The Sofitel Centara Grand Hotel & Villas was the Kingdom’s first resort hotel, built on an idellic seaside setting in 1923 and has been updated to all the most modern amenities. The lovely, colonial-style building constructed from mostly wood is situated amongst lush gardens, which has many unique topiary intricately trimmed into shapes of elephants, squirrels, and birds on 16 hectares of land, with its own beach. It is centrally located in the town of Hua Hin and is only a short walk to the best shopping, restaurants and bars. In the evening, dine at the hotel’s Palm Seafood Pavilion and Terrace, choose the candlelit tables just paces from the sea, the staff even provide torches to read the menu. The cuisine is excellent at this outlet. Dominque Martinez has just been recently been installed as the hotel’s Executive Chef.
