Hotel Review

The Imperial River House Resort, Chiang Rai is a polished Chiang Rai hotel with a calm riverside setting on the banks of the Kok. The mood is more relaxed than flashy, with guests repeatedly praising the quiet atmosphere, friendly staff, and the sense of space around the property.

Rooms lean toward clean, classic comfort: fresh white walls, wooden floors, and straightforward furnishings, plus a 32-inch flat-screen satellite TV, tea and coffee setup, and bathroom toiletries. The room mix gives you a sensible spread of options, from Deluxe Double or Twin Room to Deluxe Double Room with River View and the Balcony River View Suite, so it works for solo travelers, couples, and anyone who wants to pay extra for the outlook. Guests specifically mention spacious rooms and strong river-and-pool views.

Breakfast is included, and the hotel’s FAQ says it is served in Asian, American, and buffet styles. There is also one on-site restaurant, The Tara, which makes the dining setup simple rather than sprawling. That fits the property’s overall approach: enough choice to be convenient, without trying to be a destination dining resort.

Facilities are a real strength here. Guests can use the outdoor swimming pool with river views, spa services, massage treatments, a spa pool, and a fitness centre, and the hotel also offers bicycle rental. Reviews point to helpful front-desk service, and the free airport shuttle is a useful extra for arrivals and departures.

Location is another clear advantage. The resort sits about 2 km from Chiang Rai’s centre and around 15 minutes from Chiang Rai Airport, which makes it a good base for short stays and easy logistics. The Imperial River House Resort, Chiang Rai suits travelers who want a quieter riverside stay with solid facilities, breakfast included, and a fair rate from USD 60.
