Sunday Villa Sirilanna Hotel is a 4-star property set in a convenient corner of Chiang Mai's Old Town, close to Chiang Mai Gate and within a short walk of Tha Pae Gate and the Sunday Walking Street. Guests rate its location an outstanding 9.4, with the moated old town's gates, temples and night markets all within easy reach on foot.
The style is classic Northern Thai, with wood-carving furnishings and Lanna decor running through the rooms. Every room is air-conditioned with a flat-screen TV, minibar and a spacious bathroom with a spa bath, and free Wi-Fi reaches the whole property. Sizes range from 41 to 58 m² across six room types, most with a private balcony.
Beyond the rooms there is an outdoor swimming pool for cooling off after sightseeing, the on-site Sirilanna Restaurant serving Asian and international dishes, and a quiet library to unwind in. A 24-hour front desk, airport shuttle, tour desk and room service round out a stay built around the old town.
Sunday Villa Sirilanna Hotel offers six room types, all decorated in traditional Lanna style with wood-carving furnishings, and all with a spacious bathroom with a spa bath. Every room is air-conditioned and fitted with a flat-screen TV, a minibar and free Wi-Fi, with slippers, bathrobes and free toiletries provided.
What sets them apart is space and outlook. The Luxury and King rooms come with a private balcony and terrace looking over the pool and city, while the Lanna suites trade the view for extra floor space, up to 58 m². Beds range from a super-king to twin singles, and the Executive Triple sleeps three.
Sunday Villa Sirilanna Hotel pairs its Lanna-style rooms with a solid set of services. The leisure side stands out: an outdoor swimming pool with pool towels and a sun terrace lets you cool down between temple visits, and a spa bath comes as standard in every room. The on-site Sirilanna Restaurant serves Asian and international dishes, and there's a quiet library for downtime.
A 24-hour front desk handles arrivals around the clock, backed by an airport shuttle, a tour desk, luggage storage and express check-in and check-out. Rooms are air-conditioned and non-smoking, with free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a refrigerator and an electric kettle. Daily housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, a lift and 24-hour security round out the everyday comforts.
Sunday Villa Sirilanna Hotel sits on Ratchapakinai Road in the Phra Sing quarter, the southern part of Chiang Mai's Old Town — a roughly 1.5 km square ringed by a wide moat and the remains of ancient walls, founded in 1296 as the capital of the Lanna kingdom. Guests rate the position an outstanding 9.4, with Chiang Mai Gate just around the corner.
Chiang Mai International Airport lies about 2.5 km to the south-west, usually a 6-minute drive by taxi or by songthaew, the shared red trucks that work like buses; the hotel also runs an airport shuttle and a tour desk that can arrange transfers. Chiang Mai Railway Station is around 2.8 km east across the Ping River, and the Arcade Bus Terminal about 3.3 km north-east, both a short taxi ride away. Inside the moat the old town is compact and best explored on foot, so a car is more hindrance than help within the walls.
You are within a short walk of Tha Pae Gate, the eastern gate that is the symbol of the city and the launch point of the Sunday Walking Street — the pedestrian market that fills Ratchadamnoen Road every Sunday from around 17:00 to 22:30 with handicrafts, textiles and street food such as Khao Soi; the crowds peak around 19:00, so come early. Chiang Mai Gate, right by the hotel, hosts its own lively food market, while the Three Kings Monument and the City Arts & Cultural Centre sit a few minutes north. The old town's great temples, Wat Chedi Luang and Wat Phra Singh, are an easy stroll away. The best months are November to February, when the air is cool and clear and the Yi Peng lantern festival lights up November; avoid March and April, when heat and farmland-burning haze settle over the valley.
