Set around a series of enclosed courtyards privacy and serenity are guaranteed. In fact the hotel almost has a monastic atmosphere thanks to the calming and traditional Lanna architecture - covered walkways, dramatic sloped roofs and the central sala. The body of the hotel is set apart from the hotel's restaurant which is open to non-residents. This ensures that the living facilities within the hotel are reserved entirely for resident guests only.

WHAT ITS GOT

Rachamankha has 25 rooms - 18 superior rooms (32sq.m), 4 deluxe rooms (40sq.m) and 2 suites (100sq.m). One of the suites can be converted into 2 rooms, a deluxe room and a superior room if required for families.

The superior rooms open directly onto the main courtyard and offer either double or twin beds. All rooms have been individually decorated with antiques so no one room is the same.

The deluxe rooms are located on a balcony overlooking the main courtyard. They all feature spectacular four poster beds reaching to the ceiling. There is space for an extra bed in these rooms and the wide balcony is just for the use of guests staying in the Deluxe Rooms.

The 2 suites are located in a separate courtyard and each comprises of two double bedrooms, designer en-suite bathrooms, a seperate lounge and a kitchenette. Suite 26 is located above the library. It has a large private balcony with views of the pool and gardens. Suite 24 is located through a rather unassuming doorway but opens into a delightful walled corner garden.

Every room and suite has satellite TV, with a full range of channels, and a DVD player; there is a library of modern titles for free viewing by guests available at the front desk.

The hotel has a beautiful 20m teal-tiled swimming pool, serviced by a two-storey pool pavilion which houses the pool bar on the ground floor and a massage spa on the second floor.

The library at Rachamanka is also a definite highlight. Fitted from floor to ceiling with polished hardwood the room is lit by chandeliers. The day’s papers are put in the library every morning; books are available for guests’ enjoyment during their stay; and 2 personal computers are set-up with high-speed internet connection for free use by guests. Complimentary brandy is left out in a crystal decanter with crystal glasses for guests’ enjoyment.

There is wireless internet connection throughout the hotel, accessible in all the guestrooms, by the pool, in fact anywhere on the property.

FOOD & DRINK

The restaurant building is situated next to the hotel's entrance. It offers air-conditioned indoor dining for up to 60 guests and outdoor dining for up to 70 guests in a cosy cobbled courtyard. The walls are decorated with Ming Dynasty porcelain and 19th century Thai “Kradat Khoi” paintings. The courtyard is extremely popular for intimate weddings or functions. Upstairs the restaurant building houses a gallery and boutique.
