Charming boutique hotel set in the heart of Chiang Mai

Set in the heart of historic Chiang Mai, the chic Tamarind Village is a charming boutique hotel designed in the traditional Lanna style. With just 42 rooms the hotel offers intimate settings for a city break and guest rooms which are simply yet elegantly furnished. All rooms overlook the courtyard gardens and the Tamarind tree which lies at the heart of the complex and from which the hotel has taken its name. Enjoy a selection of classic & northern Thai dishes at the Ruen Tamarind Restaurant, relax in the swimming pool and enjoy a treatment at the spa for a rejuvinating stay.

The Tamarind Village is an oasis of calm and tranquillity, and is a great base from which to explore Chiang Mai being within a short walk of the night bazaars and riverside restaurants. In addition, nearby attractions include temples and the Tha Pae Gate.

Holiday

Whitley Bay, United Kingdom

Visited the tamarind Village hotel for three nights in June. Hotel is so nice but in every aspect. The setting , staff, food and service is excellent. Beautiful place well positioned in the centre whilst also beautiful and very quiet and tranquil . Booked a day trip out to Doi Inthanon Park through the hotel and Kandy out guide was first class. I would stay here again without a doubt !

A boutique hotel

Tamarind village is a boutique hotel with a majestic tamarind tree in the courtyard. It is a small hotel, with lobby, restaurant and pool the only public area for hotel quests. I stayed for 2 days in Lanna room on the 2nd floor of the building. Clean room with northern Thai Lanna furnished. The room smaller than what expected, especially toilet and shower room area (lower ceiling, if you taller than 180cm your head probably can hit the ceiling) / not sure if the other room are the same. Not really like the room design and lay out / small window and feel pike in a cocoon. Breakfast was delicious, i like the traditional northern style cuisine option. Staff was polite and friendly.

When 6 nights turns into 8

Melbourne, Australia

Tamarind Village is the perfect choice for a trip to Chiang Mai. It’s centrally located, boutique sized, the service is impeccable, the design blends Lanna style with modern touches, and the whole site sits around an impressive, seemingly all-knowing, 200-year-old Tamarind tree. Our recommendation would be to go for the deluxe room at a minimum, they are set upstairs on the second level, offering a little more privacy, a small seated space away from the walkway thoroughfare, and more access to natural light. Saying goodbye to that bed was tough. And that is coming from somebody with a pretty shabby ‘desk back’. Large, comfortable, huge pillows, epic hotel sheet tucking skills. Good sized, beautifully decorated bathroom with it’s very own lampshade and spa quality shower products. The pool is a nice size, though the water does tend to warm up to bath levels by the afternoon. Sunloungers are plentiful, though we would’ve liked some more areas to relax, and often eyed off the grassed area around the tamarind tree as a great site for a daybed or two. It also would’ve been super handy to have a small fitness area on site, nothing Globo Gym style, just a small space with 1or 2 cardio options some free weights and a place to stretch it out. We paid to use the dinky fitness centre at a 3-star gym down the road which did the job, but would’ve been better in Tamarind style. The food in the restaurant was delicious, but didn’t really translate at breakfast -- would be great to see some of that menu variety extend to the morning menu for those foodie travellers that like to indulge in as many local dishes as possible whilst overseas. On food -- the hotel is walking distance to night street food markets at both the North and South gates, the stewed beef noodle with a side of morning glory at Restaurant Kaow Tom (a 3 minute walk down Rachadamnoen Rd) is a lunch date worthy of multiple visits, and the coffee at Akha Ama (also on Rachadmnoen) will ruin you for life.. Even for a nose in the air coffee snob from Melbourne. We were booked in for 6 nights but ended up changin our plans so we could stay for 8. Tamarind is the perfect hotel for those who don’t like hotels, and is ta great base to explore the old city and beyond.
