Welcome to Chez Nij Ryokan Onsen Chiang Mai where French sophistication, Japanese mindfulness, and Thai warmth create a refined retreat. We invite you to experience the harmony and comfort inspired by our heritage.
All most 60 years , commissioned by Chiang Mai’s longest-serving governor, this historic Lanna-style residence was built to host dignitaries and diplomats, blending cultural heritage with international elegance
Inspired by the serene elegance of Japanese ryokan and onsen culture, the warmth of refined Thai hospitality, and the timeless sophistication of French luxury, our hotel offers a truly unique and harmonious experience for every guest.
The brand name “Chez Nij” is inspired by the French word “Chez,” meaning “at the home of,” combined with “Nij,” a name that reflects the refined elegance of Japanese culture. Together, they embody the essence of a luxury boutique hotel
"The hotel has a great environment, provides parking, and is close to Nimman Road. It's a hotel converted from a private villa. The hotel receptionists were very welcoming and patiently explained the hotel's facilities and services. The restaurant is also very unique; we ordered some of their food on our first day. I highly recommend the Thai chef's basil rice, it was delicious! Towards the end of the meal, the chef even gave us complimentary orange juice. The hotel has eight rooms in total, and the rooms on the first floor have direct access to the hot springs. The only drawback is that the bathroom is a bit cramped, and the room's aisle is quite narrow. On our first day, we were upgraded to an executive suite. The lounge chairs in the room were very comfortable, and the room was spacious enough for families with children. The toiletries were also thoughtfully provided, including a loofah and a bath towel. The shower gel and shampoo were also good, with a unique fragrance, unlike the standard amenities of chain hotels. The hotel garden is beautiful and suitable for children to play in. The hotel also has cats. Families who like cats would also find it a good choice. Many of the decorations at the reception have a vintage feel, some of them possibly being antiques. Those with children should keep a close eye on them, as the hotel is quite new. It was the rainy season, so drying clothes was a bit inconvenient. It would have been perfect if the hotel offered laundry service. There were no mosquitoes in the room, which made it a pretty good hotel. I hope they maintain this and continue to improve! I would definitely come back and recommend it to my friends if I have the chance."
