137 Pillars House

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.

We had an incredible stay at 137 Pillars. The hotel is absolutely beautiful—peaceful, elegant, and luxurious—while still preserving its 200-year-old history in a way that feels authentic and special. It’s the perfect blend of old-world charm and modern comforts. The staff truly makes this place exceptional. Everyone was wonderful, but a special thank you to Tucky, our amazing butler. She seamlessly unpacked and packed our rooms and went above and beyond helping us with last-minute travel changes. Her care, professionalism, and attention to detail made our stay feel completely effortless. She even helped clean our muddy shoes after our Elephant tour! While you’re there, don’t miss the Elephant Highlands Tour, which 137 Pillars partners with. It was a memorable, thoughtfully done experience and a real highlight of our trip.

Just got back from 137 Pillars in Chiang Mai and i'm still speechless! this place is a hidden gem 💎! the architecture, the vibes, the location... everything is just perfect 😍! the rooms are AMAZING, super comfy and decorated with such taste, but what really made my stay was the STAFF 💕 - they were always with a smile, super friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. the resort is like a little oasis in the woods, so peaceful and relaxing. perfect for couples or solo travelers looking for a chill vibe. plus, it's close to some awesome local spots with live music. We are looking forward to going back soon.

The suite was lovely and the Pillars House was remarkable. Best shrimp ever at the bar. The staff was beyond great and Tucky was a life safer when all our clothes got wet at the Bangkok airport. Could have used some sunshine but the experience was near perfect!

I’ve dreamed of staying here for years and it lived up to the hype. The room was fantastic and grounds beautiful. What I really loved was sitting on the terrace when it rained or to escape the heat and enjoying the ambiance. The entire staff is excellent and our butler Toto was so helpful with everything we needed. It’s within walking distance in the old city but at the end of the day get a grab car for a cheap quick ride back. Highly recommend 137 pillars as a way to unwind from a busy day exploring Chiang Mai. Also, Anne the GM is a gem!
