Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin
Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin
An elegant sanctuary with old-world charm, Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin began as The Railway Hotel back 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 and transformed the sleeping fishing village of Hua Hin into a stylish seaside escape. Gleaming with colonial accents, this beautifully preserved hotel is one of the most famous heritage hotels in Asia. Retreat to Centara Grand Hua Hin for an idyllic respite from the crowds.
Tropical sunshine, vast, green lawns and a lovely stretch of sand create a variety of relaxing vantage points for remarkable views at Centara Grand Hua Hin. Stroll through our manicured gardens of topiary creations, which includes 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 Thai recipes or indulge in a classic concoction by the seashore. An artful blend of tradition and modernity by the peaceful waters, Centara Grand Hua Hin is the perfect place to unwind and relax.

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 -

Great location and wonderfully run hotel
A hotel that makes an effort - many little things adding up to a lovely stay. The manager taking the time to speak to customers all around the property each day and take feedback, the incredible grounds, the singing/music talent. Peaceful, relaxing and right in the middle of Hua Hin.Read moreDate of stay : July 2024 -

Magnificent, spacious resort with exceptional team
Our family stayed in two single room villas for 4 nights - our only regret was not staying twice as long. The hotel is simply magical. People describe the old school charm and history of the place, but don’t let that frighten you off. The vast grounds and the incredible, friendly and attentive staff are reminders that sometimes the old ways are the best. The villas were spacious and beautifully designed, looking wonderful, and having your own private pool is great at the end of long days exploring the area around Hua Hin. Can’t wait to come back.Read moreDate of stay : August 2024 -

Professional staff going beyond and above 5. I was sent a birthday cake on my birthday 6. General manager always visible around, taking feedback from the guests and helping them if needed. 7.
