Global hotel operator Hilton will debut its first property in Chiang Rai, Northern Thailand under the Curio Collection brand on July 1.

Known as Kahavadi Chiang Rai, Curio Collection by Hilton, the opening marks Hilton’s broadening expansion into Southeast Asia.

Situated along Mae Kok River, the 167-key hotel comprises 166 deluxe rooms and suites, as well as a 225 sq m (2,422 sq ft) two-bedroom Kahavadi Family Suite. All rooms overlook the hotel’s gardens and pools, with some offering partial views of Mae Kok River.

Designed as a modern take on the historic Lanna merchant houses that used to line Northern Thailand’s waterfront, the hotel features classic moldings, rattan furnishings and timber shutters set against a soft white-toned palette. Works by Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai-based artists are showcased throughout the property.

Facilities include outdoor pools, a fitness center, and an eForea spa where treatments draw on authentic Northern Thai healing traditions such as Tok Sen – an ancient therapeutic technique using rhythmic wooden tapping to relieve muscular tension and promote circulation.

The hotel also features an all-day dining venue, Larderley; a riverside restaurant Tasabiang as well as a hotel lounge and bar called The Ledger.

Guests can further immerse themselves in Northern Thai culture through guided bicycle tours to nearby temples and hands-on culinary programmes offering a market-to-table experience, hosted by the hotel.

The property also offers six event venues, including a 1,762 sq m (18,966 sq ft) riverside lawn and ballroom.

Kahavadi Chiang Rai, Curio Collection by Hilton is a 10-minute drive from Chiang Rai’s city center, with the cultural landmark Wat Rong Suea Ten (Blue Temple) just five minutes away by car.

Alexandra Murray, area vice president and head of Southeast Asia, Hilton, says “Chiang Rai represents an important next chapter in Hilton’s growth across Thailand and Southeast Asia, as travelers increasingly seek meaningful experiences in destinations rich in culture, nature, and discovery beyond traditional gateway cities.”

宾客还可通过酒店组织的附近寺庙骑行导览，以及“从市集到餐桌”的手作烹饪课程，进一步体验北泰文化。

物业另设六个活动场地，包括1,762平方米（18,966平方英尺）的河畔草坪与宴会厅。

Kahavadi Chiang Rai, Curio Collection by Hilton距清莱市中心约10分钟车程，文化地标蓝庙（Wat Rong Suea Ten）仅约5分钟车程。

希尔顿东南亚区域副总裁兼负责人Alexandra Murray表示：“随着旅客日益寻求在传统门户城市之外、富有文化、自然与探索体验的目的地，清莱是希尔顿在泰国与东南亚发展的重要下一章。”
