137 Pillars House

Beautiful, historic property, very attentive staff that lives up to the "boutique" hotel experience. Our Butler "Tuck" was always available when we needed something and took good care of us. Suites are well equipped, spacious with beautiful decor. The electrical components are plentiful but a bit confusing to operate. A little lesson at check-in of the room would have been helpful - 😁. The breakfasts are delicious and offer a variety of fresh options. Property and pool are so relaxing and lovely. Jack Bains Bar is very special and the drinks that our bartender "Bat" made for us were tasty and a work of art with all the fruit/veggie accouterments including fresh herbs and flowers. We also enjoyed our time at the spa during our stay which I highly recommend. Thank you for a fantastic stay- we made the right choice in Chiang Mai. The Hadleys

Thank you to the entire team at 137 for their service during our stay. Special shoutout to Toto who took excellent care of our family. He anticipated every need, was professional and friendly, and made everything easier. We appreciate his attention very much.

The property is an oasis of calm and serenity, everything is “just so”, tasteful and easy. The bedding - OH - you sleep on heaven (I sleep on Hastens and Pratesi at home, I know a good bed).

The location. The property is situated in a location which rather far from both the Old Town (backpackers heaven) and the fashionable Western part of Chiang Mai.

A beautiful period property in a fantastic central location. Very much an oasis in the city. Staff weee incredibly helpful and attentive.

The pool is lovely but due to central location has no view and is often in the shade.

137 Pillars is one of my favorite hotels I have ever stayed in. The team was absolutely incredible and ensured we had a wonderful time whether we were inside the hotel or out exploring Chiang Mai. The room was gorgeous and tranquil, and the entire property was a true oasis, away from the bustle of the old city. We had dinner there once and breakfast each day, and the food was divine. Friends staying at other high end hotels in town came to 137 for a drink and were blown away by its beauty. We almost didn’t want to go sightseeing because we enjoyed being at the hotel so much! It was a true luxury experience and we hope to one day return. You won’t regret staying at 137 Pillars!

This is one of the finest hotels we have ever stayed in. Elegant and classy on every level. Particular compliments to Tuki, our generous Butler and attendant, who went over and above to take care of our family. I expect she will be running an important hotel one day soon!

We rarely complain and I find completing this review difficult but necessary. The stay at 137 Pillars was the second to last leg of a three week trip. Honestly we were exhausted and were looking forward to a good evening rest at the end of each day. That didn’t happen. To the contrary - we were kept up by a neighborhood dog that was barking throughout the entire night for two nights. At 4:00 in the morning the second night I couldn’t take it any more and called the front desk. Nobody answered. I texted our host who was no longer on the premises - no answer. Finally, I walked to the front desk at 4:30 am - after a five minute wait an office attendant came out. She walked with me to our room and heard the dog barking uncontrollably and persistently. She offered to give us a new room the next day - which we did. It wasn’t much better the third night because there was a bird outside our room all night chirping away - but it wasn’t as bad as the dog. When I discussed the dog problem with the manager the next day he admitted he was aware of the problem with the dog barking all night, yet they had still given us a room in the immediate proximity of its location. Though they gave us a new room with one day left, it wasn’t much better. As a traveler, this was a small disaster and they never did anything to compensate us for the two horrendous evenings. Shame on them. That said, the hotel facilities and meal accommodations are outstanding - you just have to be selective about the room given to you and since most won’t be aware of the issue - we suggest finding a different place to stay until The hotel management acknowledges it has remedied this problem for prospective future guests.

137 Pillars is a beautiful and serene bubble in the middle of Chiang Mai. From the moment we walked through the front entrance our heartbeats slowed, our breaths relaxed, and any residual stress fell away. It is an oasis of serenity. Classic architecture supported by all things modern made our 5 day stay quite sublime. The location is perfect, just outside the truly busy part of the city but it is an easy walk to the city. Many restaurants within steps of Pillars. However, all of that would not have mattered if the staff was not stellar. The service was seamless. Our butler Tuck was beyond stellar, she was extraordinary. She led her team with grace, kindness, professionalism, intelligence, and anticipated our every need. She and her team took such good care of my husband when he fell sick (for a day), making sure he ate, provided electrolytes, dropped in throughout the day. (I was at the Elephant Nature Park) Tuck directed us to Big who worked out a day of activities outside of Chiang Mai. He really listened to our likes and dislikes and crafted a wonderful day that was a nice combo of active and beautiful. Thank you Big. Luang, our driver for the day was phenomenal, and made sure we got to and saw everything we wanted to see and took very good care of us. We would go back in a heartbeat.
