As the name implies, the hotel\u2019s remake draws on Northern Thai merchant mansions and Lanna traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In pre-opening publicity, the Hilton group presents Kahavadi Chiang Rai as blending contemporary design with local artistry and authentic experiences that reflect the destination\u2019s character. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe debut of Kahavadi Chiang Rai marks an important milestone in Hilton\u2019s continued growth in Thailand and further highlights Chiang Rai\u2019s appeal as one of the country\u2019s most compelling cultural destinations. Southeast Asians and Pacific Islanders,\u201d Hilton said in pre-opening promotions on 18 June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kahavadi Chiang Rai, Curio Collection by Hilton, is now accepting reservations for stays starting 1 July 2026. It features 167 rooms and suites across several room categories. Accommodation includes 144 deluxe rooms, 22 one-bedroom suites, and a two-bedroom Kahavadi Family Suite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To celebrate, Kahavadi Chiang Rai has set its opening rate at THB3,800 per night. As part of the opening celebration, Hilton Honors members who book directly will earn 1,000 bonus points per night for stays between 1 July and 31 December 2026. Hilton Worldwide, on its trending stories portal, flagged the opening rate at THB4,136, including service charge but excluding government taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kahavadi Chiang Rai, Curio Collection by Hilton is located at 6 Moo 4, Tambon Rimkok, Muang Chiang Rai, Chiang Rai 57100. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A business card sent to TTRW purportedly identified the GM as Terryn Schlenther, but efforts to confirm the GM\u2019s details directly with the hotel’s administration were unsuccessful at the time of posting the news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The resort is a rebirth of the Rimkok Resort Hotel that opened in 1990 with 248 rooms on an extensive garden estate overlooking the river. It initially catered to international tour groups before undergoing a management change and operating as the Wiang Indra Riverside Resort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the COVID-19 crisis, which caused massive damage to emerging and hidden-gem destinations across northern Thailand, the property closed for a major makeover, ushering in Hilton\u2019s \u201cCurio Collection\u201d and rebranding it as the Kahavadi Chiang Rai, Curio Collection by Hilton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
