Tucked between a newly-renovated coffee shop and a shop-house serving noodles, Chalnatt Hotel (28/4 Nimmanhaemin Soi 11, 094-759-9169, www.fb.com/chalnatthotel) is yet another hip hotel opening up North.

With its bare bricks, hanging lights and pipe-lined ceilings, it might look your standard loft-style hotel, but what sets it apart are the concept furniture and constant dim lighting which remind us of an old noir-ish film set. 

The hotel offers three room types--the superior king, superior twin (both B1,450), and deluxe king (B1,650), which comes with a giant sofa and spacious walk-in closet. Rates are inclusive of a daily American breakfast.
