About

The Granary Resort - Chiang Mai

The Granary Resort is a small 3-star property of just nine houses, set along the banks of the Ping River. The grounds are meticulous, with gardens and a pool, and the architecture leans on traditional Thai teak houses with parquet floors and a sitting area. It is a deliberately low-key place, away from the bustle of central Chiang Mai, and the staff are repeatedly mentioned for going out of their way.

Breakfast is served daily and is regularly praised, with both Thai and Continental options. Guests also talk about the free bicycles and a shuttle service that make exploring the city easier, even though the resort sits a short taxi ride from the old town. The river setting brings a scenic calm that many reviews highlight as the main reason to book.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Away from the city center — The resort is located outside central Chiang Mai, so exploring the old town requires a taxi or the hotel's shuttle service.
  • Small scale, limited privacy — With only nine houses, the resort can feel crowded during peak times, as one guest noted around Christmas.
  • Check-in window is narrow — Guests must arrive between 14:00 and 20:00, which may be inconvenient for late flights or evening arrivals.
  • Poorly lit paths at night — One guest noted that paths around the gardens were poorly lit, which could pose a hazard after dark.
