If you are a solo traveller or couple looking for peaceful, relaxing hotel in a quiet location yet close to the nearby attractions of Chiang Mai, then I suggest you put Amata Lanna Village at the top of your list.
I booked a 7-night stay and it was the highlight of my 14-day trip to Chiang Mai. There are only 14 rooms surrounded by beautiful gardens, with a pool and al fresco dining area for breakfast.
I was looking for somewhere peaceful to relax, not too far from the night bazaar and Old Town area and Amata Lanna was just perfect. The beautiful Lanna style rooms are clean and comfortable and include a spa bath - which is a great way to wind down if you've been out and about during the day.
Unlike some listings on Trip Advisor, and Google the photos are an accurate reflection of the hotel, its room and facilities. What you see is what you get and IT IS wonderful.
I have to make special mention of the staff who are warm, friendly and welcoming - especially Yumi at the front desk - for whom nothing is ever too much trouble and makes a special effort to ensure you have an enjoyable stay.
I can highly recommend Amata Lanna Village to those visiting Chiang Mai who prefer a peaceful, relaxing boutique style of accommodation and will happily stay here again when we visit Chiang Mai again in the future.
Thank you Yumi and team for a...

Breakfast was excellent- a range of western and Asian options freshly cooked. With espresso coffee, salad and bread. The staff spoke great English :) The location is a bit outside of the Old City close to the riverside and just a few mins walk to a beautiful temple (Wat Chai Mongkol). The Chiang night bazaar is on every evening and is walking distance to the hotel. Highly recommended to go the International Food court Ploen Ruedee (google it) for evening eats, beers and music. The food court is 15 mins walk away from the hotel. Personally I wanted to be in among the energy and density of the Old City - that was my vibe. However, a short Grab taxi was all that was needed to get anywhere. The road next to the hotel does get quite busy and noisy in late arvo. So bring some earplugs for your afternoon siesta. In the evening it does...
Read moreA hidden gem in the middle of the city with a very stunning traditional structure, Amata Lanna Chiang Mai is a very nice stay if you want to stay in the city centre.
The architecture is a stunner in itself, with a little over a dozen rooms spanning two floors surrounding a small swimming pool. You will find yourself surrounded by old teak furnishing, traditional wood carvings.
We stayed a couple of days in a Deluxe Double room on the ground floor. You cannot call it spacious compared to the room sizes other emerging hotels in CNX have to offer. But the size is adequate, and a generous proportion is spared for a lavish bathroom.
This little haven isn't without shortcomings though (more below). But in general, we did enjoy our stay and you just cannot help feel pampered by the superb hospitality from the warm, friendly and exceptionally...
