Hua Hin was once the chosen getaway for the Kings of Thailand in the 1920s who would come here to escape Bangkok’s muggy climate. As such, it claims it is Thailand’s original beach resort and still attracts nobility and luxury travellers. This is a busy cosmopolitan city of lively markets, delicious restaurants and street stalls, as well as long beaches.

I'm a 60 year old man who has travelled a lot and my honest opinion of this hotel is that is is with out a doubt the best hotel that I have ever stayed in.
Incredible colonial accommodation, claimed to be the oldest beach hotel in Thailand, right in the centre of city. Stunning white sand beach (watch out there's lots of jellyfish). We would highly recommend.
