Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin
Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas in Hua Hin, Thailand, is an elegant sanctuary with old-world charm, originally known as The Railway Hotel when it first opened in the early 1920s. When the railway line from Hua Hin to Padang Besar in Malaysia was built, Centara Grand Hua Hin opened its doors, transforming this once sleepy fishing village into a chic seaside getaway. Gleaming with colonial accents, this beautifully preserved hotel in Hua Hin is considered one of the most famous heritage hotels in Southeast Asia. Retreat to Centara Grand Hua Hin for an idyllic respite from the crowds.
The tropical sunshine, sweeping green lawns, and scenic sandy stretch at Centara Grand Hua Hin provide a perfect setting for enjoying the remarkable views. Explore our manicured gardens featuring stunning topiary creations, including a 100-year-old elephant. Discover the region’s recreational activities as well as lively local markets and shopping centres. Savour freshly caught seafood prepared with authentic Thai recipes or indulge in a classic cocktail by the seashore. As an artful blend of tradition and modernity by the peaceful waters, Centara Grand Hua Hin is the perfect place to unwind and relax.

Cozy Room and Excellent Location, with Minor Drawbacks
The hotel room had a dark, cozy ambiance, which was quite inviting, though there was some noise from the hallway that could be heard inside. The room provided flip-flops for beach instead of the usual slippers. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the beach, with easy access to nearby bars, shops, and restaurants. The lounge offered great live music, adding to the atmosphere, though the lighting was a bit too bright for my taste, which slightly took away from the otherwise relaxed vibe.Read moreDate of stay : October 2024 -

What a wonderful gem of a hotel
First time visit to Hua Hin and the Centara Grand and it most definitely will not be the last. The hotel has a colonial theme and a 100 year history that manages to make customers feel that time has stopped however it’s luxurious atmosphere and staff attitude and attention to customer care is right up to modern times and fit for a 5 star hotel. The gardens and hotel are simply stunning and gives customers a sense of relaxation and comfort. Pool teams are always welcoming and attentive to guests needs. My only slightly negative comment an my challenge for the hotel is to address bringing the guest rooms up to modern day standards without loosing the historical charm of the hotel. Don’t get me wrong the rooms are lovely but dated. Overall a fantastic hotel and I would highly recommend for a holiday in Hua Hin.Read moreDate of stay : September 2024 -
