137 Pillars House was a luxurious haven that exceeded my expectations in many ways, though there were minor areas for improvement. The rooms are impeccably designed with expansive space and modern amenities, while the restaurant offers excellent food with a few additional choices that could enhance the experience. The attentive and friendly staff made me feel at home throughout my stay, although the spa services were a bit limited during my visit.

My stay at 137 Pillars House was truly an escape to a peaceful oasis amidst the busy city of Chiang Mai. The historic charm of the main house and the warm hospitality of the staff made the experience lovely.

Overall, it’s a beautiful retreat with great amenities and services that overshadowed the minor inconveniences.
