iuDia Hotel

Intimate riverside heritage with a scholar’s soul

Live among ruins, dream among relics

Tucked along the serene banks of the Chao Phraya River and directly facing the majestic temples of Ayutthaya Historical Park, iuDia Hotel is more than a boutique stay - it’s a living homage to the city’s golden past. With ancient stupas silhouetted just across the water, this 13-room heritage hideaway offers a quietly intellectual retreat infused with nostalgia, serenity, and local artistry.

Every room is different, individually decorated with antique furnishings, art pieces, and literary touches that reflect the charm of an old-world study. Each of the 13 suites features a distinct personality, many with river views or direct access to quiet garden courtyards. The atmosphere is that of a Thai noble home from another era - yet gently modernized for today’s comforts.

While there is no on-site restaurant, guests can enjoy homemade breakfasts, afternoon teas, or local dining recommendations curated by the staff. The saltwater swimming pool faces the temple-studded skyline, and there’s a small library and reading area for those who wish to retreat with a book, a tea, and a view.

Ideal for writers, cultural explorers, and heritage enthusiasts, iuDia invites you to slow down, soak in the stillness of river life, and experience Ayutthaya not as a tourist, but as a thoughtful guest among ancient neighbors.
