About

Lanna Dusita Riverside Boutique Resort

Lanna Dusita Riverside Boutique Resort sits on the banks of the Ping River, a short ride from Chiang Mai's old town. The 30 rooms are spread across a garden property with a duck pond, a pool, and a restaurant overlooking the water. The setting is quiet and green, a deliberate contrast to the city's bustle.

The hotel runs a complimentary boat and van service into the city in the mornings and evenings, and staff can arrange car hire, taxis, and sightseeing trips. Rooms are simple but well-designed, many with balconies facing either the garden or the river. On-site dining covers breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a happy hour and snack bar for lighter moments.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Outside the city centre — The resort is about 25 minutes from the centre, and there are no shops or restaurants nearby. You'll need the shuttle, a car, or a tuk tuk to get around.
  • Return transport not always arranged — The free morning boat and evening shuttle take you into town, but guests note they need to find their own way back.
  • Basic rooms and minor maintenance issues — Rooms are described as basic in design, and some guests noted a damp smell or intermittent hot water.
  • Check-in closes at 20:00 — The reception window runs from 14:00 to 20:00, so late arrivals need to plan ahead.

“A wonderful stay at a riverside resort. Peaceful location away from the noise, comfortable rooms, and beautiful interiors. The staff were the highlight—friendly and welcoming. Minor issues like a damp smell and occasional hot water problems didn't spoil the experience. Food was good but a bit pricey.”

“Although outside town, the hotel provides a boat and van service morning and night. The boat is relaxing and offers gorgeous scenery along the Ping. The restaurant is great—recommend the tofu and cashew nuts—and you eat overlooking the river. Beautiful.”
