DE LUXE BOUTIQUE AND ROOFTOP

4.6(71 reviews)

Tucked down a soi off the main road in the Si Phum area of Chiang Mai's old city, De Luxe Boutique and Rooftop offers a calm retreat with easy access to the city's restaurants, convenience stores, and key attractions. The location suits travellers who prefer to explore on foot or by moped taxi, with popular dining and amenities within comfortable walking distance.

The hotel's standout feature is its rooftop pool, a welcome respite in Chiang Mai's heat, alongside clean and comfortable rooms. What consistently earns praise from guests, however, is the quality of the staff — particularly a team member named Nud, who is mentioned repeatedly for going well beyond standard hospitality. Guests describe being welcomed with maps, handwritten local recommendations, and even a prepared takeaway breakfast arranged the evening before an early departure. Solo female travellers have noted feeling particularly safe and well looked after during their stay.

Prospective guests should be aware that while there is a rooftop pool, there is no rooftop bar or food and beverage service in that space, so those hoping for a full rooftop experience may want to factor that in. Booking directly through the hotel's website is worth considering, and given the small boutique scale of the property, reserving well in advance is advisable, especially during Chiang Mai's busy cool-season months from November through February.

We had a great stay here :) top best thing to me was how great Nud took care of us. As soon as we arrived she sat down with us and pulled out a map which she gave us, and wrote the names and locations of restaurants and other things we’d thought of visiting. She later booked our boxing fight tickets, our cooking class, and organized our moped :) super helpful and responsive! The room and bathroom were clean and they cleaned it every day. Ac worked great! We swam in the pool and enjoyed it as well. Great price and we would stay here again. Thanks Nud!

Perfect Hotel to stay in Chiang Mai. Nud the housekeeper was very friendly and supportive. Even for our early check out she prepared a breakfast for take away in the evening before. Clean rooms, great location and friendly. We would recommend this hotel to everyone. We loved it!

First of all: we received an extremely warm and friendly welcome. The lady at reception was very nice and helpful. The rooftop pool is a nice gimmick, but there is no rooftop bar or anything, just a few chairs with an okay view. The hotel is located in a courtyard, but directly below the hotel is a weed shop (the only shop there, of all places) in front of which people sit, talk loudly and smoke weed, the smell of which drifts in through the open window. At least during our one night's stay, however, it was quiet in the early evening. The rooms are very clean and spacious, the bed is very comfortable. But there are two major problems: the layout is very unfavourable. There is a room that is set up as a walk-in wardrobe. I don't know how two people could use it properly. It would be better if the rooms were larger and had a sofa or two armchairs. The biggest drawback is the light: during the day (when you're usually not in the hotel anyway), it's bright in the sleeping area due to the large windows. In the evening, however, it gets bad. All the lamps are cool white. The room then has the charm of somewhere between a butcher's shop and a warehouse. It's even worse in the bathroom. The light there is also cold and has low lumen output. This may sound trivial, but it means that you can hardly see anything especially when you want to do your hair, make-up or anything else in front of the mirror. In addition, there is no light above the sink and mirror, which means that the light comes from behind and your face is completely in shadow. Please correct this, it's so unnecessarily annoying. It should also be noted that there is no reception after 5 p.m., no lobby, no breakfast room or lounge area in the building.
