Rachamankha Boutique Hotel
Rachamankha is a Relais & Châteaux sanctuary inspired by 15th-century Lanna monasteries, offering art-filled courtyards, tranquil pools, and gracious Thai hospitality inside Chiang Mai Old City walls.
Designed by Thai architect Ong-ard Satrabhandhu, Rachamankha channels the serenity of northern Thailand's Lanna temples. Just 26 rooms and suites are arranged around cloistered courtyards filled with bougainvillea, antique ceramics, and candle-lit pathways. Interiors feature hand-carved furniture, original art, and crisp linens.
The library houses a curated collection of Southeast Asian artefacts, while the 20-metre pool invites afternoon escapes after temple hopping. The hotel's restaurant showcases classic northern Thai dishes and European favourites using organic produce from nearby farms.
