V Villas Hua Hin is a luxury property located at the south end of Hua Hin, close to the main shopping mall, Cicada Weekend Market, and plenty of restaurants and bars. The resort has 23 one-, two-, or three-bedroom Pool Villa Suites, all featuring the complete trappings of luxury, from Bose sound systems to wine refrigerators, as well as fine bedding, private swimming pools, and even the services of a private butler. The grounds are laid out in an elongated maze-like garden, with the villas interspersed and hidden away throughout. There's a lovely infinity-edge pool and hot tub overlooking the beach (one of the cleanest and nicest of Hua Hin), as well as an elegant restaurant with sunken tables surrounded by water, a small fitness center, and a high-end spa. Rates are expensive, but for those looking to splurge, you’ll do no better. Travelers seeking something comparable, but at less expensive rates, could consider the Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin.

Chalelarn Hotel Hua Hin is a mid-range hotel with a convenient location in downtown Hua Hin, near the night market and a 10-minute walk to the beach. The hotel is one of the taller buildings in this area of town, and there are good city and sea views from the excellent rooftop swimming pool, which also includes a separate hot tub. The 61 guest rooms feature a blend of modern and traditional Thai decor, as well as free Wi-Fi and contemporary bathrooms, though we did spot a bit of wear. A basic breakfast with mostly Western options is included. The location is excellent, surrounded by tons of restaurants, street stalls, and bars. Those looking for similar digs right on the beach should consider Imperial Hua Hin Beach Resort instead.

The 29-room Vana Varin Resort is a mid-range property set on expansive grounds located outside of Hua Hin in a quiet, rural area. The beautiful grounds include a small lake and several waterways that can be navigated by free kayaks. There are a variety of rooms here, including thatched roof adobe structures set right on the water, as well as two-bedroom traditional Thai villas, some with private pools. The hotel has a lovely pool, as well as a restaurant serving free breakfast. Though it's a 20-minute drive into town, the resort operates a free shuttle bus daily, plus there are free bicycles to use as well as ATVs for rent. Jaidee Resort is a similar property in the countryside that offers cheaper rates, but the grounds aren't as lush and pretty.

The Ayrest Hua Hin is a pleasantly modern mid-range hotel that's a five- to 10-minute drive north of attractions like the Night Market and Klai Kangwan Palace. The 56 guest rooms are contemporary, if plain, with neutral accents and few pops of color from Thai silk textiles. The best rooms come with either hot tubs on the terrace, direct pool access, or both, and all rooms have free Wi-Fi. The hotel has a small restaurant that serves free breakfast, a meeting room, and ample parking, but the central garden swimming pool is the real highlight. It's a 10-minute walk to the beach from here, and those wanting something in the same price range right on the sand should consider the Imperial Hua Hin Beach Resort, though it's not as sharp.

A beachfront resort on the Gulf of Thailand, the Hilton Hua Hin Resort & Spa, is right in the middle of Hua Hin town. Numerous restaurants, shops, and massage parlors 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.

The 64-room G. House is a simple, two-and-a-half-pearl guesthouse that's outside of the town center, but a 15-minute walk from the night market -- plus a free shuttle goes to town several times a day. Rooms are bright and clean, with basic amenities like safes, minibars, and televisions, as well as Wi-Fi and breakfast included in rates, but bathrooms are small and could use an update. The hotel has a small restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch, as well as two meeting rooms. Aside from budget travelers, G.House also attracts golfers drawn by the special package deals that include green fees and transportation to nearby courses. For something with more features, Jaidee Resort has a pool, hot tub, and small cinema, but it's a bit more expensive and farther from town.

The Imperial Hua Hin Beach Resort is mid-range, beachfront hotel with 124 rooms that's a 10-minute drive from Hua Hin's city center. A free shuttle goes into town throughout the day, making this a convenient base for enjoying the sea and the city. Rooms are spacious and come with flat-screen TVs, but they are a bit worn. Free breakfast and Wi-Fi are standard. As the beach is really only usable during low tide, the resort's large free-form pool provides a place to cool off -- it includes a kids' section and swim-up bar. There's also a small fitness center and an attractive restaurant overlooking the sea. For something with more style, check out the slightly more expensive G Hotel, which is only a five-minute walk from the beach.

Situated just outside of southern Hua Hin, Banyan The Resort, Hua Hin is an upscale 72-villa property. Each simple and modern villa has a kitchen, and all have private pools or hot tubs. This isn't the place for travelers seeking a beach vacation, though the shore is just a five-minute drive from here. In fact, many guests come here specifically to golf, as the resort owns a nearby golf course. In addition to a large splash pool for kids, there's a stylish restaurant, Coral, with both a bar and dining area, and the resort has a cafe with a deli and gift shop. To be closer to the beach and Hua Hin, check G Hua Hin Resort & Mall -- its rooms are more stylish and rates are far lower.
