Directions

Why go, and how to do it well

Sitting along the banks of the Ping River on Changklan Road, RatiLanna Riverside Spa Resort is a full-service resort hotel that draws on the ancient Lanna cultural traditions of northern Thailand. The property is distinguished by its all-wood furnishings, jasmine-scented arrival experience, and décor that pays genuine homage to Chiang Mai's historic identity — creating an atmosphere that feels both rooted in place and carefully considered. Guests have access to spa and massage facilities, a restaurant, bar, and fitness amenities, making it a self-contained retreat that suits both leisure travelers and those visiting for dedicated wellness time.

Rooms benefit from riverside views, and the staff — many of whom have been with the property for a decade or more — are consistently noted for attentive, personal service. The combination of elegant surroundings and genuine hospitality makes it a popular choice for honeymooners and special occasions, though the setting suits any traveler looking for a calm base with character in central Chiang Mai.

Reviews from Google

We had an absolutely incredible time at the RatiLana. From beginning to end we felt taken care of and had nothing to worry about except for what to pick from the restaurant's menu! As this was our honeymoon, they graciously upgraded us to an executive suite upon arrival and gave us a room experience we never would have gotten on our own. The room was beyond clean and spacious with a fantastic balcony overlooking the peaceful pool. Dining by the river was also a great experience, soaking up the view and enjoying the occassional lizard scampering on the exterior. We also deeply appreciated when one of us fell ill, the staff were able to suggest a nearby hospital that often cared for international travelers, reducing our stress in interacting with an unfamliar medical system. A simple check in from that same staff member the following morning showed a level of care and thoughtfulness that we deeply appreciated as well. If and when we return to Chiang Mai, the RatiLana is at the top of our list of places to stay at.

We had the best stay here as a part of our honeymoon. Every interaction we had with staff was so kind. We particularly loved the folks at breakfast. We were lucky enough to receive a room upgrade and our room was beautiful. The pool area was gorgeous and the most relaxing place to hang out after a morning of exploring. While a little bit off the beaten path, there are some great food options within walking distance and getting a car via Grab was easy and affordable! I wish I had taken more pictures of the space, but do have a couple photos of lovely breakfast.

Excellent 5star hotel in the heart of Chiangmai. Amazing views, settings, decor. A homage to ancient Lanna traditions with all wood furnishings. Most staff have been there 10yrs-plus with minimal labor turnover, even through COVID. Great for weddings too!

Tips for Visiting Wellness & Spas

Book Longer Sessions

A 60-minute massage is fine, but 90 or 120 minutes allows the therapist to work thoroughly. The price difference is often only 200–400 THB for an extra hour — worth it for a deeper, more relaxing experience.

Try a Herbal Compress

Add a herbal compress (luk pra kob) to your massage — steamed bundles of lemongrass, turmeric, and camphor pressed into sore muscles. It's deeply therapeutic and uniquely Thai. Usually just 200–300 THB extra.
