What is a historic hotel like in Chiang Rai?
Historic hotels give guests the opportunity to stay in a place that’s been officially recognised with a historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can take the form of castles, palaces, grand homes or even old police stations, pubs, lodges or skyscrapers — as long as it’s of special interest. These types of hotels in Chiang Rai often preserve authentic elements such as period features or traditional architecture in their public spaces or guestrooms.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. The term “historic hotel” is more common in the U.S., while “heritage hotel” is often used in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to place more significance on the architecture and actual building. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it inspired the community.

Yes, every effort is made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features.
