Sofitel Centara Grand Resort Review

A stay at the Sofitel Centara is a luxurious romp into another time. Though it opened in 1922, it still offers the classiest accommodations in the area. Renovations over the years have expanded the hotel into a large and modern full-facility hotel without sacrificing a bit of its former charm. The whitewashed buildings, shaded verandas and walkways, fine wooden details, red-tile roofs, and immaculate gardens with topiaries create a cool, calm, colonial effect. There is a small hotel museum of photography and memorabilia, and the original 14 bedrooms are preserved for posterity. The original rooms have their unique appeal, but the newer rooms are larger, brighter, and more comfortable. Though they boast furnishings that reflect the hotel's old beach resort feel, they are still modern and cozy.

The adjoining Centara Hua Hin Village is also under Sofitel management and features luxurious, private seaside villas (42 in total).

Facilities:
5 restaurants; lounge; bar; airport transfers; babysitting; bikes; kids' club; executive floor; golf course nearby; fitness center; 3 outdoor pools; room service; spa; outdoor lit tennis courts; watersports equipment

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
