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.

Experiences with centara hotel.
I have been to Centara hotels in Pattaya and Hua Hin and both hotels were beautiful. Hua Hin has better service, but Pattaya has a better pool and lazy river. Hua Hin is cheaper. Pattaya is a mass holiday. I rate Hua Hin better than Pattaya.Read moreDate of stay : March 2025 -

Our stay at the Centara Hua Hin
Our stay at the Centara Hua Hin was lovely and very good. It is a beautiful hotel with beautiful gardens and the service is excellent. The management and the staff is very friendly and kind. The club facilities are also very good and relaxed My husband and I have been in many hotels all over the world, but we think Centara Hua Hin is the best. For sure, when we stay healthy, we come back to Centara Hua Hin.Read moreDate of stay : February 2025 -

Another fantastic stay at Centara Grand Hua Hin
Just back from another fantastic stay at this hotel. One of the reasons we keep coming back here is the customer service excellence we receive from all of the staff. It is difficult to describe the relaxed ambience the hotel has to offer with its beautiful gardens and swimming pool areas. You just have to see the fabulous beach yourself to appreciate how stunning it is. We learned during this visit that the hotel is to undergo significant renovation work. It’s good to hear of this investment but hope that the changes do not take away the existing character this hotel has to offer.Read moreDate of stay : February 2025 -

Lovely stay in January 2025 at Centara Villas Hua Hin
We spent three weeks at Centara Villas. Having been there repeatedly, we know what we can expect and not. Product is rather old and partly outdated, yet functional and appreciative. The Villas are offering private pool and outside patio, generous space and - albeit old furniture's - good value. As we learned a long awaited demolishing and rebuild of all Villas will commence as of April for 1,5 years, and we hope to be back in 2027 at our favorite holiday place in lovely Hua Hin.Read moreDate of stay : January 2025 -

Surprisingly good.
An excellent 'base of operations' for a Hua Hin golf trip! This hotel in combination of 'GolfAsia' is a perfect combo for a great trip! The hotel is a 140 year old lady in a colonial style. It will be tuned up in the coming years but is already very good.Read moreDate of stay : December 2024 -

Needs sympathetic updating
Lovely colonial hotel, but in need of updating without spoiling this feel. Pools are tired and rooms need upgrading to include USB points and sockets that are usable. Staff are all very attentive. Facilties are good. Food and drink are unnecessarily expensive which doesn't encourage you to stay in.Read moreDate of stay : December 2024 -
