Sofitel Centara Grand Resort & Villas

With 13 hectares of private landscaped gardens, Sofitel Centara Grand Resort & Villas, Hua Hin has a unique old-world charm that reflects “Old Siam”. Considered as one of Southeast Asia’s most romantic hotels, this luxurious resort offers charming colonial-era architecture with teak work furnishings of the superbly maintained guestrooms and suites, which date back to 1923.
Originally known as The Railway Hotel, the first class resort accommodated visitors to King Rama VI’s summer palace. The Central Hotels & Resorts group acquired it in 1985 and has displayed the historical past in the hotel’s own museum with artefacts and antiques. The Architects Association of Thailand gave the hotel an award for "outstanding conservation" in a category dedicated to preserving historic Thai buildings.
Hua Hin still maintains a quaint Old World feeling with its small streets and night market. Thailand’s first golf course also began here and today Hua Hin is a haven for golfers and water sports lovers. Its beautiful railway station is renowned.
