GUEST ROOM SERVICE
Rachamankha
has 25 rooms, from 1 to 26: in
keeping with tradition there is
no room number 13. There are 3
types of room; 18 superior
rooms, 4 deluxe rooms and 2
suites. No, there’s no mistake,
we do have 25 rooms; suite 24
can be converted into 2 rooms, a
deluxe room and a superior room
if required.
The two
keynotes of Rachamankha are a
more personal, friendly service
- we want our guests to really
feel at home - and design. With
design in mind, the owner
personally designed the interior
of every room, fitting each one
with antique furniture and
object dŽart from his own
private collections to emphasize
the personal touch, and give
each room its own character.
During the
research phase of the project
that was to become Rachamankha,
the architect, Mr. Ong-ard
Satrabhandu visited and studied
many old Lanna temples; his
intention being to revisit and
revive the old architectural
forms of the region. On one such
visit he came across a temple
undergoing rebuilding, the old
wiharn was marked up for
demolition. Immediately
recognizing the importance and
rarity of the structure he
bought the entire building. It
became the central sala, or
pavilion, a quiet and
atmospheric space which acts as
a private lounge for the hotel’s
guests. The structure was
rebuilt in the original way: all
of the timber, columns and even
the rich, red finish is
original. Ironically, since the
completion of Rachamankha there
has been a Lanna revival with
many local temples being
restored to their original Lanna
forms: the sala has been studied
many times by artisans who have
been engaged in temple
restoration.
There are
18 superior rooms; 6 twin
rooms and 12 double rooms. Each
room has been individually
decorated with antiques
collected from the 3 regions
that have had the greatest
influence in the overall design
concept of the hotel; namely
Lanna, The Shan State of Myanmar
and China. There is nothing
antique about guest comfort:
satellite television, DVD
players, air-conditioning and
wireless internet connection as
standard. Every room has the
comfort and convenience of the
21st century, combined with the
enduring charm and classic
design of yester-year.
Rachamankha has 4 deluxe
rooms, each with its own
unique style. In keeping with
the theme of the hotel the rooms
are decorated with Asian
antiques. For guest comfort
modern amenities abound
including, wireless internet
connection, DVD players and
satellite television.
Room Specifications: The deluxe
rooms are 40sq.m. in size and
include room numbers 10 and 11
on the ground floor and 15 and
16 on the second floor.
Each of Rachamankha's two
suites comprises of two
bedrooms, with designer en-suite
bathrooms, a large lounge and a
kitchenette, yet the similarity
ends here.
Suite 26
is located above the
library. It has a large
private balcony with views
of the pool and gardens: a
very private space,
occupying as it does the
entirety of the second floor
of the library building. The
interior design beautifully
combines congeniality and
grandiose: in the judicious
use of soft furnishings,
occasional furniture and
deeply comfortable lounge
chairs one feels at home;
and with the opulent
details, the chandeliers,
plush drapes and canopy
beds, one feels at home in a
very grand home.
Suite 24
is located through a rather
unassuming doorway to the
right of the entrance
courtyard. The first space
one enters is a delightful
courtyard garden: privacy is
assured as suite 24 occupies
a corner position and the
garden space is walled. On
entering the suite there is
a real sense of being in a
living space, not the usual
sterile hotel environment,
as the object dŽart, for the
most part, are cherished
pieces from the owner’s
private collection.
Luxuriously
decorated with rare Asian
antiques and all the necessary
mod cons; Rachamankha’s two
suites tastefully combine the
timeless quality of classic
design with modern convenience.

Specifications:
The suites are 100sq.m in size.

private courtyard garden.
