Superior rooms are smaller but better located in a separate building with garden views – ask for an upstairs one.

Concierge "The style complements its quiet, old-city location just inside the western moat near Wat Phra Singh, Chiang Mai's most important temple."
Rough Guide "Looking more like a temple than a hotel, this spacious, architect-owned property with just 24 elegant rooms is hidden in the quiet backstreets of the old city."
Jetsetter "A Zen-like 25-room luxury hotel in a hidden courtyard near Chiang Mai’s most iconic temples." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler99.6
"Modeled on the simple yet noble northern Thai–style temples nearby, this 25-room, single-story inn is a neat little assemblage of white-plaster buildings capped by peaked terra-cotta roofs." Full review
Star Service "This delightful boutique offering is located down a few backstreets in the old city, but guests shouldn't be put off by the less-than-grand address." Full review
Gayot "Situated in Chiang Mai next to the city's most famous temple, Wat Phra Singh, Rachamankha offers a unique location and experience."

Fodor's "Most of the rooms, all furnished with Lanna or Chinese antiques, are set along green lawns planted with tall palms and fragrant frangipani." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "Rachamankha hotel brings Ancient Chiang Mai to life with the precise mix of modern luxuries and stylish accents honouring the area's rich hitstory." Full review
Lonely Planet "The encore effort by architect Ong-ard Satrabhandu to Tamarind Village, Rachamankha imitates an ancient monastery in Lampang." Full review
