Chiang Mai · Thailand
On the Ping river, around the old British consulate
Historic palace
A riverside city resort on the Ping, centred on the 1920s British consulate, close to the night bazaar and the old city.
The resort stands on the bank of the Ping river in the heart of Chiang Mai. At its centre is 1921 House, the former British consulate, now a restaurant and a verandah for afternoon tea. The rooms and suites are contemporary with Lanna touches, most with balconies over the river.
It is quiet yet close to everything: the old city and the night bazaar are a short ride away, while the gardens and pool sit by the water. Its larger suites suit families, some with a heated plunge pool in a private courtyard.
Accommodation
Dining
Dinner in the historic consulate, afternoon tea on its verandah, and Thai cooking classes.
