This new, 38-room beauty is still ironing out kinks with service and construction, but its charming setting on the bank of Mae Ping 20 minutes north of the city is reason enough for a visit. The design is a contemporary interpretation of the Lanna lifestyle, delivered in earthy tones, natural materials and furnishings handcrafted by local artisans.
Three room styles offer different colour schemes but similar understated elegance. There's also a spa, a tea lounge, a delicious restaurant, and a shuttle running four times daily to the hotel's sister property, Tamarind Village, in the old city.
