Cross Chiang Mai Riverside

CROSS Chiang Mai Riverside sits on the quiet east bank of the Ping River, just beyond the old city walls of what was once the Lanna capital. The low-rise buildings borrow from Lanna tradition while holding to a contemporary line, and hundred-year-old tamarind trees soften the architecture and throw shade across the grounds.

The low-rise buildings borrow from Lanna tradition while holding to a contemporary line, and hundred-year-old tamarind trees soften the architecture and throw shade across the grounds. Twenty-nine suites make up the whole of it, ranging widely in size, most of them turned toward the water, with a pair that open onto their own private pools. The Oxygen Dining Room serves contemporary cooking, while The Library bar and cafe keeps a more relaxed register with its cocktails and wine list. There is a fibre optic-lit infinity pool, a gym, and a rooftop bar looking out over the river. Chiang Mai's centre and its airport are each roughly ten minutes' drive, close enough to the city yet held apart from it.
