Hotels with Bars 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.

Spacious room and nice hotel ground. Some hardwares in the room are showing signs of age and room temperature is on the warmer side. It’s a decent hotel but lacking warmth in other hotel I visited. The typical Marriott hotel. Had the best latte at Latest Recipe. Thai dinner was good with attentive service. Afternoon tea at Favola with river view was pretty and lots of food.

The Heritage Chiang Rai Hotel and Convention is a fantastic place to stay. The rooms are spacious, and the hotel offers ample parking for cars and motorcycles. Its location near the town center makes it convenient for exploring, yet it remains calm and quiet, perfect for a relaxing stay. The breakfast buffet is delicious and offers great variety, adding excellent value to the overall experience. Definitely worth the money paid for such comfort and quality service!

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.

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.

This small boutique hotel in Chiang Rai is perfectly placed in the city and makes getting anywhere so accessible. From our arrival to our departure the staff were professional, courteous, friendly and accommodating. They were first rate and added to an amazing stay here. The pool area was fabulous and after a day of sightseeing was a welcome respite from the heat. The restaurant was also fabulous from the morning offerings for breakfast to lunch and the dinner menu it was a fabulous place to have a meal either out in the courtyard overlooking the pool or inside. Again with top notch staff. The room was simply fabulous as well. We had a junior suite room and it was spacious, comfortable and the decor was Thai traditional but the bathroom was gorgeously created with stunning tiles that just added another dimension. As mentioned the staff were so helpful at every turn and even offered on a number of occasions to drop as the night markets which was so kind and not part of the advertised service , even though they do offer a shuttle to the airport on the day of departure. This was a fantastic stay and I cannot rate it highly enough, if you are going to Chiang Rai please stay here I am sure you will not be disappointed.

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.

The hotel environment is very good, the staff attitude is very good. Anyone who doesn't know Thai the hotel staffs will help. Breakfast was delicious. The swimming pool is clean. The hotel suit for Travelers on vacation, on business trip and those who want a quiet place to relax. I highly recommend this Hotel. 酒店环境特别好，服务员态度很好。不懂泰语都会帮忙。早餐很好吃。游泳池很干净。很适合出差，旅游，放松都可以。我强烈给大家推荐一下这个酒店。 Le cadre de l’hôtel est excellent et l’attitude du personnel est très agréable. Pour toute personne ne connaissant pas la langue thaï, le personnel de l’hôtel vous aidera. Le petit déjeuner était délicieux. La piscine est propre. L’hôtel est idéal pour les vacances, les voyageurs d’affaires et ceux qui veulent un endroit calme et relaxant. Je recommande vivement cet hôtel.

Excellent location, quiet and yet a short walk from everything: bars, restaurants and massage shops surround the hotel and the night market, Saturday market, clock tower and bus station are all very near. The breakfast buffet was decent for a hotel in this price range. The hotel itself is like stepping back in time. It would have been very classy 35 years ago, but now the elegance has aged. The control panel next to the bed no longer turns on music and you have to work out what the other controls do. (e.g. the switch marked ”TV” operates the bedside light.) Rooms are large with a decent bathroom with a proper bath. I stayed there twice, in a Superior room (the lowest level) and then a Deluxe. While the Deluxe had a few tiny improvements in fittings, the main advantage was having a decent number of power points. The Superior had no spare power points whatsoever in the bedroom, just one in the bathroom. Fortunately, the maid was able to give me a power board. (She didn't know much English, so I showed her a picture of one on my phone and she raced off and got one.) Then I was able to plug in everything via the socket the TV uses. The pool is strange, cold and stark, surrounded by concrete walls and situated on the ground floor. It's not even obvious how to get to it! There's one entrance through the restaurant and another from the second floor down a big flight of stairs. The only real negative is the wifi. It's atrocious and extremely weird. I had multiple devices connect to the same access point, yet get directed by DHCP to different routers! My phone always connected to one that worked (slowly), but my other devices would mostly get connected to one that didn't do anything. Of course, the front desk staff had no clue what was going on. Broadband on your phone in Thailand is cheap (150 baht/month for AIS 4G) so it's not the big deal it once would have been.

A shame as this resort could be so much better and had the potential. To summarise: -the resort is tired and in need of some investment and a change of ways. No great welcome on arrival. We booked a room and paid double the room price on Agoda for an extra bed, which wasn't in our room when we arrived and checked in. To be fair, this got sorted quickly by an extra bed in our room. We had no breakfast included which we weren't expecting but the restaurant looked dead both in the mornings and evenings. No atmosphere onsite. We didn't feel like eating at the hotel. So many great options in central Chiang Rai. We used the pool a few times during our stay. Self service for towels. Even a fridge with drinks - not sure how that worked but no one was around to ask. No spa available. This is definitely not a spa hotel! Our shower was broken but we didn't bother complaining. Just used it as it was. Rooms were basic but comfortable. Location was OK. Outside of Chiang Rai but not a problem with grab / bolt taxis. Easy to get hold of. I would not recommend this hotel. I'm sure you'll be able to find better value hotels around.
