Overview
Parc Borough City Resort is a 5-star luxury aparthotel that functions as a high-end sanctuary on the southern edge of the city. Completed in 2018, it manages to combine the service of a boutique hotel with the utility of a serviced apartment. Each of its 57 units is designed as a suite, featuring a full kitchenette and separate living area, making it a premier choice for those staying in Chiang Mai for more than just a weekend.
The property is defined by its "City Resort" philosophy - once you step behind its privacy walls, the noise of the busy Mahidol Road disappears into the sound of koi ponds and lush landscaping. It is particularly famous for its Regency and S-Class suites, which offer sprawling layouts and marble-clad bathrooms that rival the city's top international hotel brands.
Developer & Management
The property is managed with an emphasis on "Northern Thai charming service," often receiving 9+ ratings for staff hospitality. As an aparthotel, it offers a more "home-like" feel than the Marriott or Shangri-La, but with equivalent 5-star amenities like daily housekeeping, a full-service spa, and a highly-regarded rooftop restaurant.
Location & Transit
Parc Borough sits on Mahidol Road, the city's main airport artery. This makes it incredibly convenient for flight access but challenging for pedestrians.
| Station | Line | Distance | Walk | Motorbike |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Central Airport Mall | Hub | 700m | 10 min | 2 min |
| Airport (CNX) | Flight | 1.8km | N/A | 4 min |
| Saturday Market | Wualai | 2.3km | N/A | 5 min |
| Old City Gate | South Gate | 3.1km | N/A | 8 min |
Tip: Walking can be hazardous. While the mall is only 700m away, the route involves a dusty highway overpass. Most guests utilize the hotel's free airport shuttle or use Grab/Bolt to cross to the other side of the road.

The Bottom Line
Parc Borough City Resort is "The Luxury Landing Pad." It offers the most spacious and well-equipped suites in the airport area. While you trade the walkability of Nimman or the Old City for a highway location, the resort's interior world is so complete - with its spa, fine dining, and massive rooms - that you may find you don't want to leave the gates at all.
