Originally built around a restored original homestead in the late 1800’s, walking into 137 Pillars House will make you feel as if you’ve walked onto a colonial Thai movie set – think stone pathways, a reception floating on water, tropical flora and a vine-walled pool. This exquisite hotel has 30 beautiful suites to choose from and offers an authentic feel of pure sophistication. From its plethora of gourmet dining experiences and an array of spa treatments, to a tranquil library and its bespoke gentlemen’s club-like bar, you’ll be sure to fall in love with this corner of Chiang Mai.
This lovingly restored teak homestead, around which the hotel is built, has a rich colonial heritage and originally sat on 137 pillars (hence the name). It dates back to the late 1800s when it was the northern headquarters of the (British) East Borneo Trading Company which worked in forestry. The office was opened by Louis Leonowens, whose mother was a British teacher in the Royal Thai Court (Anna and the King). The house served as a residence of the manager until 1927, and in the post-WWII years, was sold to a Scotsman, William Bain who joined the company. William’s son Jack followed in his father’s footsteps by joining the company and raised his family on the grounds. Homage is paid to these former owners and pioneers throughout the hotel and brand.
Enjoy 137 Pillars House's sublime location and explore everything this corner of Chiang Mai has to offer. From the city's inspiring culture to the beauty of its surrounding mountains and waterfalls, be sure to explore the historic 14th century Wat Chedi Luang temple and the Thai modern art in the Maiiam Contemporary Art Museum.
