At Pingnakorn Riverside
A 4-star hotel on Charoenrat Road on the Wat Ket side, opened in 2017 and renovated in 2024. Rooms are fairly large and clean, with an outdoor pool and a garden along the Ping River. Reviews praise the breakfast and the quiet riverside location, and you can walk the river path to the cafes and restaurants around Wat Ket. It's the best value pick in the area if you want a spacious room with a garden view.
Sala Lanna Chiang Mai
A 15-room boutique hotel at 49 Charoenrat Road, right on the river on the Wat Ket bank. Its highlight is a 360-degree rooftop bar that's lovely at sunset, plus the riverside Wanlamun Rim Nam restaurant. The design blends Lanna and modern touches, and there's a rooftop pool. A good match for couples or anyone who prefers a small, private-feeling stay, and it's walkable to the Night Bazaar.
Cross Chiang Mai Riverside
A 29-room, 5-star resort at 369/1 Charoenrat Road on the Wat Ket bank, set along the Ping River among century-old tamarind trees and green gardens. Rooms are contemporary, with a pool and a spa (formerly branded X2 Chiang Mai Riverside). It suits travellers who want an upscale resort that isn't too big, with a focus on calm and private riverside space.
Ping Nakara Boutique Hotel & Spa
A 19-room boutique hotel in early-1900s colonial style at 135/9 Charoen Prathet Road, on the side closer to the Night Bazaar. The fretwork woodwork and decor are what guests mention most, and there's the riverside Nakara Spa and a rooftop terrace. It's about a 5-minute walk to the Night Bazaar, ideal for travellers who like a design-led stay with a period atmosphere.
RatiLanna Riverside Spa Resort
A 97-room, 5-star resort on Charoen Prathet Road along the Ping River, with spacious Lanna-style rooms, a riverside pool, a spa, and a river-facing restaurant. It's within walking distance of the Night Bazaar. Being larger than the boutiques in this area, it works well for families or anyone who wants full facilities in one place along with a river view.
Anantara Chiang Mai Resort
A luxury resort on the Ping River at 123 Charoen Prathet Road, with clean modern-minimalist design, a riverside pool, a spa, and a river-facing restaurant that guests rate highly, especially the afternoon tea in the old colonial house. It's close to the Night Bazaar and Nawarat Bridge, suited to travellers who want high-end service and a riverside setting in the centre of town.
137 Pillars House
An all-suite hotel on a quiet lane near Wat Ket, close to Charoenrat Road. The property pairs a historic teak house with contemporary wings, and every room is a spacious suite with a private balcony. There's a pool, a spa, and a place in the MICHELIN Guide. It's the priciest option in the area, best for a special occasion or for travellers who want the hotel itself to be the destination.
