U Chang Mai

Chiang Mai


Tucked efficiently into the heart of the old city, this graceful boutique hotel stands out for its excellent service and stellar location. The apartment-style accommodation surrounds a 19th-century former governor's mansion housing the spa, library and reception, and two plunge pools are tightly squeezed between buildings. The onsite restaurant serves good Thai food and burgers.
