Hotels
There are a number of hotels and resorts in and around Hua Hin. There are many up-market accommodations, in keeping with Hua Hin's more patrician reputation. However, many of these are quite competitively priced, so a trip to Hua Hin is a real opportunity to pamper yourself. Aside from The Oriental in Bangkok, the Centara Grand is the only colonial styled hotel surviving from the early twentieth century. Built in 1923, the Centara is truly Thailand's first 'resort' hotel. The hotel's location right on the beach in the center of Hua Hin is nearly perfect. The suggestions below are just a few ideas from places I've visited or heard good things about. You can use the box on this page to search the entire list of Hua Hin hotels for more options.
