137 Pillars House – Old Building, Modern Luxury in Thailand

Northern Thailand’s historic city of Chiang Mai is home to 137 Pillars House, a unique experience combining modern luxury and elegance in a historic Thai building. This 30 room hotel sits effortlessly on a glorious piece of land along the Mae Ping River, and was formerly used by the Thai government to host visiting guests.

137 Pillars House offers four levels of accommodations, starting with their 20 Rajah Brooke Suites. These suites offer 70 square meters including a suite bathroom, walk-in closet, and tiled veranda overlooking lush tropical gardens. The hotel’s top-tier accommodations are their two Louis Leonowens Pool Suites. At 135 square meters, these one or two bedroom suites feature their own private pools and indoor/outdoor showers. All of the rooms feature four poster king or super king beds with Sealy Posturepedic mattresses and 400-ct. bed linens. Guests will also enjoy personal butlers, concierge service, high-speed Internet, a welcome basket of fruits and local delicacies, and so much more.

Strolling through the grounds reveals carefully preserved lady palms, mimosa trees, and lots of tropical flowers. It is the perfect setting for the hotel’s spa, which offers traditional Thai spa treatments. Guests will find professionally trained therapists and spa staff offering classical massage, aromatherapy, yoga, and a variety of beauty treatments. Guests can even receive private instruction in order to take massage skills home with them.

Nightly rates start at over $600 per night.
