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

"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."

"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."
