2 Best Hotels in Hua Hin, The Gulf Coast Beaches

This stunning resort packs a lot into its relatively demure dimensions. Accommodations include spacious pool villas and giant Club InterContinental suites, the latter of which come with perks including private check-in, afternoon tea, and evening cocktails and canapes. Other highlights reveal themselves as you make your way through the tropical grounds towards the beach. These include a gorgeous pool, creative Thai outlet Jaras, and a lively, Art Deco–inspired beach bar. 

A massive lobby area makes a striking first impression while guest rooms are as opulent as one might expect, with many offering direct access to a pool that loops around the verdant tropical grounds and joins with the bigger, lagoon-style, family pool. Dining options are equally generous. Try Big Fish, the resort's casual beachfront grill, for a seafood platter groaning with giant prawns, juicy scallops, and lobster claws packed with tender meat.
