An independent all-suite hotel high above Phrom Phong, Bangkok, with 24-hour butlers, a suites-only rooftop infinity pool and a Borneo Trading Company heritage.
Collection:
Need To Know
- 34 suites, on the upper floors of the tower, from the 70-square-metre Sukhothai to two-bedroom Rattanakosin, all with marble bathrooms, balconies or full-length windows, and a private butler; 179 serviced residences suit longer stays.
- In Phrom Phong, on Sukhumvit, by the EmQuartier and Emporium malls, a short walk or a free shuttle from BTS Phrom Phong.
- A 24-hour rooftop infinity pool for suite guests, a second pool for all guests, the Nitra spa, a gym, a golf range and several restaurants and bars.
- The rooftop pool is for suite guests only; residence guests use the busier pool a floor below, and this is a vertical city hotel rather than a resort.
- Our Favourite Suite: the Ayutthaya, for its large balcony and daybed over the skyline.

We Love
- The rooftop pool. A 24-hour infinity pool on the 27th floor, for suite guests only, with cabanas, jacuzzis and a 360-degree view over the city.
- The butlers. Every suite comes with 24-hour butler service, and the personal, by-name care is the thing guests praise most about a stay here.
- The heritage. The whole hotel riffs on the founding family's restored teak house in Chiang Mai, once the Borneo Trading Company's northern base.
- The suites. Named after Thailand's royal capitals, each has a marble bathroom, a balcony or full-length windows and a Bose system, with city views throughout.
- The address. Phrom Phong, among Bangkok's best dining, bars and malls, set back from the main road, with a vintage London cab to shuttle you to the Skytrain.

Travel Info
137 Pillars is on Sukhumvit Soi 39 in Phrom Phong, set back from the main road by the EmQuartier and Emporium malls. BTS Phrom Phong is about a 10-minute walk, or the hotel's vintage London cab shuttles there free every half-hour.

Expert Review
Origins
137 Pillars began not in Bangkok but in Chiang Mai, where the founding Wongphanlert family restored a 19th-century teak house that once served as the northern headquarters of the Borneo Trading Company, a key player in Thailand's old teak industry. The house was named for its 137 supporting pillars, and became a small, celebrated heritage hotel; this Bangkok tower is its urban sister, carrying the same story skyward.
The result is an independent, all-suite hotel occupying the upper floors of a slender high-rise in Phrom Phong, one of Bangkok's most upscale districts, alongside 179 serviced residences for longer stays. The 34 suites are named after Thailand's royal capitals, Sukhothai, Ayutthaya, Thonburi, Rattanakosin, and dressed in a colonial-Lanna style, with marble bathrooms, balconies or full-length windows and city views; each comes with a 24-hour butler, the detail guests remember most. The heritage runs through the public spaces too, from a monumental Tribhumi triptych by a Thai National Artist in the lobby to the Baan Borneo Club lounge, and the rooftop is crowned by a 24-hour infinity pool, reserved for suite guests, with a 360-degree view across the city. Locally owned and genuinely independent, it is a heritage-minded, service-led alternative to Bangkok's big international towers.
Top Secret
The hotel runs its own vintage London taxi, named Louie, as a free shuttle to the Skytrain and the EmQuartier mall; and suite guests' breakfast at the Baan Borneo Club runs until five in the afternoon, so a lazy, late start is not just tolerated but built in.
The Review
137 Pillars Suites Bangkok is one of the more characterful luxury stays in the city: an independent, all-suite hotel set high in a Phrom Phong tower, built around a genuine heritage story and some of the best service in Bangkok. It is the urban sister of the founding family's restored teak house in Chiang Mai, the old Borneo Trading Company base, and it carries that history upward without feeling like a theme.
There are just 34 suites, occupying the upper floors above 179 longer-stay residences, so the hotel part feels intimate. Named after Thailand's royal capitals, they run from the 70-square-metre Sukhothai to the two-bedroom Rattanakosin, all with marble bathrooms, balconies or full-length windows, Bose systems and wide city views; the Ayutthaya, with its big balcony and daybed, is the one to ask for. Every suite comes with a 24-hour butler, and the personal, anticipatory service, remembered names, thoughtful touches, birthday surprises- is what guests single out again and again.
The rooftop is the signature. A 24-hour infinity pool on the 27th floor, reserved for suite guests, juts out over the skyline with cabanas and jacuzzis and a 360-degree view; a second, livelier pool a floor below is open to all guests. Below that sit the Nitra spa, a gym and an unusual golf driving range, along with several places to eat and drink, the Bangkok Trading Post bistro, the rooftop Nimitr restaurant, and Jack Bain's Bar, a Thai-British speakeasy in leather and teak.
A couple of honest points. This is a vertical city hotel, not a resort, and the rooftop pool is strictly suites-only, so residence guests share the busier pool below; Soi 39 and the surrounding streets can be traffic-heavy. But for heritage, butler service and that rooftop pool, in one of Bangkok's best districts for eating and shopping, 137 Pillars is among the most appealing places to stay in the city.
