About

137 Pillars House

137 Pillars House is a 5-star hotel overlooking the Ping River in Chiang Mai, housed in a historic teak building that whispers of a bygone era. With only 30 rooms, the property offers an intimate atmosphere where modern comforts blend seamlessly with colonial charm. The hotel is set in a quiet residential area, yet within easy reach of the old city's attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring the cultural heart of Thailand's northern capital.

Guests can unwind at the Anantara Spa, a soothing 25-minute walk away, or take a dip in the outdoor swimming pool surrounded by lush gardens. The on-site restaurant serves inventive cuisine, complemented by a bar and lounge area. With a fitness centre, yoga classes, and opportunities for hiking and cycling, the hotel caters to both relaxation and activity, all delivered with warm, attentive service.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • In-room breakfast timing can slip — One guest noted that their in-room breakfast wasn't served at the requested time, a minor hiccup in an otherwise flawless stay.
  • Premium pricing — As a 5-star boutique property with only 30 rooms, rates are at the higher end, which may not suit budget travellers.
  • Limited on-site parking — While parking is available, the hotel's residential setting may mean limited spaces; guests with cars should plan accordingly.
