Thai Akara - Lanna Boutique Hotel

Thai Akara - Lanna Boutique Hotel is a four-star, three-storey hotel inside Chiang Mai’s Old City. Three Kings Monument is about 400 metres away, Tha Phae Gate 600 metres, Wat Chedi Luang 850 metres, and the Night Bazaar around 1.2 km — close enough to walk to most of it rather than needing a tuk-tuk for every outing.

Rooms & Facilities

Seven room categories run from a 32 sqm Superior up to an 80 sqm one-bedroom suite with a jacuzzi. The 36 sqm Deluxe has its own balcony, the 38 sqm Pool Access room opens straight onto the pool, and the 38 sqm Triple sleeps three across single beds. For four guests, the 44 sqm Deluxe Family Room pairs a king with two singles. Executive and one-bedroom suites sleep two even though some listings show higher maximums — book the Family Room if you need more space.

A heated saltwater pool, restaurant, pool bar, fitness room, room service, free Wi-Fi and parking, a 24-hour desk and a lift round out the facilities. There’s no spa. Rooms come with a fridge or minibar and a kettle rather than a cooking kitchen, so plan on the restaurant or nearby food stalls for meals.

Insider Tip: Ask for a room away from the street if nightlife noise bothers you — Zoe in Yellow is close by, and a few recent reviews mention club noise carrying into lower rooms.

This suits travellers who want Old City temples on foot without giving up a pool, restaurant and fitness room — couples, friends and families all have a room that works. It’s a weaker fit if you want a secluded setting or a full spa; walk a few streets over for those extras instead.
