Lanna-inspired new wing

InterContinental Chiang Mai The Mae Ping is gearing up to unveil its second phase later this year with an aim to be a modern escape rooted in heritage.

Self-coined Khlong Mae Kha Village, the upcoming extension introduces 49 new guestrooms, including Pool Access Rooms, Club Rooms and Suites featuring private balconies, with selected residences offering outdoor hot tubs. Inspired by the historic Mae Kha Canal and designed by Architects 49 Limited, the expansion also features Club InterContinental for privileged guests who get to enjoy deluxe breakfast, afternoon tea and evening cocktails.

Designed as a tranquil cluster of three-storey houses in the style of Lanna wooden homes, the new accommodation units blend urban ease with resort-style relaxation. The architecture pairs clean contemporary lines with floor-to-ceiling views. Ground-floor accommodations offer direct pool access, while upper-level residences feature private outdoor hot tubs on private balconies.

Inside, curated craftsmanship celebrates Lanna’s traditional arts, with Thailand’s signature Golden Chomphunut accents adding a warm, luminous glow to the interiors.
