Makka Hotel - Chiang Mai

Boutique hotel in Chiang Mai Old City rooted in Buddhist principles of letting go

Design and Amenities

Makka Hotel Chiang Mai asks guests to remove their shoes before entering the room corridors, placing them in wooden lockers near reception-a practice inspired by Buddhist temple etiquette. The property surrounds itself with a tropical garden, a koi pond in the reception area, and a library on the second floor stocked with books on Buddha's teachings. Safety features include fire extinguishers, a security alarm, CCTV in common areas and outside the property.

On-Site Dining

The on-site restaurant serves an à la carte menu of Thai cuisine with vegan options, available from 7:00 to 12:00 noon for breakfast. Guests choose from a set menu that includes Thai, Chinese, and Western-style dishes, all prepared fresh. No buffet is offered; instead, the breakfast staff delivers curated plates directly to the table.

Accommodations

Rooms at Makka Hotel come in Superior Double or Twin, Deluxe Double or Twin, and Suite categories, all air-conditioned with a flat-screen TV and refrigerator. Each room has a private bathroom with complimentary toiletries and shower facilities. All accommodations are non-smoking, and the hotel provides key access for security.

Location

Makka Chiang Mai sits on a quiet lane inside the old city, a 5-minute walk from Walking Street and Wat Chedi Luang Temple. Chiang Mai International Airport and Central Airport Plaza Shopping Mall are both a 15-minute ride away. The hotel's tour desk organizes guided city tours to nearby attractions like the Chiang Mai City Arts & Cultural Center.
