99 The Heritage Hotel
Lanna rooflines and terracotta warmth inside Chiang Mai's ancient walled city
About the Property
Positioned on Ratchamankha Road within the moated old city of Chiang Mai, 99 The Heritage draws on Lanna architectural motifs — steeply pitched rooflines, carved teak detailing and warm terracotta tones — to create an atmosphere rooted in northern Thai cultural memory. Within walking distance of Wat Phra Singh and the ancient city walls, it offers an immersive base for exploring the spiritual and artisan heritage of the Lanna kingdom.

Highlights
History Timeline
King Mangrai founds the walled city of Chiang Mai as capital of the Lanna Kingdom, laying out the moat and grid of temples that survive today.
Burmese forces capture Chiang Mai; the city enters two centuries of Burmese rule that shape its temple architecture and urban fabric.
Siam formally annexes Chiang Mai; Ratchamankha Road within the old city walls is established as a cultural and religious corridor.
Wat Phra Singh, metres from the future hotel site, receives royal patronage and is formally designated a royal temple of the first class.
99 The Heritage Hotel opens on Ratchamankha Road, designed with Lanna architectural vocabulary to complement the old city's temple precinct.
