U Nimman hotel is placed where the old Amari Rimcome hotel used to be. An old classic Lanna style hotel with lavish seasonal buffets and a great pool has been replaced by a modern, contemporary, stylish, typical Nimmanhemin road hotel with even more excellent food and an even more impressive pool.

I had the pleasure of staying at U Nimman just before the outbreak of covid took off. And a strong memory is the fantastic swimming pool on the roof. U – Nimman spoiled us with an infinity pool with a view of Maya mall and the night lights of Chiang Mai. The ridge of Doi Suthep was also clearly visible. It provided a stark contrast to the modern parts of Chiang Mai.

Opportunities occurred to down a cocktail while enjoying the Chiang Mai cityscape at the Splash Pool Bar. The hotel also offers free use of bicycles. U – Nimman Chiang Mai is located at the corner of Nimmanhemin Road, opposite Think Park and Maya Lifestyle Shopping Center.

U Nimman Chiang Mai has a great location for the urban tourist

The rooms were not overly impressive, but the hotel offered a smashing and clean-cut smörgåsbord for breakfast. Then, of course, it is the proximity to One Nimman Mall and the rest of Nimmanhemin’s coffee shops, pubs and spas.

The hotel is also close to Chiang Mai University, the old city wall and Central Kad Suan Kaew.

Other comparable choices on Nimmanhemin are Akyra manor, Eastin, or Kantary hotel. If you are looking for mountains and nature, this is not the location, however.
