With the increase in visitors to the royal resort of Hua Hin, the growth in hotels, apartments and guest houses has been phenomenal. No one need worry about finding accommodation to suit their budget here, because Hua Hin caters for everyone. Below is a list of the very top 5-star hotels.
Dusit Thani Hua Hin, Petchkasem Road.
One of the first hotels in Hua Hin and still one of the best, the Dusit Thani is located about ten minutes outside the town on a quiet stretch of beach. Its two magnificent pools are set in lush gardens with lotus filled lagonns and a very large pond filled with Koi carp - very popular with children. The Deverana Spa is set within the large grounds of the hotel, as is horse riding, tennis, and the well equipped gym. Four restaurants, bars and nightly entertainment in the Polo Club makes this an ideal resort hotel.
The Sofitel, Hua Hin
The Sofitel is one of Hua Hin's very historic hotels. Built in 1923 as the Railway Hotel, it has been lovingly restored and now offers a blend of the old and the new. Its gardens attract visitors to admire the life size elephant topiary dotted throughout the grounds and through which scarlet, yellow and orange bougainvillea grow. Film buffs may recognise the façade as something they saw in “The Killing Fields”.
Hua Hin Anantara Resort Hotel
Built in traditional Thai style, the Anantara is a popular and luxurious resort hotel which even offers karaoke along with the more usual tennis, volleyball, spa treatments water sports and a good video library. Lotus filled lagoons in the rustic styled village retains the very Thai atmosphere of this hotel which is located just outside the town and on the beach.
Hua Hin Hilton Hotel & Spa
Right in the centre of town, the Hilton is in a good position for those who like to fall out of their hotel and straight into shops, bars and restaurants. It has a stunning swimming pool and like the others, is built right on the beach. It's superb Chinese Restaurant on the top floor attracts a lot of visitors from Bangkok and is well worth a visit.
Hyatt Regency Hua Hin
This 204 beachfront hotel is located just outside the main town of Hua Hin on a 250 metre beachfront site. It claims to have the largest recreational facilities for the whole family of any hotel in the area. Three interconnecting pools, a river pool with waterfall and jacuzzi that flows into the lagoon pool which flows into the free-form pool means that everyone’s taste in swimming is catered for.
Hua Hin Marriott Hotel
It is a gentle ten minute walk from the town centre to the Marriott Hotel which fronts a delightful beach dotted with umbrellas and comfortable chairs, although many people prefer to use the garden which is slightly raised from the beach giving a good view of all that happens there. Thai decor throughout makes this a restful hotel.
