Tamarind Village, Four-star hotel in the old city of Chiang Mai, Thailand
Tamarind Village is a four-star hotel inside the old walled city of Chiang Mai, in northern Thailand. The property is made up of low wooden buildings arranged around open courtyards and small gardens, with 41 rooms and 5 suites.
Chiang Mai was founded in the 13th century as the capital of the Lanna kingdom and is one of the oldest cities in northern Thailand. The hotel sits within those original city walls, occupying a spot that has long been at the center of urban life in the region.
The interiors and gardens carry details drawn from Lanna culture, the tradition of northern Thailand. Hand-carved wooden pieces and textiles made by local craftspeople connect the space to the hill tribe heritage of the region.
The hotel sits inside the old city, so guests can walk to nearby temples, markets, and historic walls without needing transport. There is an outdoor restaurant terrace and a pool for those looking to rest between outings.
The hotel maintains the Raya Curated Collection, a selection of handmade objects by local craftspeople that guests can see and buy on the property. This makes the stay a direct encounter with contemporary craft from northern Thailand, not just a visual display.
