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.
