Considered as 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. Centara Hotels & Resorts 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. The location has also been used as a setting for several Hollywood films, most notably the Oscar nominated “The Killing Fields”.

Hua Hin itself has a royal history. As a beach town in Prachuab-khirikhan province, Hua Hin is situated on the sunrise side of the stunning Gulf of Siam, and remains Thailand’s oldest and most desired beach destination. This powdery white sand beach first came into the limelight in 1922, when King Rama VI’s royal architect constructed Klai Kangwon or “Far from worries” seafront summer palace of golden teak. The palace is still used by the present Royal Family and open to public when royalty is not in residence.

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.
