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.

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 -

Centara Stay
We spent 10 days at the Centara Villas in August. The staff and management were exceptional in their level of service and offerings. My only complaint would be our villa where the maintenance was below par and tired.Read moreDate of stay : August 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 -

Centara- My favourite resort
1. Excellent location, walking distance to night market, market village 2. Heritage building:breath of history and luxury with great AC and superb services 3. Excellent breakfast buffet with lots of halal options ( although not hallal certified yet). Endless choices at the egg cooking station ( egg Benedict, omelette, soft broiled eggs),sour dough bread, croissants, fresh milk, fresh fish carpatio, fruits, just to mention few. 4. 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. I visited in August, where the pay one get one free night offer apply 8. Hotel service for trips and adventures is great too, very comfortable car and great guideRead moreDate of stay : August 2024 -

Great family stay at the Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin
This was the second year we enjoyed our family's summer vacation at the Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin. It is a beautiful and classy resort with the best beach, gardens, and swimming pool area in Hua Hin. The rooms are very clean, spacious, well-appointed, and quiet. The breakfast service was excellent. Enjoy your mornings relaxing in the beautiful gardens. In the late afternoons, enjoy a cocktail or beer at the Coast Beach Club. The hotel location is excellent, with easy, quick walking access to many restaurants, the city center, and the night market. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful.Read moreDate of stay : August 2024 -

Excellent beachfront hotel in beautiful and perfectly maintained gardens
We enjoyed everything about this hotel : although close to the vibrant center of hua hin, this hotel is an oasis of tranquility due to the beautiful and extensive garden surrounding it. You feel welcome as from the moment you enter the premises. The personnel is very attentive and does everything to make you feel comfortable. The hotel offers all modern facilities in an ‘Old days’ flair. Our ocean facing room was very comfortable, large and had a very comfortable kingsize bed. The food offering (breakfast, lunch & dinner) is high quality and extensive : difficult not to find your taste. We regretted having to leave after 3 nights. We would definitely recommend the hotel and hope to be able to visit again.Read moreDate of stay : August 2024 -
