About Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin
Originally known as the “Railway Hotel”, the Centara Grand Beach Resort &Villas Hua Hinfirst opened in the early 1920s, just as the cozy fishing village of Hua Hin was being discovered by the world via the opening of a new railway line to Malaysia. What was to become over time, Thailand’s most refined beach resort was fortuitously graced by the newly-built Railway Hotel, which was designed to classic colonial lines. Now sympathetically restored and expanded to include all of the recreational and guest facilities that travelers expect from a beach resort, the Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas remains one of the ‘grand old hotels’ of the East.Set facing Hua Hin’s famously wide breezy beach front, the Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas is still skirted by an expanse of gardens, an important part of its atmosphere of dignity and serenity, but the Resort is also located conveniently to the town center.
