Ever popular with international and local travelers, Sofitel Central is a celebration of a bygone era. Opened in 1923 as The Railway Hotel, Thailand's first resort hotel, it quickly developed a reputation as one of the holiday experiences in Asia - its charm, elegance, service and style in the same vogue as Singapore's Raffles, Hong Kong's Peninsula and Bangkok's Oriental hotels.

The Sofitel adjoins the beach, but it is only a 1-minute walk to the centre of Hua Hin. Each room has a private terrace overlooking the Gulf of Thailand or the spacious private gardens which cover some 15 hectares. Facilities include four swimming pools, two tennis courts, windsurfing, sailing, putting greens, a croquet lawn and a billiards room.

Dining service ranges from extravagant seafood presentations to French cuisine, authentic Thai and traditional high tea in The Museum while the Elephant Bar offers a range of exotic cocktails that are second to none.
