Top 5-Star Hotels in Chiang Rai

I stayed at The Riverie by Katathani for a night and I was very impressed by the hotel. The location is great, right by the Kok River and with a stunning view of the mountains. The hotel is beautifully decorated with Lanna style and golden motifs. The room was spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. I especially loved the balcony where I could enjoy the river view and the fresh air. The breakfast was amazing, with a variety of dishes and a different Northern Thai food every day. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and they always greeted me with a smile. The hotel also has a large pool, a fitness center, and three restaurants to choose from. I highly recommend The Peak, a romantic rooftop restaurant with a 180-degree view of Chiang Rai. The food and wine were delicious and the service was excellent. The Riverie by Katathani is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Chiang Rai. I would definitely come back again.

I stayed here a few times before and love it here. I am happy to see that they can make it looks as good as what I have in my memories, after the big floods. The river may not be the most beautiful river but the landscapes of the hotel gave a very good complement to it. Breakfast was very good, as always.

The hotel was really nice and clean. The room was really nice. The staff was also friendly and helpful. They have a bike that you can borrow to ride around the area.

Chainarai Riverside Recreation Centre is an underrated 5 Star hotel which will blow your mind! The hotel is huge with vast grounds, multiple parking lots, and lush tropical greenery. Located beside the Kok River, it is a grand architectural marvel of well appointed rooms, suitable for solo travelers, couples and families. The two bedroom suite has a King bed with bathtub, twin beds with rain shower, a living room, 3 TVs, 3 bathrooms, 3 ACs, ceiling high wardrobes, 3 huge balconies with full riverside views and amazingly firm comfortable beds. The building materials and fittings of the newly renovated hotel are of a quality that surpasses even 5 star hotels. The buffet breakfast is included in the room rates and has a generous menu to get your day started. The salad bar had the freshest vegetables I have ever eaten in any hotel....or restaurant. This hotel screams CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN...you can practically walk barefooted everywhere! For USD89/3,000 THB a night for the suite with breakfast (USD33/1,130 THB for Deluxe King), I'm wondering if they priced the room rates wrong, as other 5 star hotels would cost 2-3 times more...and their room size would not even be as big (112 sq m for the Suite, 39 sq m for King). For a peaceful and relaxing stay in Chiang Rai, Chainarai Riverside is the ultimate luxury getaway.

The hotel staff are friendly and helpful. Room is spacious and newly decorated. However, there was no hot water for shower on the 1st night, it got fixed on the 2nd day. The bathroom was smelly especially from the basin and toilet. There is no shower gel provided but only soap, you may need to prepare for yourself. Wifi for the room is only for 1 device.

I wasn't expecting much based upon the price I paid and having never heard of it. Whoa. From being greeted at the lobby, receiving a lovely welcome drink along with fast and efficient check in, I was wondering if I was in the right place. I was thoroughly impressed. Upon entry into my room I was again surprised. The room was much larger than the pictures let on. The doorman was great and we ended up running into each other one night at a pub and had a few laughs. Next came breakfast which was perfect. Had something for everyone. The Sann will now be my hotel of choice in the CR area for future trips. Thank you to the wonderful staff for making the trip memorable.

Very good hotel. Super quality price, excellent breakfast and a adorable staff. We spent two nights there. The staff is very available and very listening. Breakfast is extensive and the dishes are delicious

The hotel room was nice, and staff were extremely friendly. You would definitely need transportation from and to the hotel. There isn’t much around. The gym was good, older equipment but still good.

La Casa Italian Restaurant at The Legend Hotel in Chiang Rai ... This isn't my first revue of this establishment, as my previous visit with my wife about 2 years ago was so disappointing, and I vowed to never go back. ( My background is in the Hospitality Industry, in various roles but mainly as an Executive Chef.) Well, NEVER say never! Most recently I was extremely surprised when I received an email from the General Manager. Apparently he has been working at the resort for about 9 months and was going through some old reviews and came across my scathing review. I must say, I was intrigued, so upon reading his email he had mentioned that he was very interested in having my wife and I come and give the establishment another try. This sort of thing just doesn't happen here in Thailand. So needless to say we went back last Friday night and boy were we impressed! The service was impecable as well as the food. We ordered the Beef Carpaccio, it was heavenly. Our mains were a Roasted Lamb Shank with creamy polenta and a medley of garden fresh vegetables. The second dish was a Veal Marsala served with creamy mash potato, and garden vegetables. For dessert we enjoyed Banana Fritters with ice cream and a wonderful Panna Cotta. All through the evening the service was second to none and was such a momentus evening that we have since vowed to return again soon. What really impressed me wastheoriginal contact made by the General Manager (Eric) and his genuine demeanor. He actually really cares about his client and wants to make sure that their experience is better than their expectation. Thank you Eric for your loveof our industry and for giving stellar service.

Excellent hotel, with amazing staff in great location, what’s more to be said, this the second time I’ve stayed here and although, nothing has really changed, because they are now busier, they have taken more staff on and they are all wonderful, all try there hardest to help and take care, my room 122, not the best, near the road and above restaurant, it was spotless and well maintained, the staff arranged a tour for us of our choice of sites to visit and for 3 of us it was good value. The hotel location is excellent near the clock tower and night market and some good places to eat nearby.
