Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin 

Heritage appeal by the sea

This restored 1920s gem oozes old-world charm on Hua Hin Beach.

The Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin is one of Hua Hin’s most well-regarded hotels, with an elegant colonial-style feel and a reputation for remarkable service. The hotel originally opened in the early 1920s when the new railway line to Malaysia transformed this sleepy fishing village into Thailand’s first beach resort, and the buildings seamlessly blend the historic with the contemporary.

Why we love Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin

  • The resort has an enviable position between the beautiful Hua Hin Beach and the town’s dynamic streets

  • It’s an architectural gem that blends original colonial buildings with immaculate modern recreations to impressive effect

  • You’ll never be short of things to do here, with everything from putting greens and t’ai chi classes to a superb spa to enjoy

  • The extensive gardens that stretch along the seafront are known for their topiary, including a 100-year-old elephant

Al fresco dinners by the beach or in the stunning gardens are the norm. COAST Beach Club & Bistro is the place to be for freshly caught seafood, tasty pizzas and grilled meat in a laid-back beach setting, and the all-day dining restaurant Railway Restaurant is inspired by Hua Hin’s original railway station. Head to Suan Bua for home-style Thai or Hagi for superb Japanese. Meanwhile, The Museum transports you back in time with its an acclaimed afternoon tea.

Railway
Each day will begin with a buffet breakfast at the Railway, a replica of Hua Hin's original Railway Station. In the evening a range of international dishes are also on offer.

COAST Beach Club & Bistro
A modern, vibrant place to relax throughout the day and the perfect spot for a light bite at lunchtime, a mid-afternoon treat or cocktails at sunset.

Suan Bua
For traditional Thai dishes, head to Suan Ban.

Hagi
Featuring live-cooking teppanyaki stations and a sushi counter, traditional and modern Japanese cuisine is available here.

Elephant Bar
Located in the main lobby, the Elephant Bar is a sophisticated yet laid-back spot to enjoy light snacks during the day or perhaps a pre or post-dinner cocktail such as the signature ‘Heritage Fizz’.

The Museum
Stepping into The Museum coffee and tea corner is like stepping back in time. Found in the hotel’s original hotel lobby, this is an elegant setting in which to enjoy a traditional English high tea and delicious pastries and cakes.
