are in the area, and the night market is 15 minutes away on foot. Its highlights are
the full-service spa and huge lagoon-style pool with swim-up bar plus multiple restaurants. The 296 spacious rooms offer a modern Thai look as well as balconies with gulf views in many rooms. While it's not as luxurious as the nearby Centara Grand, the Hilton ranks among the top-tier resorts in the area, though some aspects are a bit dated.

Scene
Modern Thai-style beachfront resort
The Hilton Hua Hin Resort & Spa is housed in a
15-story building on lush grounds with palm trees, topiary, fountains, Thai elephant
sculptures, and winding paths. Guests enter to a contemporary Thai-style lobby
with vaulted ceilings, large flower arrangements, sofas, Thai and contemporary
sculpture, and an indoor reflecting pool in front of a huge glass wall
overlooking the massive outdoor swimming pool. The pool is the hotel's
centerpiece, and it features a lagoon-style swimming area bordered by a
lawn and spacious palm-lined deck with lounge chairs. Guests gather here to sun
themselves and sip cocktails from the swim-up and poolside bars. This isn't the newest resort in town, and it shows in chunky furniture, bland chain-hotel decor, and slightly over-the-top decorative elements like terra cotta naga sculptures. The resort
has direct beach access and tends to attract families and couples, who
appreciate the beach, pool, and other facilities, plus the location near the night market and other sights. Business travelers make use of the meeting
rooms. Service at the resort is generally excellent, in keeping with Hilton
brand standards.
