This lovely property, a city escape just outside of town, is set on landscaped grounds and gardens that include hundred-year-old trees. While the upscale hotel is located in a rather unappealing industrial-like area off the ring road and not within walking distance of central Chiang Mai, it is quiet, and once inside the gates, a world of its own. The spacious rooms are decked out in northern Thai Lanna style, have plenty of amenities, and have private balconies and terraces. The elongated pool here runs through the entire grounds, and the good restaurant and several atmospheric bars, along with a pampering spa, help make up for the lack of places to go in the neighborhood. The hotel also runs a free shuttle to the Night Bazaar and downtown.

Rimping Village is a small resort outside of the city center across the Ping River. It is quiet and intimate, with only 34 rooms, and staff were attentive during our visit. While the resort does not have facilities like a fitness center or spa, it does have a decent-sized pool out on a sunny terrace, and its restaurant sits in a leafy garden that's home to a century-old banyan tree and other tropical foliage. Big, attractive rooms have terra-cotta tile and dark wood furniture. Bicycles are available for guests to use, making the city center less than a 10-minute ride away.

The Yaang Come Village is a smallish boutique resort, featuring traditional Lan Na-style architecture and design. The upper-middle-range hotel features some of the most spacious rooms in Chiang Mai, and the higher-category rooms are beautifully furnished, with huge bathrooms and tubs, but all lack views. A pleasant, sunny swimming pool sits in the middle of the grounds and there's a small library adjacent to the resort's atmospheric restaurant. It's only a five- to 10-minute walk to the Night Market and the city center, yet the hotel feels quiet and secluded. It's a good choice for those wanting a peaceful and comfortable spot close to the city center, although it is quite pricey compared to similarly rated hotels in the area.

The Anantara Chiang Mai Resort & Spa is an 84-room boutique resort located right on the Ping River and just minutes on foot from downtown Chiang Mai. This luxury property has some of the most elegant rooms and suites in Chiang Mai, all with private terraces, wood floors, rain showers, and freestanding bathtubs -- plus free breakfast and Wi-Fi. Features include a riverside swimming pool, spacious gym, and spa with private treatment rooms. Stylish lounges complement the tranquil grounds, while the restaurant serves Thai and Indian cuisine. However, there can be some street noise at night. This is one of Chiang Mai's most refined stays, and as such is one of the priciest properties here; the splurge is generally worthwhile, but guests seeking a less expensive, more remote stay could try Siripanna Villa Resort & Spa, which has its own rice field.
