Tucked away in Chiang Mai’s quiet Wat Gate neighbourhood, 137 Pillars House is a beautifully restored teakwood residence with roots stretching back to the 1880s. This calm, green hideaway has just 30 suites, each with its own veranda, polished wood floors, and deep rolltop bath. There’s a leafy courtyard garden, a quiet spa, and an infinity pool that catches the light in the late afternoon.
Dishes draw inspiration from Northern Thai and European traditions. Sustainability runs through the operation — from refillable glass bottles and rattan tote bags to support for local weavers and elephant conservation.
Explore the old town by traditional samlor (rickshaw), browse the museum in the original house, or join a cooking class in the open-air kitchen.
