Muang Chiang Mai, Thailand

137 Pillars House

Built around a colonial teak homestead dating back to 1889 — once owned by Louis Leonowens, son of Anna of Anna and the King fame — 137 Pillars House Chiang Mai is an award-winning 30-suite boutique hotel that revives the old world elegance of the Orient while offering every modern luxury, with tiled verandas, cane shades, rattan furniture, and free-standing Victorian baths blending with outdoor garden showers, flat-screen TVs, Nespresso machines, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Winner of One Michelin Key, recognized by Tatler Best, Travel + Leisure, Green Globe, and American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts, 137 Pillars House is a deeply personal and home-style retreat where guests are treated as personal guests — led through the surrounding charms of Chiang Mai and welcomed back into pampered privacy within the tropical gardens. Guests can discover Chiang Mai’s heritage by Classic Royal Enfield sidecar, explore temples by traditional samlor, learn long-lost Lanna recipes at a Thai cooking class, or simply unwind at Nitra Serenity Centre — all curated through the hotel’s hand-selected attraction programme and sustainable community spirit.

  • Michelin Key & Leading Awards — The only boutique hotel in the Wat Gate district to hold One Michelin Key, recognition from Tatler Asia, Travel + Leisure, and American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts, cementing its status as Chiang Mai’s most acclaimed heritage retreat.
