Whether it’s a glamorous infinity pool that seems to fade into the sunset or a restaurant with an innovative menu, we love beautiful accommodation with a real point of difference. Standing out as an incredible option, Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin has been recognised as one of CNN Travel‘s top heritage hotels in Asia. With enchanting architecture and plenty of colonial charm, it’s no wonder this hotel has received the impressive title.

Regarded as one of the grand hotels of the East, Centara Grand was Hua Hin’s original railway hotel in the 1920s and Thailand’s first seaside resort. Today, its 251 rooms and suites reflect the property’s past, featuring high ceilings, polished hardwood floors and period furniture – perfect for a romantic getaway.

The five-star resort is among 24 of the region’s most beautiful heritage hotels that emerged in the 19th and early 20th centuries. To find out more about Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin or to make a booking, visit the resort’s website here.
