5 star Independent hotels in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Wonderful place for family with children. The activities at the property were great for young and old.

We absolutely loved Rachamankha. I wish we had spent more than 2 nights there. The grounds were beautiful, the staff was helpful, and the location was ideal.

This hotel was so relaxing and nice on every standard. ..breakfast food...staff friendly/helpful...very professional spa and services...my husband and I loved the stay here...we live in New York...this hotel was easily a 5 star resort back home for very reasonable price compared to what it would probably cost in the state's

This really is a brilliant hotel. Great location in Chiang Mai only a 5 minute walk from the night Bazaar. There's nothing I could fault about it. Breakfast is great, tranquil pool setting tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Chiang Mai, room was fantastic with complimentary minibar, selection of movies to watch on in room DVD player. Staff were excellent throughout. Highly recommend this hotel.

Driving down the narrow road to the hotel, I thought, "Oh, no! What have I gotten us into?" Then we turned into the drive away, stepped out of the van and entered the hotel grounds. The scene topped all my expectations. The staff were exceedingly warm and polite--treating us like foreign dignitaries. The decour of our room brought us back to 1900 in old Asia. My wife and I most highly recommend this hotel.

I have never had such an welcoming and comfortable hotel stay. Every component of our stay was focused on our comfort and experience. We checked in on New Years Eve, and there was an amazing special meal for the occasion, followed by a local (in the hotel) show of fireworks and Thai dance, followed by a champagne toast of the New Year at Chiang Mai's Royal Gardens (2558 pieces, based on the year). And when that wasn't going on, we sat by the Koi pond, the most peaceful spot I have ever seen. I have never had such a wonderful stay anywhere. Credit goes to their amazing manager, Gino, and their outstanding Chef, Scott Waxman, and to the place itself.
