Hua Hin remains a favourite seaside destination to both Thais and local expatriates. Although a day trip is certainly possible with the development of better roads over the years, a short stay is a more sensible choice for a weekend break. Located in the town centre, InterContinental Hua Hin is a seaside luxury resort with a newly refreshed and expanded lobby that sets the stage for an elevated arrival experience.
The InterContinental Hua Hin Resort is dedicated to preserving and honouring the rich history and cultural heritage of Hua Hin. Renowned for its elegant 1920s design, the resort pays tribute to Hua Hin's golden era of travel during the establishment of the train route from Bangkok to Hua Hin. This significant historical event played a pivotal role in shaping the city into the vibrant destination it is today. The design of the train itself is reminiscent of the 1920s era. The recreation of the iconic voyage in history was introduced by the InterContinental Hua Hin Express, which features a route within the hotel that offers guests an opportunity to immerse in the rich heritage and charm of Hua Hin.
All 119 guest rooms and suites located in the beach wing have been enhanced with a refreshed look while keeping the reminiscences of the glorious 1920s and the Royal heritage fully intact.
The newly revamped iconic swimming pool, recognised as the Top 10 Best Hotel Pools in Thailand by Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2023, offers the perfect place to indulge and unwind with plush lounge seating, cosy gazebos and a poolside bar featuring a selection of delightful treats and drinks.
Many facilities were renovated such as the sun-bathing area, game room and Planet Trekkers Kids’ Club. Choices of restaurant outlets are plentiful. Pirom Restaurant offers the exquisite taste of local and international cuisines. Azure Restaurant is a beachfront location of Mediterranean cuisine and seafood. Jaras Hua Hin presents Thai cuisine with a refreshing twist of culinary ingenuity paired with exceptional service. For pet-lovers, Café de Khoi is a pet-friendly café, ideal for both guests and their furry companions. The more casual outlets are 111 Social House, featuring cafe-style comfort food and coffee during the day, and CoCco Bar, celebrating the art of Thai cocktails in every sip.
