137 Pillars House

A historic building set in stunning gardens in Old Chiang Mai

Built in the 1880's as part of the East Borneo Company headquarters, 137 Pillars House is a beautiful teak wood building that has been carefully restored to reflect its 19th-century origins. With 30 beautiful suites, gourmet dining, a swimming pool, library and an array of spa treatments, this place has a warm and relaxing ambiance.

The undoubted air of sophistication at 137 Pillars House is in part due to the interplay between the nostalgic design and décor and the modern comforts of a contemporary hotel. Each of the generously-sized suites has a veranda or patio overlooking the stunning gardens.

Service here was outstanding, and such a unique place to spend your vacation.

The pool was one of the most gorgeous ones I've seen in a long while. It had a gorgeous full-on plant wall feature. The green hues reflected in the pool water was mesmerizing.

Incredible hotel with exceptional staff

Everything is attended to so that guests can just relax and enjoy their stay in Chiang Mai. Their personalized service means that each guest has a designated butler who will work tirelessly to make sure guests' requests are taken care of right away. Meanwhile, the whole staff is familiar with guests Read more[SPLIT]Read lessand their room numbers, so that we never had to ask for our room key by using our name or room number. They just knew. And the experiences they set up for us were wonderful. 137 Pillars is also gay friendly. During our stay, we saw at least two other gay couples. My partner and I were made to feel welcome from their first moment of greeting us at the hotel to our last goodbyes. Wonderful rooms, gorgeous architecture, and central location all add to a truly magical experience.

Glorious, idyllic retreat just minutes from the bustling city centre

Flawless service, an unbeatable bed and beautiful calm surroundings are the highlights of this intimate resort. It's just moments from the centre of Chiang Mai and yet feels like it's on a private island. The resort makes clever use of plants and natural features to provide a sense of privacy which Read more[SPLIT]Read lessis at all odds to the actual, central and super convenient location. You can be enjoying a cocktail on your veranda one minute and at a bustling night market just moments later via tuk-tuk. The staff are brilliant. Nothing is too much trouble and they make good service effortless. They also provide a great concierge service and recommended interesting local highlights.
