Young travellers, if you’re seeking a swanky stay with all-day brunch and a 24/7 infinity pool, 137 Pillars Suites & Residences is the Bangkok getaway you won’t want to miss!
Looking for the perfect Bangkok getaway that offers luxury, convenience, and plenty of Instagram-worthy moments? Our recent stay at 137 Pillars Suites & Residences proved it’s easily one of the city’s top spots for a stylish escape.
We stayed in the Ayutthaya Suite, and let us tell you – it felt like stepping into a Pinterest dream come to life. This one-bedroom suite, spanning a generous 95 square metres, was everything we’d imagined and more. With mood lighting, a Bose sound system, and a walk-in wardrobe so spacious we may or may not have twirled in front of the full-length mirror a little too long, it was the epitome of luxury. The ensuite bathroom was a marble masterpiece, featuring a circular soaking tub that comfortably fit two, complete with a built-in TV – ideal for catching up on our favourite series during a luxurious bubble bath. Our favourite part? The suite’s expansive balcony. Furnished with a rocking chair, a cosy daybed, and a seating area, it offered stunning views of the Bangkok skyline, especially at sunset with a glass of wine from the in-room private wine cellar. Mornings were spent lounging on the balcony, soaking in the vibrant city below.
For young travellers like us, a late brunch is a lifestyle, and 137 Pillars gets it. Forget those dreaded 10am cutoffs – here, breakfasts runs until 5pm (honestly, that alone makes it worth staying). And we’re not just talking about the usual eggs and toast. Picture fresh oysters, artisanal cheeses, and an à la carte menu that could easily rival Bangkok’s top brunch spots. We indulged in everything from French toast and fluffy pancakes to gourmet dishes like wagyu steaks and salmon that felt more like fine dining. Plus, if you’re vegan or vegetarian, you’re in for a treat – 137 Pillars offers dedicated menus that cater to plant-based diets without compromising on flavour. All of this was served in the exclusive Baan Borneo Club, reserved for suite guests, where panoramic views of the city paired perfectly with our meal. It’s the ideal spot for late risers who still want to brunch like it’s a weekend – every day. The fact that you can roll out of bed at 4pm and still get a gourmet brunch? That’s basically the dream.
Another must-know about 137 Pillars is their rooftop infinity pool – nothing short of iconic. Reserved exclusively for suite guests (hello, VIP status), it’s open 24/7, catering to both early-morning swimmers and midnight dip enthusiasts like us. The pool offers breathtaking 360-degree views of Bangkok’s glittering skyline, and there’s something surreal about floating in the water with the entire city at your feet. Poolside cabanas are ideal for relaxing, and we spent one afternoon sunbathing, reading, and ordering cocktails from the Pool Bar, which serves some of the best sundowner drinks in town. The tropical vibes and unbeatable views make it feel like a luxury oasis, far removed from the bustling streets of Sukhumvit below. Speaking of sundowners, don’t miss the complimentary sundowner cocktails from 5 to 7pm. Expert mixologists whip up gin-based delights, and we sipped on ours while watching the sky transition from golden hour to twilight. Whether you’re unwinding after a day of exploring or gearing up for a night out, these cocktails – and the view – are the perfect way to kick off the evening.
It’s the little things that make 137 Pillars truly stand out – like their chauffeured cars, which whisk you to the nearby EmQuartier shopping mall or Phrom Phong BTS station. No more waiting for a Grab or haggling with taxis! And let’s not forget the service. The staff are incredibly attentive, always ready to help or share stories about the city. The service here is impeccable without being pretentious – it’s all about ensuring you have an stress-free stay. All these thoughtful details, paired with the hotel’s modern energy, make 137 Pillars Suites & Residences Bangkok an ideal choice for young travellers. From the late brunches to the rooftop pool and sundowner cocktails, everything is designed to provide an elevated, luxurious experience without the traditional stuffy hotel vibes. Plus, with its prime location in the heart of Sukhumvit, you’re just steps away from Bangkok’s best shopping, dining, and nightlife. For your next trip to Bangkok, make sure to book a stay at 137 Pillars – you’ll be lounging by the rooftop pool with a cocktail in hand before you know it!
