Tri Yaan Na Ros Colonial House Hotel

Our room at the Tri Yaan Na Ros Colonial House Hotel.

July 2006

 
With just eight rooms, the Tri Yaan Na Ros (pronounced Tree Yah Na-rote) seems to fit the "boutique hotel" label perfectly. Inside and out, the property has been designed in the style of the late nineteenth century, when Chiang Mai was being 're-discovered' and re-populated after being emptied out by the Burmese for many years. Floors and most furniture are made of wood, with many accents from the local silver shops. Every room has photographs of Chiang Mai dating from the 1950s. There are some concessions to modern living, like air conditioning, hot water and color televisions.

There is a small swimming pool, although it's more of an over-sized jacuzzi. Breakfast is served in a small restaurant that is part of the hotel. Upstairs in the restaurant building is a small library with a couple of computers for using the internet. The hotel also rents bicycles for touring around Chiang Mai.

Hotel facilities include a small pool, restaurant, internet access, bicycle rental and free airport pick-up.

Rooms feature air conditioning, mini-bar, color television with a few international channels, combination safe and hair dryer.

Pluses: Quiet neighborhood, distinctive design, small family style hotel, friendly and helpful staff.

Minuses: Few restaurants or other night-life within easy walking distance; rooms may be too small for a long stay.

Tri Yaan Na Ros Colonial House Hotel

The Tri Yaan Na Ros Colonial House hotel is located in the old city area, lying in a pleasant location in Chiang Mai. Travellers can tour around the city conveniently from where the hotel is positioned. Chiang Mai International Airport is situated roughly 2 km away. The building's character combines influences of Chinese housing, the lifestyle of the native Lanna people and Continental architecture. All building materials are from the native province of Chiang Mai so as to be in perfect keeping with the climate and also to retain a true sense of Lanna history. Renovated in 2009, the hotel offers 24-hour reception and check-out service, a breakfast room, Internet access, laundry service and a car park. The hotel rooms are decorated in Lanna-Colonial style, popular with Chiang Mai bureaucrats of that era. The decorative items are made out of silverware and lacquer ware of Baan Wualai. The en suite bathrooms are fitted with shower, bath and hairdryer, and the bedrooms are furnished with either double or king-size beds. Standard in-room amenities include a direct dial telephone, satellite/cable TV with 60 channels, Internet access, safe, minibar, tea and coffee making facilities and individually regulated air conditioning. The hotel features bicycles, an outdoor swimming pool and Internet room. The hotel has only American breakfast. From Chiang Mai Airport, head straight to the motorway, going under the overpass. Then follow the road all the way until reaching a big intersection. Turn left and go straight through 3 intersections. Turn right and follow the road. The hotel will be seen on the left-hand side.
