4 of the finest heritage hotels in Asia - SilverKris

"Set in a 20th-century Chinese-style home that was thought beyond repair, this intimate 19-room property retains salvaged original windows and doorways, projecting an evocative old-Shanghai vibe with fuchsia lanterns and handsome stone vessels overflowing with bougainvillea. The hotel sits close to Chareon Muang Road, a narrow strip of old teak buildings now housing creative design studios and galleries. A charming, unexpected perk is the lawn that leads down to the tree-lined Ping River, where guests can watch traditional longboats float by." - Rachna Sachasinh
