All of the 30 suites in this boutique hotel are sympathetically designed in line with the building’s interesting history dating back to 1889. Complete with roll top baths, elegant four poster beds, beautiful teak furnishings and stunning Oriental accents, each room is completely unique and a work of art in itself.
Warmly welcoming guests back each evening after days exploring the ancient sites, guests can take advantage of the tranquil 25-metre swimming pool set alongside a beautiful garden wall. Yoga, meditation and a fully equipped gym are available to pamper body and mind. Expert therapists are on hand at the spa or even in the privacy of your own suite with therapies such as Thai and Aromatherapy massages to revitalise and rejuvenate.
Dining at 137 Pillars House is a picturesque affair with each venue being stunningly situated either on the veranda, around the infinity pool, in the lush tropical grounds, or in the beautifully decorated dining rooms. Cuisine includes gourmet and fragrant Thai dishes, full of heady spices coupled with fantastic modern European menus.
