137 Pillars House Chiang Mai, Thailand

Tucked behind ancient walls in Chiang Mai’s Old City, 137 Pillars House is an intimate boutique retreat built around a restored teak mansion and shaded gardens. 

With just 30 spacious suites, the atmosphere feels hushed and residential — polished wood, high ceilings, and verandas that open onto greenery and still water.

It’s a place where history lingers quietly, softened by tropical light and careful design.

What Makes It Special

• 30 large suites, each with high ceilings, freestanding bathtubs, and private terraces.
• A restored colonial teak house, anchoring the property with historical character.
• Lush garden setting, rare for a central city location.
• Infinity pool, positioned above the gardens for calm afternoon escapes.
• Refined dining, blending Thai flavors with international technique.
• An atmosphere that feels secluded despite being steps from the Old City.

A Day at 137 Pillars House Chiang Mai

Morning

Wake to birdsong and filtered sunlight through trees. Breakfast is served slowly — tropical fruit, warm pastries, and Thai dishes — with the garden still cool and quiet.

Afternoon

Spend time by the pool or wander the Old City before retreating back into shade and calm. The contrast between city and sanctuary is immediate.

Evening

As lanterns glow across the grounds, dinner feels intimate and unhurried. The garden settles into stillness as the day fades.

Night

Your suite feels serene and composed — soft textiles, warm wood, and the gentle hush of leaves outside.
