"A departure from its historic sister property in Chiang Mai, the gorgeous 137 Pillars Bangkok epitomizes contemporary design and modern luxury. The boutique hotel soars above the busy streets of the city center and invites visitors into a true oasis; but while the great location, beautifully appointed suites, and gourmet dining may be the initial pull, it’s the hotel’s incredible spa and wellness center that will have you never wanting to leave. Two infinity-edge pools offer sweeping views of the city from the 27th floor and the rooftop, respectively, and a modern, glass-walled gym houses cutting-edge equipment and private yoga and Muay Thai sessions, but the real star of the show here is the Nitra Serenity Centre. The spa, which sits on the 28th floor, offers a wide range of holistic face and body treatments, including both traditional and modern practices. Notable treatments include Reiki and The Sleep by Design Therapy, which is geared towards jet-lagged travelers." - Gabby Shacknai
