About the Hotel

A haven of peace within the 700year old city walls of Chiang Mai, in Northern Thailand, Rachamankha is a small, yet spacious gem in the crown of Thai boutique hotels. Designed by one of Thailand’s most renowned architects, and with the interior and landscaping designed by an equally renowned designer, the property is more a work of art than a hotel.

With only 18 superior rooms, 4 deluxe rooms, and 2 two-bedroomed suites set around two enclosed courtyards privacy and serenity are guaranteed. The colonnaded walkways - reminiscent of Lanna, Northern Thai, temples - and the central sala give the guestroom courtyards an ecclesiastical air: the structure of the sala is in fact a ‘wiharn’, or prayer hall from an old Lanna period temple that was earmarked for destruction; revived and rebuilt by the architects at Rachamankha as a very relaxing and quiet private lounge area for the guests.

The restaurant is illuminated by large Lanna lanterns, and beautifully decorated with 19th century paintings that describe part of the life of Lord Buddha on a large cloth that hangs down from the ceiling. Antique Chinese tables and Ming Dynasty plates are placed tastefully along the sides of the restaurant.

Above the restaurant is the Gallery, which serves to educate guests about Lanna culture, and also to provide a meeting room. It is filled with silverware, lacqueurware, hilltribe jewellery, a sword collection, an 18th century Buddha image, and post, plates that were discovered when the hotel site was excavated.
