Rachamankha Hotel Chiang Mai

Hotel Facilities and Features

The Rachmankha is much more than just a hotel. It is an experience. For the owners, who are two of Thailand's most famous designers and architects, it is a creation of love and a treasury of Lanna art and Chinese antiquities, which can be found in every guest room and throughout the hotel.

The combination of Lanna art and interior design, and the temple style architecture has created a haven of peace - the kind that penetrates you and touches you heart. This is an ideal hotel for people in need of rest and relaxation.

The design of the hotel is taken from the viharn (chapel) of one of Thailand's most beautiful of temples, Wat Phra That Lampang Luang in Lampang province, which is why the hotel look and feels like a temple. The hotel is planned according to ancient principles of Chinese architecture because the architecture and interior designer want the hotel to reflect the Chinese roots of Thai architecture.

The interior design is based on northern Thai Lanna culture, which is a of Chinese, Dai, Laotian, Lua, and Burmese culture. This accounts for why the hotel is full of Chinese antiques and exemplifies the art and architectural features of all of these cultures. Altogether, the hotel is a cultural masterpiece.
