Chiang Mai, a city in the north of Thailand, is a great place for a short break for any family. The climate here is cooler and during the high season it is not as hot as other parts of Thailand. The backpackers scene is smaller and there are not many loud parties in any area of Chiang Mai. It is a pleasant, family-friendly city with rich culture.
If you are looking for accommodation in Chiang Mai, we chose a few hotels for you to look at. Some of them are outside of the city, set in the countryside, some are in the centre of Chiang Mai, close to all attractions, but hidden away enough to provide you with peace and quiet. Have a look and choose an ideal accommodation in Chiang Mai for you and your family.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to family-friendly amenities and activities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on December 17, 2024.
