeps kids entertained after dark, and the surrounding mountains hold elephant sanctuaries, waterfalls and hill-tribe villages. The family-friendly hotels here cluster in three distinct zones — the Old Town inside the moat, the Nimmanhaemin quarter west of the university, and the night-market strip east of the Ping River.
The range is wide: a bunk-bed guesthouse near Tha Phae Gate can cost as little as 729 THB a night, while a riverside 5-star with a kids’ club and private pool villas runs to 24,249 THB. Across the whole selection, the average guest rating is 8.6, with the highest-scoring properties reaching 9.5. The most common star level is 4, followed by 5 and then 3 — so most family hotels offer more space and facilities than a bare budget room, but you are never far from a genuinely upscale option.
This selection of family-friendly hotels suits travellers who want a stay tailored to kids, with pools, breakfast and space to spread out — whether that’s a budget base near the Night Bazaar or a luxury riverside retreat.
