Na Nirand Romantic Boutique Resort

娜丽兰浪漫精品酒店是藏在清迈市中心的旖旎避世之所。一墙之隔即是著名古寺 Wat Chai Mongkhon寺，清幽的氛围呼应着酒店内的百年雨豆树，殖民地风格的建筑在园林植被的掩映中仿佛诉说着故事。
这一瑰宝促生的灵感源于酒店所在地Charoenprathet路的历史与传奇。拉玛五世王时期，西方的影响传到了东方。这一区域曾是当时的林业历史性要地，林业厅就在咫尺。当时，这是第一个皇家森林保护机构，更富有传奇性的是，这一棵如高塔般矗立在娜丽兰的巨大百年雨豆树，正是当年第一位森林保护者 H.Slade 先生亲手所植。
除了历史传奇故事，客人们也许会被南奔王后裔的泰北佳人与来自曼谷的绅士之间的真挚爱情故事所打动。至今，他们所拥有的 Baan Thab Phaya，依然矗立在原来的地方，等待着游人感受和发现永恒爱情的真谛。
本土与殖民文化的再营造
酒店共有45间客房套房别墅，所有六栋建筑皆为半木式的兰纳殖民化风格设计，带领访客回溯到十九世纪末拉玛五世王朝，殖民式建筑风格影响泰式房屋设计的时期。这种兼具古典与浪漫的艺术与本地兰纳建筑通过装饰得到了完美的融合，造就出优雅简单真实的兰纳风格。精致的装饰性木雕营造出复古的氛围，二楼拱顶门上的独特的灰泥双象装饰更追溯性地反映出森林工业时代大象作为劳动力的历史。
娜丽兰致力于促进保存和传递本地文化，以免它在时光中湮灭。因此在娜丽兰，到处可见传统工艺的印记，如独特的兰纳织布花纹，如由本地村民制作的房间设施。所有的木制和藤制家具，不仅展现出本地手艺人的精湛技艺，而且有助于促进本地社区收入增长。酒店内部错落植有大小不一的各种树木花草，着意让访客感受并体验到源于自然的平静安宁和闲适。同时，酒店居住区和设施区都采用了环绕式设计，巨大的雨豆树是挺立在娜丽兰酒店的永远的中心……
Na Nirand Romantic Boutique Resort is a charming hideaway nestled in the heart of Chiang Mai. Just a wall away is the famous ancient temple Wat Chai Mongkhon, with a quiet atmosphere echoing the centuryold rain trees in the hotel. The colonialstyle architecture is hidden in the garden , as if telling a story.
Legendary stories combined with the history of the Charoenprathet road area, the location of the resort, are the inspiration behind the birth of this beautiful gem. During the reign of King Rama V, Western influence was spreading to the East. This area was historically important in terms of forestry, and the Forestry Office is merely a few steps away. In the past, this was the first Royal Forest Department, and legend has it that The Giant 100yearold Rain Tree that towers uniquely over Na Nirand was planted by Mr. H. Slade, the first Conservator of Forests in that era.
In addition to historical legends, guests may also appreciate The Story of True Love between a beautiful girl descended from the Ruler of Lamphun and a Bangkok gentleman, the owner of ”Baan Thab Phaya”, which still sits in its original location, waiting for guests to feel and discover the true definition of ”Eternal Love”.
The Reimaging of Local and Colonial Cultures
Na Nirand has totally 45 rooms, suites, and villas. All 6 residences are designed in the halfwood LannaColonial style, taking you back in time to the period of King Rama 5 at the end of the 19th century, when colonial architecture had an impact on the design of Thai houses. The combination of classic and romantic art with local Lanna architecture is reflected with warmth through the decor. Elegant, simple and authentic Lanna style. The vintage atmosphere is delicately adorned with ornamental wood carvings and a pair of stucco elephants on the arches of the second floor doors, reflecting the area‘s history of elephant labor in the forestry industry.
Na Nirand aspires to promote, conserve, and convey local knowledge, in order to prevent its disappearance over time. Traditional crafts are used in every aspect of design, such as the many unique Lanna woven cloth patterns, room utilities constructed by local villagers, including wood and rattan furniture, to display the skills of the local craftsmen and to help spread extra income among the communities. The resort is surrounded by indigenous trees, large and small, allowing guests to feel and experience natural peace, tranquility, and relaxation. The residences and facility buildings are all designed to encompass the giant rain tree, which distinctly stands as the centerpiece and Heart of Na Nirand...
