Chiang Mai, Thailand

137 Pillars House

Where colonial elegance meets quiet Chiang Mai charm

Step into a living legacy of Lanna grace and colonial heritage

Nestled in a leafy enclave just minutes from Chiang Mai’s old city walls, 137 Pillars House is a lovingly restored 19th-century teak homestead turned luxurious boutique hotel. With its graceful blend of colonial-era architecture and contemporary comforts, the property offers a deeply personal and historically rich escape for discerning travelers.

Home to just 30 thoughtfully appointed suites, each space at 137 Pillars House is a sanctuary of understated elegance. Teak floors, vintage furnishings, and deep soaking tubs evoke a bygone era, while private verandas and outdoor showers invite guests to reconnect with the natural rhythms of the tropics.

Dining at the hotel is a refined affair. Palette Restaurant showcases seasonal Thai and Western dishes crafted with locally sourced ingredients, while the Jack Bain’s Bar and Baan Borneo Club echo the region’s colonial past with handcrafted cocktails and vintage-inspired ambiance. Guests can also enjoy breakfast in a lush garden setting or opt for a candlelit private dinner on their veranda.

Wellbeing is interwoven into every element of the experience. The Nitra Serenity Centre offers bespoke spa rituals, yoga sessions, and wellness therapies designed to balance body and mind. The 25-meter lap pool and tranquil garden pathways further enhance the property’s immersive calm.

137 Pillars House is perfect for romantic retreats, heritage lovers, and cultural travelers seeking an oasis of refined luxury with a soul steeped in Chiang Mai’s colonial and Lanna heritage. This isn’t just a place to stay - it’s a window into Northern Thailand’s golden past, lovingly preserved for today’s modern explorers.
