Hotels with Bars in Chiang Rai

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 hotel is good value for money , kids pool and water park good for children . Restaurant food cheap and good quality . I have a picky toddler who only drinks freshly squeezed orange juice . Only problem is that it’s impossible to order a freshly squeezed orange juice . They only have orange juice from a bottle and they tell you it’s fresh , but it’s not , I ordered again then they give me orange fruit not juice . So if you have orange why you cannnot squeeze the juice .

Very nice hotel located in Chiang Rai Wide selection of breakfast Friendly, Courteous and helpful staffs Located not far from town and attractions within 15-20mins from town and blue temple Will definitely stay here again during my next visit

The price of this hotel is too high! It is not far from Lan, Black Temple, and the city center. During the stay, except for our 3 Chinese, all foreigners. The bed in the room was super big and very comfortable. The room is spacious, comfortable and clean. The whole hotel is like living in a garden, very close to the swimming pool, and the water quality is very clean. The restaurant only has breakfast, no dinner. It's only 360rmb per night, it's really delicious!

Almost everything here is great. Lovely grounds, clear pool and everything is exceptionally clean. Breakfast is very good and staff are pleasant. The only downside is location and even that is not a huge issue. Walking to the centre would take about 15-20 minutes but there are also a number of shuttle times. These are mostly morning and evening with a gap in the middle. As I say, this may not be an issue for everyone but overall this is very good value.

The hotel is clean, smells good, the guests are foreigners. Various food I recommend not staying at all. Newly renovated but very good.

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.

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.

My partner and I had an amazing stay at Phowadol resort and Spa. The staff were friendly and very accommodating. We arrived 5 hours before check in, hoping to just drop our bags off, but they got a room sorted for us within the hour. The pool was well maintained and the gym had all the equipment you’d need with air conditioning. The pictures don’t do the rooms justice, we were in a tree house with a wrap around balcony. Not an issue for us, as we rented moped’s from the resort, but it’s a 10 minute drive to the town centre.

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.
